I'm begging you a 10 cents
But there is

I'm begging you a 5 cents
Don't you see there is
Work to do

Give a Likkle ancients

Nuh lef it pon mi conscience

By your sweat you ago reap
Just know theres

Nuh bull-buck and duppy conqueror
Idlers caan come stay over yah

Nuh drugs head caan
Caan come harbor ya

I got some work fi you do
Say you got to

Work it out

Work to do

Take you pon a job core

Stay a back-a-yard
No thank you
Learn a trade and all a skill
Cause there is
Work to do

Nuh bull-buck and duppy conqueror
Idlers caan come stay over yah
Nuh drugs head caan
Caan come harbor ya
I got some work fi you do
Said you got to

Work it out

Work it out
Said you got to
Work it out

Work it out


But see deh now
You said that time did tuff
Me see you wear
Whole heap a foreign stuff
No bother come
Beg out the shop and trust
For all you do is
Walk up and dung and cuss

Nuh bull-buck and duppy conqueror
Idlers caan come stay over yah
Nuh drugs head caan
Caan come harbor ya
I got some work fi you do
Said you got

Work it out
I know you got to
Work it out
Said you got to
Work it out
I know you got to
Work it out
Said you got to
