Lyrics

Can I just have some change for the bus

Can this ask be kept between the two of us

I'm in a little rush, the day is dawning to dusk

But I can no be here, my new location's a must


I go for work some days to the city, not to pity

My brother you know that life here can be shifty

My sisters all deserve to be uplifted

So me I travel for higher change, though it gets risky


With intuition I play the game of life by wishing

To sell what I have, at prices so I am always dishing

That when I'm out, I 180 my route, returning home

Happy with a pocket full, of what I made in my roam


This day though, yuh know I'm an honest intent

I did not force it, so my sales barely made a dent

Maybe where I stood in location was a little blurry

Regardless, I'm not coming home with a money flurry


Why I ask, can I have change for the bus

Because we learn and now I lean on you for trust

I will not badger, and I'm not here to fuss

But like the rain over my head is turning me into rust


Mmm, my friend, my person, compadre, my mate

I came in for an snack and now it seems a new fate

Even for me it's getting late, you see I'm on a date

And currently my currency ain't convert at highly rate


But yuh spoke to me, and said I had a holy vibe

You maybe see it in my eyes, and my body no lie

You know I try to live it high so my whole life comprise

Now when you approach me I'm not questioning why


To speak honestly, I sigh a bit inside

It's like I wish that I could give you your own ride

So you would never have to be in this place again

Determined and ethical, the vibe is reciprocal


Your bag is with security by the door

I'll give you the change there, just before

You sure that this money is just for the bus

Said it's for the bus, I'm a G, and that's the last of us


Can I just have some change for the bus

Can this ask be kept between the two of us

I'm in a little rush, the day is dawning to dusk

But I can no be here, my new location's a must


Only make me reflect on my own experience

With a friend, when our pockets were small and life intense

Yuh know our bus left down the road, we had our ticket

Spent with the last of what we had so we try hope on lucky cricket


I think that mine was strong because we got the bus to wait

Motor taxied the road until we stopped at the bus plates

But now the issue was paying the taxis for the rides

I must now confide my life, although it hurt inside


On the bus, I get on, ask anyone for change

All the people can see the motor taxi wait for pay

Now lady by the grace of God could see us in our pain

And all of us must get on our ways, so she paid, nuff said


Would you give any person change for the bus

Are we all not the same, how you discriminate trust

Yes, oh lust, we eye our own as we want to clone

We all want throne, huh, do yuh, Judah


I pray yuh make it home, after all, this is yuh home

I know the money make it seem like we all foreign alone

But I for am not a drone, my mind a see more shown

My eye believe in the power of we and so I be, so free


Can I just have some, uh

Can this ask be kept uh

I'm in a, uhhuh uh, uhhuh

But I can, uh, yuh yuh, yuh yuh
