Loyle Carner & Benjamin Zephaniah - hopefully Lyrics


Check, yeah

The Blue whale, aye
Tattooed on my arm
Keep you out of the light
Put your lips on my palm
Put your hand on my forehead
Fall asleep in your bed
Speak under your breath
But I hear what you all said

Used to be scared to be dead
Used to be scared to be undressed in the presence of less
Give her more my guess
Beautiful new red dress, I’m fully a mess
In the presence of—, yes
Of lust and life, letters of trusted times
Undefined, somehow you blow my mind

Hope in humankind, yeah
You give me hope in humankind
Hope, yeah, in human kind
Yeah, but are humans kind?

I don’t know but I hope so
I hope so but I don’t know
Some days that I can’t cope
Broke and I can’t get close, can’t get
In a chokehold, tryna let go of the things that I can’t control
Can’t get low, get back to the soul
Back to the guy that I know, yo
The smile that’s wide at shows
Light in the minds of those that I love and hold
Keeping the titles close, lights that guide me home
Yo, colour them sticks and stones, builder of bricks and bones
People that sleep in homes, ah, to each his own
Leave message that beeps and tones, I’m here, I’m grown
Been lost, been learned, been shown, been teachers long since flown, yeah
But you call my phone, uh, but you call my phone
And you blow my mind
Give me faith in humankind

Yeah, hope, yeah, in humankind
Yeah, you give me hope in humankind
Hope, yeah, in humankind
