Ini Kamoze - Pirate

Pirate, pirate, pirate, pi

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 you 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, the old pirate, pirate, pi

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

Pirate, the old pirate, pirate, yeah, pi

(..)

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 your silver grey
You wanted me to sing
It's a lucky thing I am a strong man
Or I would loose me sting

Pirate, the old pirate, pirate, yeah, pi

Said 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 you 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, the old pirate, pi
Pirate, pirate, the old pirate, pi

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

Pirate, pirate, hey, the old pirate, pi
Pirate, pirate, pirate, pi
