“Clipper Crown” lyrics

Clipper crown for my head
Clipper crown
Street kings on the plastic chair
Plastic chair
Generator dey hum all night
All night
Clipper crown, na so we reign

Street kings
Ay
Street kings
Ay

Barber shop at half past eleven
Clipper dey buzz, NEPA don take light
Boys dey share one bottle of Fanta
Ade dey count him day money for sock
The danfo conductor still dey shout
Oshodi, Oshodi, last one
We laugh, the generator dey cough
The whole street go quiet small

NEPA go take light again
NEPA go take light again
We go still dey here
We go still dey here

Clipper crown for my head
Clipper crown
Street kings on the plastic chair
Plastic chair
Generator dey hum all night
All night
Clipper crown, na so we reign

My mama sell tomato for the corner
Twenty years, the same wooden table
She warn me say, dem boys no well
But na dem dey greet her for the road
I buy her one umbrella for the rain
Red one, the market woman price am high
She open am inside the shop and laugh
Say her pikin na king for this road

Rain wash the gutter clean
Plastic chair still dey wet
Clipper cold inside my hand
One light bulb dey swing
Nobody dey shout my name
So I barb the small boy free

Clipper crown for my head
Clipper crown
Street kings on the plastic chair
Plastic chair
Generator dey hum all night
All night
Clipper crown, na so we reign
Street kings, street kings

Plastic chair
Light bulb dey swing
