Guest List

My name dey the guest list now
Guest list
Same gate wey I dey wash car
Wash car
Gateman salute, I salute back
Salute back
Guest list, but I no forget

Ay, we in
Guest list
Ay, we in
Guest list

Twenty-nineteen I dey outside
This same venue, this same night
I dey wash motor for the car park
Dey hear the party through the wall
The bass been dey reach us in pieces
We dance to the pieces anyway
Me and the other car park boys
Rich for dreams, broke for pocket

Music used to reach in pieces
Now the whole song mine
Same wall, other side now
But my ear still dey outside

My name dey the guest list now
Guest list
Same gate wey I dey wash car
Wash car
Gateman salute, I salute back
Salute back
Guest list, but I no forget

I see one boy for the car park
Rag for shoulder, hunger for eye
I send am plate through the waiter
Full plate, meat make e reach
The waiter say who send am
Make him just point the window
Any window, na all of us
Send am from the other side

The bass full and clear tonight
No more pieces through the wall
But I dey listen for the car park
The boy raise the plate like toast
I raise my glass back through the glass

My name dey the guest list now
Guest list
Same gate wey I dey wash car
Wash car
Gateman salute, I salute back
Salute back
Guest list, my head still dey there
Still dey there

Plate raised like toast
Guest list
