loyle carner - nobody knows (ladas road) lyrics

[intro: pastor t.l. barrett & the youth for christ choir]
n0body knows all the trouble i’ve seen
n0body knows all the sorrow

[chorus]
check
i told the black man he didn’t understand
i reached the white man he wouldn’t take my hand
i sat alone in the shadows of a man
with my eyes closed told myself i should’ve ran
i’m the boss and i’m supposed i had a plan
but can’t think till i figure who i am
are you lost or are you just another man
sittin’ in my sunshine tryna catch a tan
[verse 1]
listen outside i can feel the sun’s rain
i love it
inside i was bumping john wayne
made p’s you can never say the wrong name
adhd say my last one long game
and don’t f+ck it up say revеal nothing
guys i used to run with say they still puffin’
yo what did they еxpect, yo what did they expect
ayo i used to never think of the effect
when my dad passed straight biological neglect
the other one sunset sittin’ on the steps
i was left mom came heavy in her breath
tears on my face transferring to her chest
i was left and she would say he ain’t comin’
but i can tell him that you love him
and i would shout “nah love means nothing say i want a hug i wanna talk i want something”

[chorus]
see i reached the black man he wouldn’t take my hand
told the white man he didn’t understand
i sat alone in the shadows of a man
with my eyes closed told myself i should’ve ran
i’m the boss and i’m supposed i had a plan
but can’t think till i figure who i am
are you lost or are you just another man
sittin’ in my sunshine
[verse 2]
my eyes wide
tears cried
the news lied
but he died
so who am i?
ay yo i’m asking who am i?
because my kid will maybe have them blue eyes
and he will understand the pain that’s in mine
and late at night i wonder maybe that’s why
because i never wanna hear the same cry
from a kid who doesn’t fit in
to the world that he live
a half+caste just kiddin’
wear a mask just kiddin’
move ass just whip it
no sittin’
there’s no livin’
yo you can’t hate the roots of the tree
and not hate the tree
so how can i hate my father
without hating me

[chorus]
i told the black man he didn’t understand
i reached the white man he didn’t take my hand
i sat alone in the shadows of a man
with my eyes closed told myself i should’ve ran
i’m the boss and i’m supposed i had a plan
but can’t think till i figure who i am
are you lost or are you just another man
sittin’ in my sunshine tryna catch a tan
[outro: pastor t.l. barrett & the youth for christ choir]
glory, glory
glory, glory hallelujah
say it again
glory
say it to the lord
glory
mmm
glory hallelujah
