This lyric contains biblical references. Click here to show the references.
I say, don't go near him
Tikya the Blackheart Man children
For even lions fear him
Tikya the Blackheart Man, children
I say, don't go near him
Tikya the Blackheart Man children
For even lions fear him
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 (anywhere at all)
When I ask my mom if she could let me, go out and play
Like the children do
She said be careful of the stranger
Giving candies to children
And then take them away, yeah
He lives in the gullies of the city
He's the Blackheart Man ya (the blackheart Man)
Even in the lonely parts of the country
He's the Blackheart Man ya, Blackheart Man
He ain't got no friend, no home, no family
He's the Blackheart Man, that's the Blackheart Man
He is famed to live just like the Gypsy
He's the Blackheart Man, yeah
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 yeah
Trodding the road of life, I've come to, this one conclusion
That everything is equal under the sun
All that is created by Jah mighty hand, yeah
Ecclesiastes 8:17; Eccles. 12:13-14
And he said knock and it shall be opened
Seek and ye shall find that wisdom is found in the simplest of places
Matthew 7:7-8; Luke 11:9-10
In the nick of time, knock and it shall be opened
Seek and ye shall find, 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, (the Blackheart Man)
You'll find me even in the prison of the dungeons
just like the Blackheart Man yes, 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 laughter, trial and crosses In-a-I way
But the hotter the battle, is the sweeter, Jah Jah victory, oh weh
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
John 19:17
And them that drink of the old wine, hath no place, for the new
Matthew 9:17; Mark 2:22; Luke 5:37
For the new, and the stones that are head of the corner are the same ones
That the builders refused
Psalm 118:22; Matthew 21:42; Mark 12:10; Luke 20:17; Acts 4:11; 1 Peter 2:7
Hear me when I say now
It's the Blackheart Man, children
