Shaking the Tree (O2 remix)

Lyrics

[Intro: Shaggy] Level 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, ha ha ha ha, yeah Leave it up right, leave it up right Shaggy Get it, get it right, right What I say, what I say, what I say Check it [Verse 1: Peter Gabriel] 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 [Refrain: Peter Gabriel] It's your day Woman's day It's your day A woman's day [Verse 2: Peter Gabriel] Turning the tide You are on the incoming wave Turning the tide Know 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 [Chorus: Youssou N'Dour, Shaggy] Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon We are shakin' the tree (They gotta be shakin', shakin', I tell you one more time) Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon We are shakin' the tree (Mmm hmm hmm hmm) [Rap: Shaggy] Changing faces in the strangest places Tastin' the fruits of our roots Ah ha ha ha ha ha All I gotta do is strive And try and stay alive Ald be content until the day that I arrive Is this really my imagination That I'm confronted with these altercations, yeah I guess I ain't got much to lose Life is what I choose [Refrain: Peter Gabriel] It's your day Woman's day It's your day A woman's day [Verse 3: Peter Gabriel] Changing your ways, changing those surrounding you Changing your ways, more than any man can do Open your heart, show him the anger and pain so you heal Mabe he's looking for his womanly side, let him feel' You have to be so strong And you do nothing wrong Nothing wrong at all We're gonna break it down We have to shake it down Shake it all around [Chorus: Youssou N'Dour and Shaggy] Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon We are shakin' the tree Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon We are shakin' the tree Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon We are shakin' the tree
