Homerton - live from the Royal Albert Hall

Lyrics

[Loyle Carner] Make some noise for JNR Williams one more time man This songs called Homerton 'cause my son was born 17 November 2020 at Homerton hospital, he's 3 already! [Chorus: JNR Williams and (Loyle Carner)] Nights like this, nights like this I know that they will treat you well (Uh) Hide your smile but I can always tell (Always, always, always tell) In pain, there'll be glory [Verse: Loyle Carner] I start to think about the legacy you left The young man who hasn't had his first breath For a mother who can handle my stress Even more, nothing less, put your hands on my chest And feel the beating of my heart, as the dark settles Pirouette through the past to the last petals, yeah The world loves me and loves me not Your heart the only other thing I got I start to think about the legacy I leave To the mother and the seed, to the people who believe Late at night, as I let the pen bleed To be the father with the magic up his sleeve From the roots, to the apple, to the tree Just another me, tryna fall further out of reach Another man bringing sand to the beach But take the lessons 'cause the sands she can teach [Chorus: JNR Williams and (Loyle Carner)] Nights like this (nights like this) I know that they will treat you well (well) Hide your smile but I can always tell (I can always always always always tell) In pain, there'll be glory, glory, ah oh [Post-Chorus: Loyle Carner, JNR Williams] If you're bad, then do it, pull the trigger on me Pull the trigger on me I miss my people, I know they miss hearing from me I know there'll be glory There better be glory (If you're bad then do it, pull the trigger on me) Pull the trigger on me Nights like this Hide your smile but I can always tell (I miss my people, I know they miss hearing from me) In pain, there'll be glory (In pain, there'll be glory) [Loyle Carner] (make some noise for Raf one more time man) [Bridge] My Dad told me this one thing and it's very true, he said, umm Sometimes, he said, umm The parents need their kids more than the kids need the parents Yeah, If you're bad, then do it, pull the trigger on me I miss my people, I know they miss hearing from me Yeah, send me off into the other side I, wouldn't mind a little time with the ones who died Right, cause I'll be coming back eventually My mother said its meant to be, then its meant to be! Another night I spent my money on this therapy Instead of you thats getting me, lemme set you free From this little life you lead with the bag and tent I found this life that was heaven sent Yeah, I know the words they can never meant For me, still it hit me deep, I can see the dear It's the memory, the only guessing is the recipe I was telling you, he was telling me Close your eyes, forget about all this And mix the acki with the saltfish its nights like this Its nights like this [Chorus: JNR Williams] I know that they will treat you well Hide your smile but I can always tell In pain, there'll be glory In pain, there'll glory [Loyle Carner] Make some noise for JNR Williams one mo' time We did it [Piano Outro]
