“Begging For Change” is a protest song of sorts that offers empathy for those who are less fortunate. “We feel that this has the potential to be a global anthem,” Billy says. “It doesn’t take much observation to perceive that the whole world is begging for change on so many levels. You don’t have to be a genius or scientist to discern what’s happening. Shemekia Copeland did a fantastic job helping out with this.”
