Material Man Songtext
von Gregory Isaacs

I really wanna know right now

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 onto Rasta?
I really wanna know right now, oh

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 onto Rasta?
I really wanna know right now
Yes, I really wanna know right now, oh
Oh, mister wicked


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 onto 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, oh

Now we get to understand
You are just a material man
And now we get to know right now, oh, mmm
Really wanna know right now
Now we get to understand
That you're just a material man
Hey, mister wicked, oh
