Keep Mine - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I was stolen of opportunities that could've changed my life

I was handed ripe fruit but you ate it down to its rind

I was shown families that were willing to give me time

But I got one that I'm ashamed to call mine

I was cut open & stolen of soul till I bled dry

I was laying there wondering what day I won't survive

I was left abandoned, happy spirits with bright futures drove by

But I made the most of something I can call mine

I'll keep what's left to call mine

I hope you don't mind

I'll keep what's left to call mine

It's not much, but it's just fine

I was given a hand to hold that had bad blood & looked in evil eyеs

I was perplexed from our past but I could see anothеr side

I was invited to fruit trees & soft sheets to sleep in at night

But I couldn't understand how I could call this mine

I was taken to green hills that could bloom with a healthy sky

I was floating in clouds with kites shaped like the swine

I was held, hand in hand, a shoulder if I need to cry

But now I know I'm able to call this mine

I'll keep what's left to call mine

I hope you don't mind

I'll keep what's left to call mine

It's not much, but it's just fine

Who knows how long this will last?

I was taught I don't deserve a firm grasp

But I've learned from past times

I've learned to keep mine

Who knows until I crash?

Maybe one day, I'll have to go back

But I'm cherishing these times

I've learned to keep mine

I'll keep what's left to call mine

I hope you don't mind

I'll keep what's left to call mine

It's not much, but it's just fine
