Wicked Act Songtext
von Black Uhuru

What a wicked act (wicked act)
They trying to break my back (break my back)
Oh what a wicked act (wicked act)
They trying to break my back (break my back)

I must entertain
Make sure it′s not going in vain
If I don't make social comment
You take no profit
That means nothing left

Your wealth is lavish
They put me deep down inside a gutter

Oh what a wicked act (wicked act)
They trying to break my back (break my back)
Oh what a wicked act (wicked act)
They trying to break my back (break my back)


African should not be slaves
In South Africa
Let the Japs cover Japan
Let Americans go pon America
Europeans stay in Europe
Africa rule Africa
And the whole world dreadlocks

Oh, Hey

Oh what a wicked act (wicked act)
They trying to break my back (break my back)
Oh what a wicked act (wicked act)
I′m in a very tight spot (very tight spot)

That's is all I ask
It shouldn't be a big task

This place will be what it is to be
When boundaries are respected
The poverty of the poor
Is the rich man′s feast

Oh what a wicked act (wicked act)
They trying to break my back (break my back)
Oh what a wicked act (wicked act)
They trying to break my back (break my back)


Hit me in sport, and then fire shot
You lick me first
You lick me first
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Our demand
Must be accepted
How long can you hold on to I and I?
Oftentimes I′ve been carried away
By men
But you slowly losing power
Each and every hour
Hanging I is a few colours
Of importance to His Majesty

Oh what a wicked act (wicked act)
They trying to break my back (break my back)
Oh what a wicked act (wicked act)
I'm in a very tight spot (a very tight spot)
Oh what a wicked act (wicked act)
They trying to break my back (break my back)
Oh what a wicked act (wicked act)
I′m in a very tight spot (a very tight spot)
