Loyle Carner
Heard ’Em Say (Radio 1's Piano Sessions)
[Verse 1: Loyle Carner]
Uh, for ten years I've been trying to write this song and its absurd
Everytime I sit down I can't put it into words
From the day you give me birth, day you say them baby birds
Day when I was praying, poppa' laying in the dirt
I been the worst, and I know I know, I know I know but my mothers been my saving grace, gave me space to grow
And they say it glows, when I be spraying out my flows, looking out into the rows and see my mother at my shows
Only one of those, uh, so one high is worth a hundred lows
And some of those, there's been a ton of those
We stick together through whatever, never run involved
Cause roof down, running bros as the summer blows, ch'yeah
Only my mother knows, only my mother knows

[Hook: Loyle Carner & Max Pope]
Uh, and I heard 'em say, nothings ever promised, tommorow today
Uh, but I heard 'em say, uh
Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today
Uh, But we'll a find a way
And nothing last forever but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

[Verse 2: Loyle Carner]
Uh, so I say I'm sorry for the swearing
Shit I know it gets a little overbearing
It's just the way you laugh, and I start to say I'm fast
Have you laughing out your arse 'till your ripping what I'm wearing
It's the stuff we're sharing, uh, the love we're holding, the way we stay together through whatever stuff we're told
And it's the way we're molded, compact, fully folded
Can't write about a night cause every single night's been golden
It's them priceless moments, spinning is the soul of spun
Uh, saying you know me like you know your son
Want little sister, but ended up with an older one
I know my mum, it's been true, the best thing about me is being you
It's being true, it's being you
[Hook: Loyle Carner & Max Pope]
Uh, and I heard 'em say, nothings ever promised, tomorrow today
Uh, but I heard 'em say, uh
Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today
Uh, But we'll a find a way
And nothing last forever but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

[Post-Hook: Max Pope]
With every worthless word we get more far away
And nothing's ever promised tomorrow today
And nothing last forever but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

[Outro]
