Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They say that I reign too long
Forgetting that me constitution is strong
Instead of respecting me long, long reign
They making plot to take down me name
[Verse 2]
I 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
[Verse 3]
They say that I reign too long
Forgetting that me constitution is strong
Instead of respecting me long, long reign
They making plot to take down me name
[Verse 4]
Everywhere I reign supreme
The one and only Calypso queen
No man alive or dead, cruel man
Come and take me crown off me head
[Verse 5]
Them foolish and petty man
I don't worry 'bout them
They been trying to take me down
But to the end, I retain me crown
[Verse 6]
They say that I reign too long
Forgetting that me constitution is strong
Instead of respecting me long, long reign
They making plot to take down me name
[Verse 7]
They used to call me small island girl
Now I travel the world
Anywhere they go they know
I am Calypso Rose queen of calypso
[Verse 8]
I am a daughter of a warrior
No time to rest or retire
Others have come and gone
But Calypso Rose is still singing on
[Verse 9]
They say that I reign too long
Forgetting that me constitution is strong
Instead of respecting me long, long reign
They making plot to take down me name
