Calypso Queen (Mo Laudi Remix) Lyrics

They say that I reign too long
Forgetting that my constitution is strong
Instead of respecting my long long reign
They making plot to take down my name

I've been breaking down walls
Ever since I was small
They could stand up tall and strong
Like a wrecking ball I go knock them down

They say that I reign too long
Forgetting that my constitution is strong
Instead of respecting my long long reign
They making plot to take down my name

Everywhere I reign supreme
The one and only calypso queen
No man alive or dead
Could come and take the crown of my head

Them foolish and petty men
I don't worry 'bout them
They've been trying to take me down
But to the end I retain my crown

They say that I reign too long
Forgetting that my constitution is strong
Instead of respecting my long long reign
They making plot to take down my name

They used to call me small island girl
Now I travel the world
Everywhere the go they know
I am calypso rose queen of calypso

I am the daughter of the warrior
No time to rest or retire
Others have come and gone
But calypso rose is still singing on

They say that I reign too long
Forgetting that my constitution is strong
Instead of respecting my long long reign
They making plot to take down my name

McArtha Lewis, better known as Calypso Rose (born April 27, 1940 in Bethel, Tobago) is a Tobagonian calypsonian.

Named after the American general Douglas MacArthur, Rose's earliest years were a crowded environment - 19 people in a one-bedroom house. When she was 9, she moved to live with an uncle in Barataria

She began writing songs at the age of 15, and has written over 800 songs. In 1966 she wrote the song Fire in Me Wire, which has since become a calypso anthem. Rose was the first female to win the Trinidad Road March Competition, in 1977 with her song Tempo. She won the Calypso Queen title five years running. She has also won both the Trinidad Calypso Crown and Road March competitions in 1978, the Sunshine Award in 1989 and the Trinidad and Tobago Hummingbird Medal in 2000. Read more on Last.fm.
