Homerton

Nights like this, nights like this
 I know that they will treat you well
 Hide your smile but I can always tell
 In pain, there'll be glory
 Yes
 I start to think about the legacy you left
 The young man who hasn't had his first breath
 For a mother who can handle my stress
 Even more, nothing less, put your hands on my chest
 And feel the beating of my heart, as the dark settles
 Pirouette through the past to the last petals, yeah
 The world loves me and loves me not
 Your heart the only other thing I got
 I start to think about the legacy I leave
 To the mother and the seed, to the people who believe
 Late at night, as I let the pen bleed
 To be the father with the magic up his sleeve
 From the roots, to the apple, to the tree
 Just another me, tryna fall further out of reach
 Another man bringing sand to the beach
 But take the lessons 'cause the sands she can teach
 Nights like this
 I know that they will treat you well
 Hide your smile but I can always tell
 In pain there'll be glory
 If you're bad, then do it, pull the trigger on me
 I miss my people, I know they miss hearing from me
 I know there'll be glory
 There better be glory
 (If you're bad then do it, pull the trigger on me)
 Nights like this
 Hide your smile but I can always tell
 (I miss my people, I know they miss hearing from me)
 In pain there'll be glory
 (In pain there'll be glory)
 My Dad told me this one thing and it's very true, he said, umm
 Sometimes, he said, umm
 The parents need their kids more than the kids need the parents
