lyrics

(Intro)
Sun wind or rain
When up the sun came They had to forget their pain And cut that sugarcane
(Chorus)
Down low on chopping dat sugar cane Metropole know none how sugar made (4x)
(Verse 1)
Bushel to a barrel
That’s 4 point 5
Create demand
And control the supply
They need sugar for the pastries The cake and the pie
Somethin’ sweet
To make the suffer of the days Past by
The chef can’t cook that
If we don’t cut that
And if we leave some slack Then the whip say crack
And that ain’t sweet yo
Cause we still people
Not beasts
In the field so you can have Your sweets yo
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
Swingin’ sweatin’ choppin’ cause we gotsta
And they don’t care
If it gets more hotter Machete fa chop
And Make the cut more proper We call it karma
You can call it slaughter
Mais, s’il vous plaît
Coup sucre to burrow You can let peace go Or let free sweets go Oh you up taxin’ Takin the max and We up rise
And Then you re-up taxin’
(Chorus)
