Ini Kamoze - Pirate

Pirate, Pirate, Pirate

I don't wanna be friendly with a man
who would tell me one truth
and twenty lie
Who would try to break what I done make
Well I don't respect you guy
Now ya want to know how much we know
You, you, Gobble-the-Gook
Now you don't know that we done know
It's not the butler who did it
it's the cook

Pirate, Pirate, Pirate

And in ya law I'm an outlaw
My right is made you wrong
You take the meat and give
I man the bone
And said I should run along, boy
Then when I ask what's there for me
You say what will be will be
Now ya sitting down getting fat and round
Collecting me royalty

Pirate, Pirate, Pirate

From I was born they came along
and stole my navel string
In broad day light my birthright
was robbed by your king
Then everyday in ya silver grey
ya wanted me to sing
It's a lucky thing I am a strong man
or I would loose me sting

Pirate, Pirate, Pirate, P.I.

And now I know what ya wanna do
I won't do what you want me to
Cos to my own self I must be true
So away, away with you

Pirate, Pirate, Pirate, P.I.
