Sugar cane Lyrics by Les Nubians

Princesses Nubiennes

1998

[Intro]
Now let me tell you something
It's all about my own thing
Now I know what's sweet
I know what is sweet as sugar cane
[Verse 1]
History takes me back to the basement of our culture
I can't hide myself anymore
Beneath this so-called disguise of civilized men
The sands of time is what I've been made with
The hand of the past may help to lay back relax, relax
If we check it now
And what you've got to do is just take care of
That inner black beauty that shines through
Your mela, mela, melanin tone
And take care of everything you got visible and invisible
For not so long ago they didn't love none of us
At all, at all, at all, at all
[Chorus]
Now let me tell you something
It's all about my own thing
Now I know what's sweet
I know what is sweet as sugar cane
Now let me tell you something
It's all about my own thing
Now I know what's sweet
I know what is sweet as sugar cane
[Verse 2]
And the promises they made
At the times of struggle and fight must provide
You know, changes in your mind
For life is for the Lord
And all praises are for the Lord, the Lord, the Lord, the Lord
So descending from the
Tribe of Atkaptah will have to
Reminisce and unify on strong
So don't go dreamin' on the edge of their land
Oh no! No! You'll go flyin' high, you'll go too high
And now for the rest, let's remind the pledge:
Each time you'll taste the fruit of the cane
Don't forget the whip, the field, their sweat
[Chorus]
Now let me tell you something
It's all about my own thing
Now I know what's sweet
I know what is sweet as sugar cane
Now let me tell you something
It's all about my own thing
Now I know what's sweet
I know what is sweet as sugar cane
Now let me tell you something
It's all about my own thing
Now I know what's sweet
I know what is sweet as sugar cane
