Bloodline - Intellectual

[Chorus]

Thumper on his lap, bullet to his head

God in his soul so he good as dead

God only knows what he really did

Niggas lookin' for him, but he never hid

Yeah, that's how they do it on the daily

Yeah, niggas dyin' on the daily

Yeah, that's how they do it on the-

[Bridge]

Yeah, whoah whoah whoah

Yeah, woah whoah whoah

Yeah, whoah whoah whoah

Yeah

[Verse 1]

Drug addiction afflicted within my bloodline

Both sides of my families victims of drug crimes

Uncles on my mother's side smoke crack

Finance 'em selling guns where my other uncles was at

Braaat, it's on the news, we in the news

They call us terrorists, embarrassed, I was so confused

They hypocrites, so our temperament was unamused

I asked my father, he said "Ignore it and finish school"

I was bruised, too uninformed to even make the connection

Hard to spot the money flow when it's going in both directions

Hard to take a stand when they stand on your neck

Yeah, take a stand and they stamp you a threat

Yeah, that's how they do us on the daily

They don't show the bullets and tanks aiming at babies (Nah)

They don't show the various ranks that yell, "Pay me"

Every time a war is fought they block borders like

[Bridge]

Yeah, woah woah woah

Yeah

[Verse 2]

All this time in Richmond momma said we had to go

Yeah, if you hesitate to set a date to pay the toll

Yeah, half they family living with us that was on the low

Yeah, never put them on the lease, at least it kept us close

Yeah, early on it was ambulances and coroners

Later on in life it was war stories from foreigners

Both baring arms that's manufactured from here

Unaware when aware they sharing a puppeteer

Dear, guarded brokers, it's hard to swallow the notion

From a household divided by land masses and oceans

Sandcastles are bogus when the beach is flooded

Still you have to dig deep to beseech what's coming

I at least had cousins, I at least had brother

Good or bad had examples to police my struggle

Neighborhood had a handsome way to speak so subtle

Pipe dreams on both teams until they breach your bubble

It's sickening to the disenfran'

They don't wanna see from a different stand-

Point, instead want a different strayer

I don't wanna sleep through a mystic plan

I don't wanna be so distant, damn, but it's wearing thin

The roots of my family tree were fertilized with sin, Lord

[Chorus]

Thumper on his lap, bullet to his head

God in his soul so he good as dead

God only knows what this nigga really did

Niggas lookin' for him but he never hid

Yeah, that's how they do it on the daily

Yeah, niggas dyin' on the daily

Yeah, that's how they do it on the

[Bridge]

Yeah, woah woah woah

Yeah
