Material Man - Gregory Isaacs

I know you wasn’t around

When I was slaving myself

Yet you seat 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 on to Rasta?

I really wanna know right now

I gave a hand onto the wicked

But I give him it with caution

Well, 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 on to Rasta?

I really wanna know right now

Yes, I really wanna know right now

Oh mister wicked

I know you wasn’t around

When I was slaving myself, oh gosh

Yet you seat back and relax

And you took all the wealth

Is it material things you’re running after

Or is it praises you are giving on to Rasta, please?

I really wanna know right now

Really wanna know right now

You put Jah trust in vanity

And forget about your liberty

But I really wanna know right now

Now we get to understand

You are just a material man

And now we get to know right now

Really wanna know right now

Now we get to understand

That you’re just a material man

Hey, mister wicked
