Circle Overhead

[Verse 1]
Circle overhead bridge, back in '19, the heat was a weight
Dust dey choke for throat before the rain fall, I dey wait for my fate
A welder's torch flash bright, blind my eye, then I see am clear
Your queen, my brother Kofi's world, in another man's Benz, she no get fear.
My phone feel like stone inside my hand.

[Chorus]
We build the house so high (so high, so high)
On top foundation of a lie (one lie, one lie)
Now the paint fresh but the wall go crack inside
And the whole thing go fall from the sky (from the sky).

[Verse 2]
Next day for Jamestown, we dey watch boys train, gloves dey pop like corn
Kofi laugh, say 'chale, I go marry Ama before the year is born.'
My tongue be dry cement, the words dey stick, I just nod my head
Remember her voice, sweet like palm wine, "he be my cousin from Kumasi side," she said.
And I help them pour the concrete over the dread.

[Chorus]
We build the house so high (so high, so high)
On top foundation of a lie (one lie, one lie)
Now the paint fresh but the wall go crack inside
And the whole thing go fall from the sky (from the sky).

[Bridge]
Now I see your children playing, sunlight for their face
You built a whole life on that empty space.
The scaffolding is down, the building stands up tall
But me, I still dey wait for the fall.

[Outro]
(fall from the sky...)
(one lie...)
