You know about the holy roller church? 
Ain't that were it started? 
Ha ha i know 
We've outgrown it now 
And i cry that i think that i can't do 
I like money yah 
I like fine clothes 
I like all of it 
But i know where my roots are 
You hear me 
 
Sometimes my daughter says 
"mamma i don't understand them people" 
I don't either, but i'm fond of 'em 
And i like it 
Say hey hey 
Need your help, hey hey 
Cool down now, hey hey 
 
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? 
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 
 
Obeah now 
Obeah obeah now 
I'm the obeah woman from beneath the sea 
To get to satan baby you gotta pass through me 
I know the angels name by name 
I can eat thunder and drink the rain 
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 
Know about the obeah woman 
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
