Somewhere in America is a message of encouragement for people navigating contradiction, struggle, and complexity in a fallen world. It acknowledges that good and evil often exist side by side—within society and within ourselves. This message speaks honestly about identity, division, pain, and perseverance, while reminding listeners that God’s grace is present even when life feels confusing or unfair.

Rather than denying reality, this message invites us to stay strong, remain encouraged, and trust God in the midst of tension. Faith does not ignore struggle—it endures it. Even when systems fail, families fracture, or expectations fall short, God is still at work somewhere in the middle of it all.

“Somewehere In America”

[Intro]

Romans 7:21 “When I would do good, evil was ever present.”

(ooh yeah) Be Encouraged (Be encouraged)

no matter what’s going on (oh he will)

He’ll make it alright (yeah)

But you gotta stay strong (oooh)

[pre-Verse]

Be in, Be in, Be, Be, Be in

Be in, Be encouraged (I don’t know ‘bout you)

Be in, Be in, Be, Be, Be in

Be in, Be encouraged (I don’t know ‘bout you)

[Verse 1]

Shout out to those winning wherever life takes you

Shout out to sore losers, Confederate statues

Do you believe the future we take the mask off?

Or do we still pop pills and blast off?

I said I'm so, I'm so, so messed up

I try so hard but I can’t fit, So many Hats at once

I can't resist my urges define my wants

One life to live, want what you have or have what you want

You could be cursed or be blessed or both at once

You can have expectations and die before they come

You could be the one history speak about

But you can't control what people teach they child (I don’t know about you tonight but)

[Chorus]

Somewhere in America , find all type of characters 

From those who hold views, Christian or Islam 

To Farrakhan, use quotes from Bible and Quran

But most orthodox don't recognize the nay-shon 

Somewhere in America, find all type of characters

No more marriages, just online memberships

You could be Christian mingle and Tinder, Plenty of Fish 

But A Black Planet and Backpage no longer exist 

[Verse 2]

Shout out those who listening and those who came through 

Shout out to nightmares and dreams yet to come true 

I know black folks that say I'm just not black enough 

I know some white folks still see me as a ninja though

When somebody win, that means somebody lose 

That ain't even that profound but it still is true 

All you got to do mumble like you got no tooth 

Over some hot music so when they hear it all you hear is "ooh" 

They might even tell you you're the greatest

For your sake, don't you pay them no attention

That's a grave mistake thinking they gon' stand beside you when they'd rather stand over you 

Like a gravedigger

[Chorus]

Somewhere in America, find all type of characters 

The worst kind are the ones who want to be glorified 

Then there are the ones who know they're wrong but can't tell them right 

In the land of the blind, the king has one eye

Somewhere in America, find all type of characters

Many kids are born but only one parent left

As a means to survive some rely solely on theft 

Some people don't acknowledge that others require help (Be encouraged)

[Verse 3]

Shout out to those struggling, I know what you go through 

I look at the pain and say I wouldn't be nothing without you 

I use this music as a vessel capture how I feel 
LAMAR The Preacher gettiing Cheryl Lynn, Got to be Real

To my death, never rest, yes, that's RIP 

Please confess, who excite your thoughts like me? 

Nevertheless, you or I can't get as far as we 

This what it sound like when doves cry, what did he mean? 

Brenda got a baby now that was a prophecy

Mo' money, mo' problems, lazy eye but could still see

I believe, the children are our future 

Rest in peace to Bobbi Kristina 

[Chorus]

Somewhere in America find all type of characters 

Some wish they could be someone else entirely 

Some work their whole life and never see retirement 

Billions of sperm that night but you made it inside the egg

Somewhere in America find all type of characters 

Can't be classified by a color but we try 

Don’t need to bea GI to see, There's more than what meets the eye

En-Vogue said the rest will follow, if you free your mind 

[Outro]

I don’t know about you tonight but (no matter what’s going on)

Somebody may be crying but I come to let you know that God can (He’ll make it alright)

Make it alright (But you gotta stay strong)

(ooh yeah) Be encouraged
