Repaint

I go repaint the parlor
(Repaint)
Cover the green wey you choose
(Wey you choose)
Two coats from door to window
(Door to window)
Repaint, then I go rest

Roll am!
(Repaint)
Roll am!
(Repaint)

The paint man ask me which colour
I stand there like exam hall
Three years I dey look this green
E don enter all my photos
I buy white like hospital
Buy roller, buy turpentine
Move the sofa to the middle
Cover am like small funeral

One wall today
One wall tomorrow
One wall today
One wall tomorrow

I go repaint the parlor
(Repaint)
Cover the green wey you choose
(Wey you choose)
Two coats from door to window
(Door to window)
Repaint, then I go rest

First stroke feel like confession
The green dey show through small
My guy come help on Saturday
Him no query me anything
We paint and play old highlife
Drink malt on newspaper by the door
By evening one wall don white
I sleep for sofa, paint for my arm

Last corner by the window
One small green island remain
I look am one full minute
Then I roll am white like the rest
The room hold him breath, then breathe

I don repaint the parlor
(Repaint)
Cover the green wey you choose
(Wey you choose)
Two coats from door to window
(Finally hide)
Repaint, and now I rest

Paint for my arm
Repaint
