Second Rice

Make dem serve me second rice
(Second rice)
I no wan go this wedding end
(Wedding end)
The bridesmaid for table nine
(Table nine)
Second rice, I dey stay

I follow my guy come this wedding
I no sabi bride or groom
The canopy cold with fans
The jollof dey smell like promise
Then table nine arrest my eye
She dey correct the small children
Gele set like satellite
I forget wetin I come do

The MC dey talk
I no dey hear am
The MC dey talk
I dey hear table nine

Make dem serve me second rice
(Second rice)
(Wedding end)
(Table nine)
Second rice, I dey stay

I no wan go this wedding end
(Wedding end)
The bridesmaid for table nine
(Table nine)
Second rice, I dey stay

I volunteer to share drinks
Na so I reach her table
She ask which side I belong
I say the side of good jollof
She laugh, the gele shake small
Say I resemble hungry poet
The couple dance, money rain
I dance my way to table nine

Jollof!
(Second rice)
Jollof!

The canopy dey come down now
Chairs dey stack like pancake
She write her number for my palm
On top the party jollof oil
Best wedding of strangers

Dem don serve me second rice
(Second rice)
The wedding end but we never end
(We never end)
The bridesmaid from table nine
(Table nine)
Second rice, and she stay

Number for my palm
Second rice
