CHORUS [Nicole Sinclair]
5
So sweet so sweet so sweet
6
Oh sweet Marie, Marie, Marie
7
So sweet so sweet so sweet
8

9
So sweet so sweet so sweet
10

[Kardinal Offishall]
13
Sweetest Marie, it is to thee that I dedicate
14
Me, myself and I for all of eterni-tie
15
Without you I wouldn't have made it this far, this far
16
Tell me how to live right and how to live wrong too
17
But it only made me stronger
18
Wisest of wise enough, strongest of the strong
19
Now who love what I see
20
In life, before me, stands a headstrong woman
21
Overworked and underpaid, stress ridden
22
First class middle class person
23
Type rehearsing of your values
24
Made an easy path for me to be who I be (let's see)
25
One half of my creation, 100% Jamaican
26
50% T-dot, 50% not anything mentioned before
27
But pure unadulterated love
28
Even though sometimes I can't get down with your actions
29
I'm passing that, for the positive things that I see in you
30
Dedicated to the one sweet Marie
31
[CHORUS]
32
[Kardinal Offishall]
33
Giving birth to a black man in this land
34
Is similar to angels being placed in the palm of the devil's hand
35
Corruption all around and surrounded by greed and lust
36
And trust (trust), that you will appear when the sun
37
But I am not one, all praises due to my mother
38
I love my father too, but sweet Marie there ain't no other
39
That show me more than you, how to stay out of the devil's reaches
40
Pushing me to profit, rocking funky in peaches
41
Society's leeches, teachers do yourself
42
And all your sister's need, in pursuit of higher wealth
43
Sweet Marie regardless of the treatment of your family
44
Despite of what you don't have, you'll always have me
45
'Cause me and you we're tight, you respect my life's path
46
When I'm in a position, in those who deserve it feel the wrath
47
Of disrespecting you, we have the highest principles of blood
48
It runs thicker than water, but hurts
49
That's when eye's blood, sweet Marie
50
[CHORUS]
51
[Kardinal Offishall]
52
Staying at a friend's house, 'cause Hydro is not paid
53
Suffering in the dead of winter left dreaming of a grave
54
Or atleast someone to save, is the feelings I remember
55
Cold play in the Shakespeare on the Holy in December
56
Never lived in the ghetto but suffer the circumstance
57
Circumstantial evidence reveals the nature of my residence
58
My presence and present, is the love and strength of blackness
59
Fibers of a genocide and presence during Mantis(?)
60
Because of my Mom, I've experienced parts of life
61
My nigga could not relate to, but whose to shay that it's for better
62
Couldn't afford to buy me leather, but my body stayed warm
63
Couldn't afford to buy me diamonds, but I still had charm
64
She could afford to give me knowledge, and teach to speak truth
65
She taught me black lies were white reali-tie
66
Forever and a day gee, I will bleed for my family
67
F-O-S brothers and the one sweet Marie
68
[CHORUS]
