Level, level, level off, level off
Level off, yeah
I gotta shake the tree, gotta shake the tree
Let 'em know, let 'em know, let 'em know
Ah-ha-ha-ha, yeah
Give it up right, give it up right
Shug it
Give it up right
What I say, what I say, what I say
Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life
Waiting your time, you're more than just a wife
Don't have to do what your mother has done, she has done
This is your life, this new life has begun
It's your day
Woman's day
It's your day
Woman's day
Turning the tide, feel around the incoming wave
Turning the tide, no, you are nobody's slave
Find your sisters and brothers who
Can hear all the truth in what you say
They can support you when you're on your way
It's your day
Woman's day
It's your day
Woman's day
Suma yogo, sunu yogo
We are shaking the tree
ย
Suma yogo, sunu yogo
We are shaking the tree
ย
Changing faces in the strangest places
Tasting the fruits of our roots, ah-ha-ha-ha-ha
Is this just a dรฉjร vu?
Or tell me, is this really true?
Hit me like a puzzle, I ain't got a clue
Is this really my imagination
That I'm confronted with these altercations? Yeah
Gotta shake the tree, gotta shake the tree
Gotta shake the tree, gotta shake the tree
Well, leave it up to me
Suma yogo, sunu yogo
We are shaking the tree
You gotta be shaking
Shake it, shake it
I'll tell you one more time
Suma yogo, sunu yogo
We are shaking the tree
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm
ย
There's nothing to gain when there's nothing to be lost
There's nothing to gain if you stay behind your counter cost
Make a decision, you can be who you can be, you can be
Tasting the fruit, come to the liberty tree
ย
It's your day
It's your day
ย
Changing your ways, changing those surrounding you
Changing your ways, it's more than any man can do
Find your brothers and sisters who
Can hear all the truth in what you say
They can support you when you're on your way
It's your day
It's your day
It's your day
ย
We're gonna break it down
We have to shake it down
Shake it all around
Suma yogo, sunu yogo
We are shaking the tree
I gotta shake the tree now
Yeah, that's alright
Suma yogo, sunu yogo
We are shaking the tree
Irie, man, irie, irie, irie
Suma yogo, sunu yogo
We are shaking the tree
ย
Suma yogo, sunu yogo
We are shaking the tree
