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 bullshit´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
