(+) Loyle Carner - Ottolenghi (Official Video) Ft. Jordan Rakei
I was sat up on the train
Staring out the window
at the rain (aye)
I heard this little lady
must've felt the pain
ask her mum if the blazing
sun'll ever shine again
I felt ashamed feel the same
not her mother though
Nah, started to laugh
got her son involved (aye)
Mention the past like a running joke
And told her 'without all the rain
there's no stunning growth'
Close, ah
To everything and nothing
Picture past the honeymoon
and bluffing
Where the wooden spoon
is only cuffing
Shorter the discussion but the roots
can't manoeuvre out of nothing
I've been suffering
these dreamy days (ah)
Remedy and lust don't hold
any memories of us
Rather hold you everyday
until the memories are dust
Yo we only caught the train
cause you know I hate the bus
Never get enough
Born and raised
Made attempts to crawl away
Find a way to exist
and hide your face some relate
Leave everything in yesterday
(Aye) They ask about
the bible I was reading
Told them that the title
was misleading labelled it Jerusalem
but really its for
cooking Middle-Eastern
I could see your mind was
changing with the seasons
shady for a reason (ah)
They will start decreasing,
leaving like the orange
in the evening
It was creeping through
the clouds but now I'm proud
to see the images releasing
I just wish the little lady
could've seen it
but she was dreaming (ah)
Reckon she's standing
with her mum saying to her 'look,
mother here's the sun'
rooted in the moment
til the memories are done
So I sit and start
to wonder on the woman she'll become
Wonder if I'll have
a son or a daughter,
ones that I brought up
never strong never telling me to run
Never tried to find a sum,
tryna get it done yo I wonder
if she'll ever be
as clever as her mum, one
Born and raised
Made attempts to crawl away
Find a way to exist and
hide your face some relate
Leave everything in yesterday
Born and raised
Made attempts to crawl away
Find a way to exist and
hide your face some relate
Leave everything in yesterday
Life can be bad,
it can turn bad in a second
So remember what
I'm tryna show you this life
can be good one minute
and next minute it can turn bad
So don't look down on nobody
coz that's how life
can turn for everybody
So remember its love everybody
and I'm gonna look for
that for my babe
Thank you
