Sweet Marie Lyrics - Kardinal Offishall

[Kardinal Offishall] 

Sweet Marie 

CHORUS [Nicole Sinclair] 

So sweet so sweet so sweet 

Oh sweet Marie, Marie, Marie 

So sweet so sweet so sweet 

Oh come on, sweet Marie 

So sweet so sweet so sweet 

Yeah 

So sweet so sweet so sweet 

[Kardinal Offishall] 

Sweetest Marie, it is to thee that I dedicate 

Me, myself and I for all of eterni-tie 

Without you I wouldn't have made it this far, this far 

Tell me how to live right and how to live wrong too 

But it only made me stronger 

Wisest of wise enough, strongest of the strong 

Now who love what I see 

In life, before me, stands a headstrong woman 

Overworked and underpaid, stress ridden 

First class middle class person 

Type rehearsing of your values 

Made an easy path for me to be who I be (let's see) 

One half of my creation, 100% Jamaican 

50% T-dot, 50% not anything mentioned before 

But pure unadulterated love 

Even though sometimes I can't get down with your actions 

I'm passing that, for the positive things that I see in you 

Dedicated to the one sweet Marie 

CHORUS 

[Kardinal Offishall] 

Giving birth to a black man in this land 

Is similar to angels being placed in the palm of the devil's hand 

Corruption all around and surrounded by greed and lust 

And trust (trust), that you will appear when the sun 

But I am not one, all praises due to my mother 

I love my father too, but sweet Marie there ain't no other 

That show me more than you, how to stay out of the devil's reaches 

Pushing me to profit, rocking funky in peaches 

Society's leeches, teachers do yourself 

And all your sister's need, in pursuit of higher wealth 

Sweet Marie regardless of the treatment of your family 

Despite of what you don't have, you'll always have me 

'Cause me and you we're tight, you respect my life's path 

When I'm in a position, in those who deserve it feel the wrath 

Of disrespecting you, we have the highest principles of blood 

It runs thicker than water, but hurts 

That's when eye's blood, sweet Marie 

CHORUS 

[Kardinal Offishall] 

Staying at a friend's house, 'cause Hydro is not paid 

Suffering in the dead of winter left dreaming of a grave 

Or atleast someone to save, is the feelings I remember 

Cold play in the Shakespeare on the Holy in December 

Never lived in the ghetto but suffer the circumstance 

Circumstantial evidence reveals the nature of my residence 

My presence and present, is the love and strength of blackness 

Fibers of a genocide and presence during Mantis(?) 

Because of my Mom, I've experienced parts of life 

My nigga could not relate to, but whose to shay that it's for better 

Couldn't afford to buy me leather, but my body stayed warm 

Couldn't afford to buy me diamonds, but I still had charm 

She could afford to give me knowledge, and teach to speak truth 

She taught me black lies were white reali-tie 

Forever and a day gee, I will bleed for my family 

F-O-S brothers and the one sweet Marie 

CHORUS
