Lyrics
[Intro]
I really wanna know right now
[Instrumental]
I know you wasn't around when I was slaving myself
Yet you sit back and relax and you took all the wealth
Is it material things you're running after?
Or is it praises that you're giving uno Rasta?
I really wanna know right now
[Verse 1]
I gave a hand onto the wicked but I give him it with caution
While I was giving love he was seeking for reaction, tell me
Is it material things you're running after?
Or is it praises that you're giving unto Rasta?
I really wanna know right now
Yes, I really wanna know right now, ah
Oh, Mister Wicked
[Instrumental]
I know you wasn't around when I was slaving myself, oh, gosh
Yet you sit back and relax and you took all the wealth
Is it material things you're running after?
Or is it praises you are giving unto Rasta?
Please, I really wanna know right now
Really wanna know right now
You put your trust in vanity
And forget about your liberty
But I really wanna know right now, ah
[Verse 2]
Now we get to understand
You are just a material man
And now we get to know right now, oh, mm
Really wanna know right now
Now we get to understand
That you're just a material man
Hey, Mister Wicked
Oh
