Lyrics
Your father's old Peugeot is still rusting in the drive.
The night before the election, feels like 2005.
I count the new cracks in my face, a map of where I've been.
You touch my jaw and ask if I'm still the man within.
[Chorus]
Adeola, tell me true, after all this weather,
If they replace the wood and stone, is the house still together?
[Verse 2]
The cold harmattan dust still settles on the sill.
You said, "Your hands are different, but your silence is still."
Every brick I had to lay for my five brothers' sake
Replaced a boy you knew with a man about to break.
[Chorus]
Adeola, you see true, through all this bitter weather.
You say you know the wood and stone, you hold the house together.
[Bridge]
They took the roof, the door, the floor, the memory of the frame.
But the ground it was built on, you still call it by its name.
[Chorus]
Adeola, you are true, you are my only weather.
You are the blueprint and the stone, you hold this house forever.
[Outro]
Counting the beats... one, two...
The foundation settles.
