Nobody Knows (Ladas Road)

(альбом: hugo - 2022)

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 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
Sitting 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 peace, you can never say the wrong name
ADHD say my last one long game
And don't fuck it up, say reveal nothing
Guys I used to run with are steady still puffing
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, sitting 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 coming
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"

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 to've had a plan
But can't think till I figure who I am
Are you lost, or are you just another man
Sitting in my sunshine?

My eyes wide, tears cried
The news lied, but he died
So who 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 kidding
Wear a mask, just kidding, move arse, just whip it
Yeah, no sitting, there's no living
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?

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 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
Sitting in my sunshine tryna catch a tan? (Glory)

Glory (Glory)
Glory (Glory)
Glory, hallelujah (Say it again)
Glory (Say it to the Lord)
Glory (Mm)
Glory, hallelujah
