lyrics

At Abelemkpe I stood in line

With a paper cup and a folded dime

You said my order like you’d known me long

Two sugars, black, and I said you were strong

You counted the spoon on the saucer plate

Read my face before I could even wait

One small smile and the room felt light

Like you saved my name from the day’s first bite

You know my cup

You know my cup

You know my cup

You know my cup

You know my cup (hey)

By Adum market, the kettle steamed

You took my note like it was neatly seen

Tin cup tapping on the zinc-top tray

You kept my order from the very first day

You said the lid on tight, the foam just thin

And the brown mug stain on your thumb and skin

I heard your laugh above the grinder sound

And my hard day settled right back down

You know my cup

You know my cup

You know my cup

You know my cup

You know my cup (hey)

Now when I pass, you lift your chin

One glance and you are already in

No written list, no second guess

Just your small hand and my same request

You know my cup

You know my cup

You know my cup

You know my cup

You know my cup (hey)
