My favourite Ras Kimono song is Gimme likkle Sugar. So when I was combing the internet this morning, I discovered i cant find the lyrics anywhere, so I took it upon myself to do one. Below is what I came up with. Except the asterisk words, which I am not too sure. Enjoy


Gimme likkle sugar by Ras Kimono

Yesss man
Oh see them coming see them lying
Political fusion
Oh see them looting
Police are shooting Innocent people
Oh what a pity in our we city kwe (2x)

Chorus
So Gimme likkle sugar for me tea
Me no wan no cake kwe
Gimme Likkle sugar for me tea
Me no wan no cake kwe

Mass unemployment dey everywhere
Unemployed graduates roaming the street
This world is full of shit
Oh what a smelly shit

Chorus

Empty promises fi the masses
*(naija serial)* follow colonial master
Peasant working and paying taxes
The money disappearing with no traces

Chorus

See them flying pon (upon) the sky
While I and I walk upon the land
Still they want I and I dead
Cos of I and I dready head

Who will, who will me no wan no cake
She will, Who will, who no wan no cake
She will who will
2 times
Lord ooo

Ends.


*Not sure of those two words.
