Nobody Knows (Ladas Road) Lyrics

[00:00.68] (Nobody knows all the trouble I've seen)
[00:11.30] (Nobody knows all the sorrow)
[00:20.00] Check, I told the black man, he didn't understand
[00:23.10] I reached the white man, he wouldn't take my hand
[00:25.62] I sat alone in the shadows of a man
[00:27.70] With my eyes closed, told myself I should've ran
[00:30.78] I'm the boss and I'm supposed to have the plan
[00:33.21] But can't think 'til I figure who I am
[00:35.74] Are you lost? Uh, or are you just another man?
[00:38.37] Sittin' in my sunshine tryna catch a tan
[00:41.11] Listen outside I can feel the sun's rain
[00:44.24] I love it, inside I was bumping John Wayne
[00:46.60] Made P's, you can never say the wrong name
[00:49.05] ADHD say my last one long game
[00:51.75] And don't fuck it up say reveal nothing
[00:54.36] Guys I used to run with say they still puffin'
[00:56.78] But what did they expect? Yo, what did they expect?
[00:59.30] Ayy, yo, I used to never think of the effect
[01:01.83] When my dad passed straight biological neglect
[01:04.45] The other one sunset sittin' on the steps
[01:06.97] I was left, mom came heavy in her breath
[01:09.54] Tears on my face transferring to her chest
[01:12.06] I was left and she would say he ain't comin'
[01:14.92] Uh, but I can tell him that you love him
[01:17.79] And I would shout, "Nah, love means nothing"
[01:20.04] Say I want a hug I wanna talk I want something
[01:22.72] See, I reached the black man, he wouldn't take my hand
[01:25.60] Told the white man, he didn't understand
[01:28.07] I sat alone in the shadows of a man
[01:30.44] With my eyes closed, told myself I should've ran
[01:32.93] I'm the boss and I'm supposed to have the plan
[01:35.97] But can't think 'til I figure who I am
[01:38.14] Are you lost? (Lost) or are you just another man?
[01:40.94] Sittin' in my sunshine
[01:44.01] My eyes wide, tears cried
[01:46.56] The news lied, but he died
[01:48.97] So who am I?
[01:52.24] Ay, yo, I'm asking who am I?
[01:54.26] Because my kid will maybe have them blue eyes
[01:56.86] And he will understand the pain that's in mine
[01:59.57] And late at night I wonder maybe that's why
[02:01.86] Because I never wanna hear the same cry
[02:04.33] From a kid who doesn't fit in
[02:06.22] To the world that he live in
[02:08.08] A half-caste just kiddin'
[02:09.56] Wear a mask just kiddin'
[02:10.82] Move ass just whip it
[02:12.20] Yeah, no sittin', there's no livin'
[02:15.14] Ayy, yo, you can't hate the roots of the tree
[02:18.61] And not hate the tree
[02:21.03] So how can I hate my father
[02:23.79] Without hating me?
[02:25.55] I told the black man, he didn't understand
[02:28.30] Reached the white man, he wouldn't take my hand
[02:30.70] Sat alone in the shadows of a man
[02:33.02] With my eyes closed, told myself I should've ran
[02:35.69] I'm the boss and I'm supposed to have the plan
[02:38.44] But can't think 'til I figure who I am
[02:40.87] Are you lost? Or are you just another man?
[02:43.57] Sittin' in my sunshine tryna catch a tan
[02:45.86] Glory (glory)
[02:48.58] Glory (glory)
[02:50.99] Glory (glory, hallelujah)
[02:55.51] Say it again
[02:57.37] (Glory) say it to the Lord
[03:00.04] (Glory) mmh
[03:02.99] Glory, hallelujah
