Homerton

Lyrics

[Chorus: JNR Williams & Olivia Dean] Nights like this, nights like this I know that they will treat you well Hide your smile, but I can always tell In pain, there'll be glory [Verse: Loyle Carner] Yes 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 & Olivia Dean] Nights like this I know that they will treat you well Hide your smile but I can always tell In pain, there'll be glory [Post-Chorus: Loyle Carner, JNR Williams & Olivia Dean] If you're bad, then do it, 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) 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) [Outro] 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
