Words
Verse 1
Your box weighed twenty-three, so we removed the shoes
Mummy hid two wraps of garri where they no go look
The taxi came at two, the bridge was empty and long
Third Mainland at that hour dey quiet like a church
You kept checking your pocket for a passport wey dey there
Nonso, I never see your hand shake since we were small
Chorus
Go well, my brother, the road don open for you
Wear the big coat, that cold no be like our own
Send me the address when you finally get a door
So I go know which sky to look at when I dey alone
Verse 2
Mummy said she was fine, then she sat inside the car
She waved with her whole arm like you dey go to war
I carried the empty box back up into your room
Your slippers still dey there, still facing the door
I no move them, I no fit move them yet
The room dey too correct now, the room dey too clean
Chorus
Go well, my brother, the road don open for you
Wear the big coat, that cold no be like our own
Send me the address when you finally get a door
So I go know which sky to look at when I dey alone
Outro
Send me the address, Nonso
Even if na one line, even if na room number
I go write am for the back of my hand
So my hand go know where you dey
