Exuma... You hear
We gotta take our time
Gettin´ this one started
Hey mamma soul mamma soul papa
Hey soul body soul body soul body
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey yah gonna take my time
Gettin´ this one togheter
Gonna take my time
Gettin´ this one togheter
Gotta go home now
Gotta go home yea
You know about the holy roller church?
Ain´t that were it started?
Ha Ha I know
We´ve outgrown it now
And I cry that I think that I can´t do
I like money yah
I like fine clothes
I like all of it
But I know where my roots are
You hear me

Sometimes my daughter says
"Mamma I don´t understand them people"
I don´t either, but I´m fond of ´em
And I like it
Say hey hey
Need your help, hey hey
Cool down now, hey hey

Obeah woman
Yes, I´m the Obeah woman
Do you know what one is?
Ha do you know what an Obeah woman is?
I´m the Obeah woman from beneath the sea
To get to satan you gotta pass through me
´Cause I know the angels name by name
I can eat thunder and drink the rain
Been through enough
Yeah they call me Nita and Pices too
There ain´t nothing that I can´t do
If I choose to, if you let me

Ha I´m the Obeah woman, above pain
I can eat thunder and drink the rain
I kiss the moon and hug the sun
And call the spirits and make ´em run
You hear me?
You hear me?
´Cause I ain´t praying, never was
Just waiting for my time
Waiting for to die
Hackle and patience
Hackle and patience oh yeah

Obeah now
Obeah Obeah now
I´m the Obeah woman from beneath the sea
To get to satan baby you gotta pass through me
I know the angels name by name
I can eat thunder and drink the rain
How you think I lasted this long?
Alright, alright
I kiss the moon and hug the sun
O yeah oh well oh well
You people from the islands
Know about the Obeah woman
I didn´t put the name on myself
And I don´t like it
Sometimes, but the weight is too heavy
The weight is too heavy
Let´ finish it
