[intro]
Will they understand?
Will they understand?
Will they understand?
But what— but what—
But what— but what—
[verse 1: we$tphal]
Remember when they used to pay me for grades?
I would study all night, nothing lower than as, uh
And mom and dad had told me to learn
That respect ain't given, it's something you earn, yeah
Couple years later, i was thinking we were good
No matter where we stood, and there was nothing that could break us
But me and my brother, we were pressured by sports
And then our parents divorced, i couldn't handle the force
Damn, then i didn't know which household to choose
Every day, a different schedule, walking home all confused
Shit, i should've done this, i should've done that
Cause now everything's changed, and i need to adapt
[pre-chorus: we$tphal]
So you can point at me, but you can't even see
Split-house parenting made a man out of me
Sit back, wait and see
Me and my bro got each other's back
So the play is always lateral
[chorus: blvckrosee]
Looking at my point of view, life won't be the same
Had my brother by my side, hoped he wouldn't change on me
My heart just couldn't let you step on me
Sometimes i feel lonely, ohh
Came too far just to make shit up
Shit get hard when it ain't real love
I be so confused why y'all gave it up
Two different homes, but my heart caught on
[verse 2: we$tphal]
You know, i never knew the reason why my parents split
One minute, family dinners, next minute, they just quit
Now what if i behave better?
Would they stay together, was it me?
God damn, that's what i keep questioning
I was stuck in the middle, like a child referee
Breaking up all the feuds, like i'm calling penalties
Damn, switching houses like a vacant hotel
Now i want to quit football cause it's weighing me down
But, my parents told me that it wasn't my fault
Sometimes things happen, people drift apart
But i thank god everyday, i'm feeling so blessed
Because my parents stayed friends throughout this whole mess
[pre-chorus: we$tphal]
Yeah, you can point at me, but you can't even see
Split-house parenting made a man out of me
Sit back, wait and see
Me and my bro got each other's back
So the play is always lateral
And that's real
[chorus: blvckrosee]
Looking at my point of view, life won't be the same
Had my brother by my side, hoped he wouldn't change on me
My heart just couldn't let you step on me
Sometimes i feel lonely, ohh
Came too far just to make shit up
Shit get hard when it ain't real love
I be so confused why y'all gave it up
Two different homes, but my heart caught on
