House Divided - Intellectual

[Intro]

Told my mama, leave the porch light on

On the chance that I just might come home

I figured out how mama love so strong

Why she love so right, why I love so wrong

[Chorus]

When them nights get cold, when them days get long

When I feel too weak, when I'm on my own

Yeah, they made a man of me, my brothers follow

Really just in the cut getting higher than [?]

Residents of the gate, I was playing the GTA Auto

Shooting, holding my follow through

As far as I know, my father told me I got it

He said I could be a star, I'll still probably just go to college

So fuck it, a house dividеd

But now that I think about it, that wouldn't be so bad

If I was still fifteen, I would be so mad

I envisionеd the road to stardom was easy and never hard

I don't even got the heart for this

I don't even want no part of it

[Verse]

I be content with a crib sitting on Lake Murray

Long as I got a fam, I ain't in no hurry

Take a run on the dam, no stress, no worry

Hands on, hands dirty, I'll do it, no worry

All blessings, no curse

Put the pen on the pad till the pen don't work

Till the pain don't hurt

Till the fire don't burn

Till the wheels fall off, till the wheels don't turn

Yeah it is what is, when are they gon' learn

Yeah we live how we live and it could be worse

Shit it's kids getting killed, yeah it's kids on a shirt, yeah it's kids with a life, all twists all turns

Nobody there
