Concrete Bloom

[Chorus]
We go build am on nothing
Make the foundation strong
Dem no fit tell us nothing
Watch the concrete bloom

[Verse 1]
Four-seventeen AM, the balcony rail still cold from the night.
My phone screen dey stare back, the signal bar get no light.
This Surulere silence, e loud pass the generator hum.
I feel your hand on my shoulder, you whisper before I come undone.

[Chorus]
We go build am on nothing
Make the foundation strong
Dem no fit tell us nothing
Watch the concrete bloom

[Verse 2]
Your voice low, you tell me, "Femi, look me for eye."
"This scaffolding we raise, e high pass their own sky."
"No be their blueprint, no be the name wey dey for their gate."
"Na our own floorplan this, we dey redesign our own fate."

[Bridge]
You find my hand in the dark, press a new key to my palm.
"For the door we go build," you say, "to keep out the harm."

[Chorus]
We go build am on nothing
Make the foundation strong
Dem no fit tell us nothing
Watch the concrete bloom

[Outro]
Yeah... watch the concrete bloom...
