(Spoken Intro) Mama said she dreamed the city burning before she ever held me. Funny thing about prophecies... they don't ask the baby. --- Verse 1 Born with smoke inside my name, Before I spoke they knew the blame. Left to mountains, left alone, Raised by mercy not a throne. Then heaven knocked without a sound, Three forever's standing round. One wanted glory, one a crown, One just smiled and wrote me down. --- Pre-Chorus Tell me, how's a mortal supposed to know Which "no" saves a kingdom... and which one starts a war? --- Chorus Divine problems... Every answer breaks a heart. Divine problems... Tear a whole wide world apart. Mama saw tomorrow, I only saw tonight. One man's queen, One woman's tears, And gods that called it right. These divine... Divine problems. --- Verse 2 (Rap) Now everybody say my name like I lit the match, Like I built the ships, put the armor on their backs. I was just a shepherd caught in celestial games, Every goddess smiling while they whispered my name. She looked like sunrise walking over the sea, Never asked if that sunrise belonged to me. Back home another heart still waited by the stream, Real love don't compete with an impossible dream. --- Pre-Chorus When heaven makes promises, Somebody always pays. --- Chorus Divine problems... Every blessing wears a chain. Divine problems... Every kiss invites the rain. Mama saw tomorrow, I only saw her eyes. Now the walls are falling, And everybody asks me why. --- Bridge I ran from prophecy... Straight into it. I chose desire... Desire chose me. The gods got legends. The people got graves. History needed a villain... So history used my face. --- Final Chorus Divine problems... Can't outrun what's written down. Divine problems... Every halo hides a crown. If love was my sentence, Then let heaven testify. I wasn't born to save the world... I was born where beautiful things go to die. (Spoken Outro) Tell the poets I was many things... But don't tell them the gods were innocent.
