It Is Finished

Tony mckay

Oh dambala come dambala
Oh dambala come dambala
Think of the wings of a three toed frog
Eat weeds from the deepest part of sea
Oh dambala come dambala
Oh dambala come dambala

On the seventh day god will be there
On the seventh night satan will be there
On the seventh day god will be there
On the seventh night satan will be there

You slavers will know
What its like to be a slave
Slave to your heart
Slave to your soul
Oh dambala come dambala
Oh dambala come dambala

You slavers will know what its
Like to be a slave
Slave to your mind
Slave to your race
You won't go to heaven
You won't go to hell
You remain in your graves
With the stench and the smell
Oh dambala come dambala
Oh dambala come dambala

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?

'cause i ain't praying, never was
Just waiting for my time
Waiting for to die
Hackle and patience
Hackle and patience oh yeah

To get to satan baby you gotta pass through me

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

I did'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

I want a little sugar
In my bowl
I want a little sweetness
Down in my soul
I could stand some lovin'
Oh so bad
Feel so lonely and i feel so sad

I want a little steam
On my clothes
Maybe i could fix things up
So they'll go
Whatsa matter daddy
Come on, save my soul
Drop a little sugar in my bowl
I ain't foolin'
Drop a little sugar in my bowl

Well i want a little sugar
In my bowl
Well i want a little sweetness
Down in my soul
You been acting strangely
I've been told
Move me daddy
I want some sugar in my bowl
I want a little steam
On my clothes
Maybe i can fix things up so they'll go
Whatsa matter daddy
Come on save my soul
Drop a little sugar in my bowl
I ain't foolin'
Drop some sugar- yeah- in my bowl.
