Nobody Knows - live from the Royal Albert Hall lyrics

[Loyle Carner]
Yeah man, f*ck the Tories man

[Chorus]
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 to've had a plan
But can't think till I figure who I am
Are you lost, huh? 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 peace, you can never say the wrong name
ADHD say my last one long game
And don't f*ck it up, say reveal nothing
Guys I used to run with are steady still puffin'
But what did they expect, yo, what did they expect?
Ayo, I never used to 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'
Ah, 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: Loyle Carner]
See, I reached the Black man, he didn't understand
Told 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 to've 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 the f*ck am I?
Ayo, I'm asking, who am I?
Because my kid will maybe have them blue eyes
And he won't 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 in, a half-caste, just kiddin'
Wear a mask, just kiddin', move arse, just whip it
Yeah, no sittin', there's no livin'
Ayo, 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: Loyle Carner]
I told the Black man he didn't understand
I reached the white man, he wouldn't take my hand
Sat alone in the shadows of a man
With my eyes closed, told myself I should've ran
I'm the f*cking boss, I'm supposed to've 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)

[Outro]
Glory
Glory
Sitting in my sunshine
Sitting in my sunshine
How brave is tour brave?
How deep is tour grave?
