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
