Chorus
Maata, maata, mataa
Maayayata
Maata tuee-Maata puee-Maata fish
Maata tuee tuee-Maata puee puee-Maata Fish

Verse 1
In this time, in this time
In this Iwah, in this Iwah
Jah love I, Jah love I
And Jah bless I, Jah bless I
In this crisis, in this crises

Brother Maata Tuee, Maata Puee, Maata Fish
Maata Tuee-Tuee, Maata Puee-Puee, Maata Fish
Wuoh wuoh…

Way back in the late seventies
Maata delivered I from the lion’s den
I went for three days without food and water
Like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
Were put in the fire but never get burned
Man was delivered from the hungry lion

Maata Tuee, Maata Puee, Maata Fish
Maata Tuee Tuee, Maata Puee Puee, Maata Fish
Maata Maata, Maata Maata, Maata Maata
Maata Tuee Tuee, Maata Puee Puee, Maata Fish

Repeat Chorus

Verse 2
I remember the good old times we’ve had before
I really cherish dem golden moments
When you hear my music playing Maata
Please try and get in touch with I
You can yahoo dot com I on shashamarleyATyahooDOTcom
Please Maata try to get in touch, oh Maata
Maata, I miss you so get in touch
From Ghana to Australia
Ghana to Papua New Guinea
Ghana to the New Zealand
Miles and miles of empty space in between us

Maata Maata, Maata Maata, Maata Maata
Maata Maata, Maata Maata, Maata Maata
Maata Tuee, Maata Puee, Maata Fish
Maata Tuee-Tuee, Maata Puee-Puee, Maata Fish

Repeat Chorus 2x

Tuee-Puee-Fish
Tuee-Puee-Fish
Tuee-Puee-Fish
Tuee-Puee-Fish

maayayata? mayE ayE ayE a, ta?

is this guy saying what I think he is saying? Talking about flatulence. 'Ta' is to fart in Twi, and when he says Maata tuee tuee, maata puee puee, maata fish, it leaves a lot to be desired.
Anyway, what does Shasha care? The kids are singing along and the radios are playing it.

LOL! My one and only Mr Amua-Seky can't be serious koraa!

U know how he was acting all serious in the Maata Family video like he was looking for some real Maata Family be koraa.

Haha haha hahahaha, only he will be tracking down an ''eta'' he ''taa-ed'' way back in the late 70s with an sms and da likes...the cheek of it...the impudence(not in an angry manner tho)

I just love his, kinda, no-nonsense approach to his music with some ''ns3mfoo ara kwa'' edge to it too..like ''Brother Maata Tuee, Maata Puee, Maata Fish(Fush).''

I love Shasha regardless and I hope to meet him someday.
