  • Lecrae uses three different characters on this cut to remind us that everyone has a different story to tell. "'Welcome to America' is a special song because I think everyone has a unique perspective on America," he explained to MTV News. "I wrote the song from three different perspectives, so there's three different people who have different perspectives of what America is."

    "You've got a guy who's from one community, another guy from a completely different community and then you've got a person who's not from America and [it's] their perspective on what America is," he continued. "Everyone sees it differently, through different lenses, and it makes us stake a step back and look at ourselves."
