Lyrics
You take the Falomo roundabout, quarter-past-one
The Benz leather cold from the air-con you turn on
Another Tuesday, you tell yourself it's just a drive
To survey the foundations you had to leave to survive.
[Chorus]
Perimeter check, you just dey do

Perimeter check, this lock ain't for your key
Omo, who you dey build this thing for, if not for family?
[Verse 2]
There's a light in the study, same one he always leaves on
You trace the stress fracture where the trust has been and gone

Omo, who you dey build this thing for, if not for family?
[Bridge]
And the world ends quiet, just the hum of the tire on the tar
Is this the answer to every prayer she whispered from afar?
[Outro]
One more look at the gate...
Then you accelerate.
