Lyrics
Seven pounds of future, got my whole block on its feet Tiny fingers gripping like they own the whole street Auntie's on the stairwell, cousins in the hall Grandpa wiped his eyes and swore he didn't cry at all Hospital bracelet, little hat too wide Carried through the doorway with the whole crew outside Balloons on the railing, music on the stoop Even the corner bodega sent a fruit cup and a hoop One, two, three, here we go Turn it up but keep it low Welcome to the world, little boss Everything we got, we put it all across Welcome to the world, little boss Block's got your back, you will never be lost Hands up high, let the whole street know Welcome to the world, little boss, let's go Car seat clicked in, I'm driving twenty-five Never took the corner this slow in my whole life Every little bump feels like a mountain Dad hands on the wheel, heart's a fountain Mama's in the back seat humming something old Little one is sleeping, sweeter than gold Names on the list that we might call you But whatever we pick, you're already true One, two, three, here we go Turn it up but keep it low Welcome to the world, little boss Everything we got, we put it all across Welcome to the world, little boss Block's got your back, you will never be lost Hands up high, let the whole street know Welcome to the world, little boss, let's go Quiet now, quiet now, hush the hallway down Smallest one in the building wears the crown Quiet now, quiet now, hush the hallway down Then we bring it back up loud Welcome to the world, little boss Everything we got, we put it all across Welcome to the world, little boss Block's got your back, you will never be lost Hands up high, let the whole street know Welcome to the world, little boss, let's go Little boss, little boss Welcome home
