Welcome To My World
P.A.M. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm living in my own little world
It's much more fun than the real one
It's a world with no hate or sorrow
In my world there is no pain
There's no rich, no poor, no kings or queens
In my world there's only you and me
So hold on to me babe
I just want to feel safe, again
Since every breath I take
Can be my last breath
Before I wake up and blame
Ringtone that took you away
From dream where we were together
You held your hands in my sweather
Oh girl, what a beautiful night
It's a world of many colours
A world in which you can feel free
And although it's only a dream
Let me believe it's real cause I want
To be there stuck with you
Night is short I have to say goodbye
But babe don't cry, tomorrow I'll be back
I'll bring you flowers and I'll sing a song
About love
I'll take you to the shore when the waves are close
I know my world's not the real one though




Wish I could take you to the other side
Take you to the other side of the river

Overall Meaning

In "Welcome to My World," P.A.M. offers a raw and honest depiction of life in the 504 (New Orleans), particularly in the poor neighborhoods. The song's chorus describes how living in the city is hard, a sentiment that is echoed throughout the verses. P.A.M. dives deep into this reality by painting a vivid picture of the city's go-getters, who may have dirty clothes and smell like they're richer, but are actually broke. He also paints a picture of the hood, where block parties and drug deals are common, and where homicides are an almost daily occurrence. The city is also characterized by its gold teeth and nicknames like Big Suo and Hot Boy. The song also hints at the city's history of racism with the mention of bad cops and how representin' the projects can be dangerous.


The verses suggest that this environment wasn't just something P.A.M. witnessed from a distance, but something he lived through. He speaks about a young killer, only fourteen years old when he was shot, suggesting that the streets of the 504 can turn young men into killers or get them killed. P.A.M. describes how this young man, who was once a friend, used to run from the police and rob people. He then details how he was ultimately killed by someone he tried to rob. The song's lyrics suggest that such experiences are common and that camaraderie on the street can quickly turn fatal.
