Four in a Home

[Verse 1]
No board of swing’d pour me thing
One man tryna write a rap for two kings
And the queen that bought me into this world
Little house that held four at old Reynell’
If I don’t take LP time to tell
You how I feel, I’ll never reveal myself
To those unaware who don’t know
The love I share with my big bro
Now it’s o’four I’m sure and I saw
Caught up as a soldier in Georgia’s war
Plus, I was torn when I saw plants transform and
Leave him aboard while his daughter is born
I’ll pray to the lord however you define
‘Til the time where we all stand together combined
To remind me, it’s nice to know
All three were beside me to watch me grow

[Chorus]
Now that’s four in a home livin’ a life
Two headstrong boys and a husband and wife
I see my family in every line that I write
That one bloodline is where I find insight
That’s four in a home livin’ a life
Two headstrong boys and a husband and wife
I see my family in every line that I write
That one bloodline is where I find insight

[Verse 2]
She’s so powerful, but so little
Mum’s verse two ‘cause she was always in the middle
One song is nowhere enough when you’ve been through stress at dad’s job, spots we got into
My philosophy work alone almost killed you
Feel like I should split my degree with you
Told me my worth isn’t gauged by my earning
Each year is a chapter, pages are turning
The day I stop learning is the day that I die
And convictions could never be based on a lie
If my heart wasn’t in it, I’m wastin’ my time
And reality could never be faced when I’m high
You sacrificed all for the sake o’ the tribe
Mum’s heart made up her mind
You could call on me if you feel overcome
For an ear, but more so, an ever lovin’ son

[Chorus]
That’s four in a home livin’ a life
Two headstrong boys and a husband and wife
I see my family in every line that I write
That one bloodline is where I find insight
That’s four in a home livin’ a life
Two headstrong boys and a husband and wife
I see my family in every line that I write
That one bloodline is where I find insight

[Verse 3]
Now, this man deserves to win lotto
I call him dad, we call him Johnno
Follow his lead in a world hollow with greed
I’m not an MC without the knowledge I need
Plus, dad was so deep, worked so hard
Night shift master, lurked in the dark
Once in a while, I’d get a school day sick
And we’d sit ‘round together watchin’ ninja flicks
In the midst of such greatness, felt compelled
To better myself enlightened to tighten my belt
And exam time, I remember so well
You convinced me to go battle in Melbz
At Revolver, thanks for the guidance and help
Those statements put paperweight up on a shelf
Dad, you never said much, but when you did
We knew to listen ‘cause we could only ever benefit

[Chorus]
And that’s four in a home livin’ a life
Two headstrong boys and a husband and wife
I see my family in every line that I write
That one bloodline is where I find insight
That’s four in a home livin’ a life
Two headstrong boys and a husband and wife
I see my family in every line that I write
That one bloodline is where I find insight
