Wicked man (a dub poem)


Wicked man ah com gunnin thru di streets
Lookin' fu victims dat hem caan smother wit heat
Wicked man ah cum runnin thru di streets
Waitin' fu victims dat hem caan proudly beat


Warnin' look out here coms dah wicked man
Inna his hart hem carry'n Babylon plans
Hem ah com to fu' yuh soul to tek an raid
To cut yuh frum yuh soul like a machete blade
Hem a wicked man, hem wu'k his evil tricks
An mek yuh act crazy like a dog wit ticks


Wicked man ah com gunnin thru di streets
Lookin' fu victims dat hem caan smotha wit heat
Wicked man ah com runnin thru di streets
Waitin' fu victims dat hem caan proudly beat


Warnin' watch out fu di wicked wen hem appears
Hem will hypnotize yuh wit hem evil glares an stares
My brethren met di wicked man along di way
An now hem eyes been shut frum seein' another day
There's a war gywne on in Babylon, a real ugly war
Africans have been dyin' an still are on these shores


Wicked man ah com gunnin thru di streets
Lookin' fu victims dat hem caan smotha wit heat
Wicked man ah com runnin thru di streets
Waitin' fu victims dat hem caan proudly beat


Mi sistren scribe what wickedness hem fi do, an hem seh
I'm gywne collect souls fu mi master everyday
An hem walk thru di ghetto flashin' hem gun
Shootin' in di air to cuz dah youth to run fu fun
Long time mi ah tell dem, dem never tek di warnin'
Til dem gwaan to another youth's funeral fu mournin'


Wicked man ah com gunnin thru di streets
Lookin' fu victims dat hem caan smotha wit heat
Wicked man ah com runnin thru di streets
Waitin' fu victims dat hem caan proudly beat
