The Alchemist
The Promised Land
[Hook]
As a kid I really wanted to live in America
Watching films a week early to me that’s all that mattered
Men in Target holding a gun like a wallet
Street n***as selling mixtapes and climbing up that ladder
As a kid I really wanted to live in America
Watching films a week early to me that’s all that mattered
Visit Flea Markets get scammed with some fake shit
Go Disney World in a land full of promise

[Verse]
Living in the UK so dull and so flatter
Literally explore north to south within hours
Brits are so pissed they have no place to Scatter
Eat bеans and toast sitting displaying anger
Everyday we wakе up see a grey sky above us
Swear this place looked the same since Great Fire of London
Architecture lame outdated so abundant
All accents grating no matter the region
Told friends in the past I was from Boston ‘Chusetts
Brits are insipid say anything they believe it
Kids with cigars 16 doomed alcoholics
Asking for change I say n***a go find Jesus
Even the churches feel somewhat suspicious
Non-gospel readers can’t remember verses
Believers not believing maybe that’s why it’s raining
Spirit and Father sees our homes start tearing
To the west is a country with so much just present
As a kid it was sold to me as a land full of freedom
Marketed as place to accomplish your dreams and
When I was in Florida it still felt like heaven
Even if every other place wants that state to be flooded
Nowadays would never step my foot into LA
Other states aren’t treasures their magic has decayed
Just pray for me to get out of the UK
