Sweat |
| Big booties, wide hips, sure, big booties, wide hips, sure |
| And big dicks, sure, big booties, wide hips, sure |
| '85, '86, sure, uh |
| Big booties, wide hips, sure, big booties, wide hips, sure |
| , sure, big booties, wide hips, sure (Mm-hmm) |
| Big booties, wide hips, sure, and big dicks, sure (Mm-mm) |
| Ziva muntoyo |
| Muntoyo |
| Ziva muntoyo |
| Naye ta tu se (Mm-hmm) |
| Ziva muntoyo (Ohh) |
| Muntoyo |
| Ziva muntoyo |
| Naye ta tu se |
| Uh, now in the dark, when the night’s wild, you could hear her cry |
| Couldn’t pee inside, she went out back near the outhouse |
| Take to find strength in the pride, fuck what they talkin' 'bout |
| Skin like Jesus burnin' in fire, |
| She make a mean pie, sweet potato, well-polished silverware |
| Stitch the hem on Ms. Phyllis' gowns, keep the sheets white |
| High heat over a beach towel, on her feet for hours |
| Breastfeedin' baby 'sleep now (sh), uh |
| She keep her head bowed, trained to lower her gaze, smile |
| And Caulder was never her name, child |
| Granddaughter of the slave name since the days of the big house |
| Flat hand under the serving tray, now when they sit down |
| Retreat to the corner, she grin, become smaller |
| Watch from the world of invisible men, and shrink more low |
| To disappear behind yes men and blank stares |
| Hear «nigga"s fallin' from thin lips land in tense air |
| Ziva muntoyo (Muntoyo, oh) |
| Muntoyo (Muntoyo) |
| Ziva muntoyo (Oh, muntoyo) |
| Naye ta tu se (Naye ta tu se-ay-ay-ya-ay-ay-yay oh) |
| Ziva muntoyo |
| Muntoyo |
| Ziva muntoyo (Muntoyo) |
| Naye ta tu se (Naye ta tu se, tu, tu se) |
| When she alone, she say her name just to hear it called |
| Answer herself in third person, Raqueletta Moss |
| Ms. Hattie May Hines with a wide long line of blue workers, Lord |
| Mother of four, they cross town with they own, can’t visit |
| But twice a month when she leave 'em, the way the baby boy |
| Cry till he pass out, dash to block the front door |
| Grab her apron, try to hold on for just a moment more |
| Plead for a place in her arms, Mama gotta sweep floors |
| She hear the heartbreak loudest, the screams down the corridor |
| Shards of glass cut deep, haunt like a repeated chorus |
| When the bills due, it’s never enough |
| She peeked when Phyllis lost her ring on the floor, yeah |
| Sent her daughter to pawn it that morning at the school up north |
| Organised a search party though it never turned up |
| Little bubba’s shoes lost, same size as Hattie middle boy |
| Kicks always a few inch short of a serving boy’s |
| Ziva muntoyo (Ziva muntoyo-oh-oh-oh) |
| Muntoyo (Muntoyo,) |
| Ziva muntoyo () |
| Naye ta tu se (Yeah, ziva muntoyo) |
| Ziva muntoyo () |
| Muntoyo (Oh, muntoyo) |
| Ziva muntoyo (Muntoyo, oh) |
| Naye ta tu se (Naye ta tu se, ta tu se, ta tu se-ay-ay) |
| She smile but don’t mean it, master of all secrets |
| All-seeing eye from the blind spot, it’s their weakness |
| Know how to grind glass, make it pass off as seasoning |
| Rumors of witchcraft, she laughed with all teeth in |
| Herbs for every task, from murder to high fever |
| Who heard it when he grabbed and raped her that evening? |
| He strangle till she shake, fingers breakin', givin' way from the staircase |
| (Hey-hey-ay-ay) |
| (Same hand stroked Phyllis' face while sleeping) |
| Said she cleaned this cracker’s porch Thursdays, quarter to four |
| Kids know to walk behind but never wave, now up in New York |
| Make sure they clothes, pants pressed |
| Wool pleats grey starched and hard creased |
| Skin half sweat, half vaseline |
| Ms. Phyllis bragged to her people, laughed till she cried |
| Say a maid loyal and meek, trustworthy for a nigga |
| Negro colored girl,, when her husband died (Yeah) |
| Sudden, out the blue, what’s her name? |
| time (Ayy-ah) |
| Ziva muntoyo (ba ta na sanwa) |
| Muntoyo (Ba ta na sanwa) (Ah) |
| Ziva muntoyo (ba ta na sanwa) (Ziva muntoyo-oh-oh-oh, yeah) |
| Naye ta tu se (Ba ta na sanwa) |
| Ziva muntoyo (ba ta na sanwa) (Ziva muntoyo, muntoyo) |
| Muntoyo (Ba ta na sanwa) (Ohh) |
| Ziva muntoyo (ba ta na sanwa) (Ziva muntoyo, ay) |
| Naye ta tu se (Ba ta na sanwa) (Naye ta tu se-hey, yeah) |
| Ba ta na sanwa |
| '85, '86, sure, uh (Ba ta na sanwa) (Oh, ba ta na sanwa) |
| Big booties, wide hips, sure, big booties, wide hips, sure () (Uh, uh, |
| tu ba ta na sanwa) |
| , sure, big booties, wide hips, sure () (Uh, uh, ba ta na sanwa, ba ta na sanwa) |
| Big booties, wide hips, sure, and big dicks, sure (Ba ta na sanwa) |
