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).
