Mr. Wicked Man Know Yourself

[Intro]
Oh yeah
Know yourself, know yourself, know yourself, wicked man
Time is the master, faith is the peacer

[Verse]
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

[Outro]
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
