Loyle Carner - Stars & Shards lyrics

[Verse 1] I used to know this n***a Sonny Who was ironically dark Never consumed by the money But selling dro in the park Became a main habit of his, bagging the piff Corner copy is copying the man he was blacker than piff It wasn't simple Simpler than the previous maturity Was lacking it He was never mischievous Devious was closer Only relevant if leaving us He was too afraid so he stayed for us to believe in trust Honesty was the commodity he never possessed Never the less Manipulate a woman beating his chest Reaping his stress Sneaking a breath We can a**ess Hear the pitter patter listen and latter Weeping to d**h Without a shoulder to cry on No one left to rely on He was followed by some men in black Like the belt of Orion In the report Said he was caught dead in the snort And was shredded He never even embedded the thought [Hook] Stars and shards of gla** will harm if they meddle Stars and shards of gla** will harm if they meddle Stars and shards of gla** will harm if they meddle Stars and shards of gla** will harm if they meddle [Verse 2] So let me start from the beginning I'll pad the middle with simple Cutest of the children always displaying a dimple Never talking out of line or defined as he fought the vine But an awkward spine left him severed over single Proud in the corridors A wrong in yours While the janitor was mopping floors He was dropping who*es on all fours Left her begging for a reason Treason left him cold Never froze for an evening But the body heat never seemed to keep his body sweet On another meat Looking for another blond to beat Now the streets became his mistresses Turning his witness Cuz when a weak spits You don't know who be holding hit list Switch shift He's stumbling on the war path who*es bark Meditating up in the raw dark For more dark He's knowing That's when the war starts Cutting more lines than disabled kids Up in thrope park [Hook] Stars and shards of gla** will harm if they meddle Stars and Shards of gla** will harm if they meddle Stars and Shards of gla** will harm if they meddle Stars and Shards of gla** will harm if they meddle [Verse 3] So I said the life that you're living Don't seem to be making sense Shaking pence out the cookie jar Looking hook on the bends Loosing friends Rookie he spends All of his tens On the little bit of leaf That'll leave him stuck in the ends He started to shot Loosing the plot Itching his scrot Little street corner Located droping his crop Others would watch Smother the block Under the spot Til' he found himself Surrounded by brothers robbing his gwap Didn't seem to be the average type Caught a badge in sight Coppers turning foxes And it just wasn't the rabbits night He wasn't known for just a couple of minutes Scrolling through his phone Trying to bell a couple of digits But Nobody would answer Chancer took his last chance At a glance in the drug deal stance And now he Dance with the devil In the park by the treble Stars and Shards of gla** will harm if they meddle [Hook] Stars and Shards of gla** will harm if they meddle Stars and Shards of gla** will harm if they meddle Stars and Shards of gla** will harm if they meddle Stars and Shards of gla** will harm if they meddle
