The Begging Game

Written by: Lenny Deneb

Have you seen the woman sitting outside

the shops on Clarke Street?

All day long she sits there even in the midday heat

Can you spare some change, her life to rearrange

She's been down here for so long

yet she's managed to stay strong

Chorus

It's a crying shame

We're having to play

the begging game (repeat)

Tell me sir do you believe in justice for all

Yes I know you do 'cause when the rain is falling

As you sit there big bout ya in your Lexus

Spare a thought for the rest of us oh Mr. Big Boss

Chorus

Technological advancement, yet it's still a mystery

How some people still live in misery

The next millennium approaches yet she still fights

off the 'roaches

Spare a thought for those who live in fear

stalkers marching up the rear

Chorus

The young man of colour believed in life everlasting

Even while on his body they were brutally beating, pain inflicting

Lost souls retreating to an uncertain future

Son you better call on your God if it's saving that you're looking for

Chorus
