Big up now, want fi come forward enuh, but hold on
Why make me show you something
Right about now, rent off the piercing, because oh
Hey, you fi do your thing and gwaan, me no love the way yah galang bad
Why? A could you, fi know how fi chat tuff enuh but like
Up deh, alright, come down
Please don't say sorry
Presuming a respect for what you say
If in your heart you mean it
Then you'll understand me feeling
You must prove it; sign the cheque without delay
Most humbly yours, 400 years back pay
(One time)
I'm begging Charity (I'm begging Charity)
From you or the things I see (from you or the things I see)
Give me what belongs to me
Give me what belongs to me
Just don't say sorry
As if that can excuse this tyranny
No value in your talking
Money speaks and bullshit's walking
Round in circles re-inventing history
Trying to erase our memory
I'm not begging Charity
From you or the things I see
Give me what belongs to me
Give me what belongs to me
If you say sorry
Can I assume you've realised the shame
The seeds of your oppression
Fall and ripen with aggression
You can't hold us any longer with your chains
Time to compensate us for our claims
I'm not begging Charity
From you or the things I see
Give me what belongs to me
Give me what belongs to me
