Tierney Terrace - Loyle Carner[00:00:00]
Written by:Loyle Carner[00:00:00]
Uh I keep my ear to the door holding my brother close[00:00:19]
He knows I love him most[00:00:22]
My heart beating I can feel it from his f**king pulse[00:00:23]
Seeing my mother rose froze love of something slows[00:00:26]
Woes decompose muddy clothes and a runny nose[00:00:28]
Flows we're shivering she mistakes it for giggling[00:00:31]
Mother quivering hopping out the seat that she's sitting in[00:00:33]
Living in the last few weeks keeping it diligent[00:00:36]
It's calm under my arm I be popping the ritalin[00:00:38]
To keep it smooth[00:00:41]
Self medicating to keep me loose[00:00:42]
I needed proof needed see it to believe it's true[00:00:44]
I needed you but you're the one that I was grieving to[00:00:46]
And now you're leaving[00:00:48]
Deep in the evening that we were sleeping through[00:00:49]
So what are we to do but move with the setting sun[00:00:51]
Uh you know I love you like a second mum[00:00:54]
Love you for better from now 'til whenever[00:00:56]
Want the family together I promise you 'imma get it done[00:00:58]
Trust 'cos all I wanted was a f**king man[00:01:01]
To tell the f**king truth hold my f**king hand[00:01:04]
Uh to guide me through the darkness when the others ran[00:01:07]
Instead he was sliding and slipping I didn't understand[00:01:09]
I didn't understand stand didn't understand[00:01:12]
Uh now every time that motherf**ker ran[00:01:14]
I didn't understand stand didn't understand[00:01:17]
Uh 'cos every afternoon after school[00:01:21]
Or at 5 30 if it was after basketball[00:01:23]
They'd be waiting up at the gate with an article[00:01:26]
They picked up on the way down[00:01:28]
And read it to me the second we were leaving the playground[00:01:29]
That grey sound never stop until we're forced to stop[00:01:32]
Corner shop buying fruit and veg nah of course we're not[00:01:34]
Just a couple steady snacks for the journey heading back[00:01:37]
Full of the sugar so our teeth yes of course they rot[00:01:40]
Sit for hours sun thunderstorm or showers[00:01:42]
In that same living room watching the bloom turn to flowers[00:01:45]
The night was ours[00:01:47]
Superpowers and all[00:01:48]
We were zapping out the window and watching the cowards fall[00:01:50]
Had it all[00:01:52]
Powerful making me tower tall[00:01:53]
Bountiful from something so small[00:01:55]
So I'd rather take the fall and brawl[00:01:58]
Before I drowned in what I found so cruel[00:02:00]
Sitting and sipping whiskey like my grandad did[00:02:12]
Trying to like the life that my grandad lived[00:02:15]
'Cos when the black man slipped into the darkness[00:02:17]
And the black man dipped[00:02:19]
It didn't matter had that love I left my grandad with[00:02:20]
Sip brandy like my grandma do[00:02:23]
Trying to like the life that my nan told true[00:02:25]
'Cos if I run from you she'd hold my hands[00:02:27]
Until my hands turn blue[00:02:29]
So I pursue the new thinking 'bout the man they grew because[00:02:30]
Trust 'cos all I wanted was a f**king man[00:02:33]
To tell the f**king truth hold my f**king hand[00:02:36]
Uh to guide me through the darkness when the others ran[00:02:39]
Instead he was sliding and slipping I didn't understand[00:02:41]
I didn't understand stand didn't understand[00:02:43]
Uh now every time that motherf**ker ran[00:02:46]
I didn't understand stand didn't understand[00:02:49]
Trust 'cos all I wanted was a f**king man[00:02:52]
Trust 'cos all I wanted was a f**king man[00:02:54]
To tell the f**king truth hold my f**king hand[00:02:56]
Uh to guide me through the darkness when the others ran[00:02:59]
Instead he was sliding and slipping I didn't understand[00:03:01]
I didn't understand stand didn't understand[00:03:04]
Uh now every time that motherf**ker ran[00:03:07]
I didn't understand stand didn't understand[00:03:09]
Uh now believe me I need a f**king man[00:03:12]
