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, four hundred years back pay

(chorus)

I`m not begging charity
Don`t confuse the things I say
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 bulls**t`s walking
Round in circles re-inventing history
Trying to erase our memory


(chorus)

I`m not begging .....etc


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


Don`t bother wi` no sorry
Don`t bother wi` delay
A four hundred years
Is not just the other day

I`m not begging charity
Don`t confuse up your mind
Payment overdue
Fe a long long time

You come a we gate
No bother hesitate
You tek away we tings
Like a damn pirate
