Loyle Carner – Nobody Knows (Ladas Road)

Lyrics Nobody Knows (Ladas Road) – Loyle Carner

Nobody knows all the trouble I’ve seen
Nobody knows all the sorrow

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

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**k it up say reveal nothing
Guys I used to run with say they still puffin’
Yo what did they expect, 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

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

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 a*s 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

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

Glory, glory
Glory, glory hallelujah
Say it again
Glory
Say it to the lord
Glory
Mmm
Glory hallelujah…
