Tikya the Blackheart Man, children
|
I say, don't go near him
|
Tikya the Blackheart Man children
|
For even lions fear him (repeat)
|
|
Growing in a neighbourhood for such along time
|
That is filled with fear
|
I can't go here, can't go there
|
And I ain't supposed to go anywhere
|
When I ask my Mom if she could let me go out and play
|
She said be careful of the stranger
|
Giving candies to children
|
And then take them away
|
|
He lives in the gullies of the city
|
He's the Blackheart Man (The blackheart Man)
|
|
Even in the lonely parts of the country
|
He's the Blackheart Man, Blackheart Man
|
Got no friend, no home, no family
|
He's the Blackheart 'Man, The Blackheart Man
|
He is famed to live just like the Gypsy
|
He's the Blackheart 'Man, The Blackheart Man
|
|
Growing and learning and gathering, for myself a little more
|
experience jumping over the fence
|
Curiousity has brought me yes it's brought me, a little common-sense
|
Trodding the road of life, I've come to this one conclusion
|
That everything is equal under the sun, all that is createdby JAH mighty hand
|
And he said knock and it shall be opened
|
Seek and Ye shall find that wisdom is found in the simplest of places,
|
In the nick of time, knock and it shall be opened
|
Seek and ye shall find that wisdom is found in the simplest of places, in the nick of
|
time and now I trod the same road of aflictions just like the
|
Blackheart Man, just like the Blackheart Man
|
Getting my share of humiliation just like the Blackheart Man
|
Just like the Blackheart Man
|
You'll find me even in the prison of the dungeons
|
just like the Blackheart Man, just like the the Blackheart Man
|
I even get blamed without a reason just like the Blackheart Man
|
Just like the Blackheart man yau
|
|
No cross, no crown, no sorrow, no trial and crosses In-a-I way
|
But the hotter the battle is the sweeter JAH JAH victory
|
Ancient children use to say if you want good
|
Your nose got to run run run
|
How could the world go free, and let JAH bear the cross alone
|
And them that drink of the old wine hath no place for the new
|
For the new and the stones that are head of the corner are the
|
same one that the builders refused
|
Now, it's the Blackheart Man, children
|
Who've become the wonder of the city (rep).
