Menottes Menottes
And French boats
Bayonets plumes
And fancy coats
Far to go so keep a float
We gonna keep fighting with more than hope
Machete sharp for the heart and throat

Machete sharp for the heart and throat
Learn these words and chat this quote
Tirer machete, tirer machete
They gonna learn respect if not fear yet
Tirer machete, tirer machete
They gonna learn respect if not fear yet
Whether or not Toussaint is free
We hold the power and the liberty
Whether or not Toussaint is free
We hold the power and the Liberty
Our chief is gone
Great leader gone
Left with the shackles on
Cause he stood straight
But the coup still on
The coup still on
Our chief is gone
Great leader gone
Left with the shackles on
Cause he stood straight
But the coup still on
The coup still on
Pull the blade man
Choices made man
Cut the chains that
make us slaves man
Pull the blade man
Choices made man
They got plans
If we don't take a stand
Calculate the time of captivity
It take at least that to really get free
And the ones leading the way
Get hauled away
In a body bag
Or dragged by a French brigade
Or COINTELPRO or CIA
Or other parts of the state
With unknown names
Do it anyway, in your own way
Tire Machette
And blaze the way
Cause colonized generations
Is awaiting
A brand new path and forward thinking
Receive this love for the risk you takin'
And for the chains you breaking
Our chief is gone
Great leader gone
Left with the shackles on
Cause he stood straight
But the coup still on
The coup still on
Our chief is gone
Great leader gone
Left with the shackles on
Cause he stood straight
But the coup still on
The coup still on
