Ottolenghi

I was sat upon the train, starin' out the window at the rain

Aye, I heard this little lady must have 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 stunning growth"

Close, ah, to everything and nothing

Picture past the honeymoon, I'm bluffing

Where the wooden spoon is only cuffing

Shorter the discussion but the roots can't maneuver out of nothing

I've been suffering these dreamy days, ah

Remedy and lust don't hold any memories of us

Rather hold you every day 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

Uh, they ask about the Bible I was readin'

Told 'em that the title was misleadin'

Labelled it "Jerusalem," but really it's for cookin' Middle East

And I could see your mind was changing with the seasons

Shady for a reason, ah, day will start decreasin'

Leavin' like the orange in the evenin'

It was creepin' through the clouds, but now I'm proud to see the images releasin'

I just wish the little lady could have seen it

But she was dreamin', ah

Reckon she's standing with her mum, saying to her

"Look mother, here's the sun," rooted in the moment till 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 tellin' 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

Life can be bad, it can turn bad in a second

So remember, what I'm tryin' to show you

This life can be good one minute

And next minute, it can turn bad

So don't look down on nobody

'Cause that's how life can turn for everybody

So remember, it's love everybody

And I'm gonna look for that for mine, thank you
