Dillinger - Mr. Wicked Man Know Yourself lyrics
[Dillinger - Mr. Wicked Man Know Yourself lyrics]
Oh yeah
Know yourself, know yourself, know yourself
Wicked man
Time is the master, faith is the peacer
Tell you 'bout time
Tell you, say that time is di master
Tell you, no weakheart can prosper
Though what a disaster these
Two men are after
One of dem run down dead an'
One of dem a rr-rosper (yeah)
Tell you, say that faith make you wait
When I man say wait
I don't mean heavyweight nor welterweight
I mean wait to be impatient, baby
Say, I would tell you 'bout the sound
Weh keep you rocking on the track
An' then the little youth, you really
Turn your back, I tell you
Baby girl they say all who a deal with folly
Works an' fornication works
Dem bound fi get a jerk up at Dunkirk
Tell you when eye no see, heart no leap
Know dis-a trick to look before you leap
Before you drive your jeep
Want to go see, hear that
You never gonna see yourself until
Your back against the wall
But some might rise an' some will fall
But some of dem will never
Know themself until dem
Back against the wall that are ten feet tall
Righteousness exalted the nation
But still now who approach onto any
Nation will bow down to Babylon
I tell you one time then
Come make mi tell you
Make mi tell you two time then
And I'm-a tell you
I'm-a tell you three time then
Come on-a down an' let me
Tell you four time then
Wicked man, you got to know yourself
Because you fall from off the shelf
And I would tell you behave yourself
Wicked man, got to know yourself
In a dis ya tribulation, tribulation
Rain a fall but dutty tuff
An' that's no bluff
Canna ma-wee, na-kah na, na-kah na
Na-kah na Scatting well, watch out, man
Well, whether you are young
Or whether you're old
Got to get together, let di good time roll
And you give mi just another soul
To make you be bold then you know?
Whether you're sick or whether you're sad
I will surely make you musically glad
So don't be bad then
All now who deal with fornication
They shall really go down with Babylon
'Cause Babylon got to fall
Natty dread on di ball
Di dread is the fairest of dem
All so don't you stall
Just get on di ball then
Come make mi tell you
Said-a seek him 'round all day
Come make mi tell you
Said no bother you grumble
You better live, you better try an' be humble
'Cause if no humble, you must have to stumble
You know, and don't you fumble
Know yourself, know yourself, know yourself
Wicked man
Time is the master, faith is the peacer
Tell you 'bout time
Tell you, say that time is di master
Tell you, no weakheart can prosper
Though what a disaster these
