Ottolenghi - Loyle Carner/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 stuntin' 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
They ask about the bible I was reading
Told them that the title was misleading
Labelled it jerusalem
But really it's 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
