We're in the homestretch of the hard times
We took a hard left, but we're alright
You were born to lose, but you put up a fight
Yeah, life sure can try to put love through it, but
We built this right, so nothing's ever gonna move it
When the bones are good, the rest don't matter
Yeah, the paint could peel, the glass could shatter
Let it rain 'cause you and I remain the same
When the bones are good, the rest don't matter
Let the haters talk, it's all just chatter
I got on base, was just a hit batter
I'm ready to score because one hit matters
I like the structure of things, the bones are good
It's a nice house, even if its in the hood
When the bones are good, the rest don't matter
Yeah, the paint could peel, the glass could shatter
Let it rain 'cause you and I remain the same
When there ain't a crack in the foundation
I can seal up the cracks
I can fend off the personal attacks [Psalm 35}
My game is tight, I can get you back right
I can make you the center of attention
Make your name something that everyone mentions
I can work on causation and prevention
I can reverse time for you
Rebuild the house, make it look new
The future let me introduce it to you
I can start with the bones, they are good
Bones are good, the rest, the rest don't matter (baby, it don't really matter)
Paint could peel, the glass could shatter (oh, the glass, oh, the glass could shatter)
Bones are good, the rest, the rest don't matter (ooh)
Paint could peel, the glass, the glass could shatter (yeah)
When the bones are good, the rest don't matter
Yeah, the paint could peel, the glass could shatter
Let it rain (let it rain, let it rain)
'Cause you and I remain the same (woo)
When there ain't a crack in the foundation (woo)
Baby, I know any storm we're facing
Will blow right over while we stay put
The house don't fall when the bones are good
