Wanted Man lyrics

I'm a wanted, wanted man

I'm a wanted, wanted man

I'm on the run...

They say I'm a threat to their society

'Cause I stand for love and justice, sincerity

The price on my head is getting, higher every day

But I say, oh Lord, thank you, alhamdulillah

They don't know where I stay... and that's why

I'm a wanted, wanted man

I'm a wanted, wanted man

I'm on the run...

I said that I never, never did no wrong

But they wanna cut me down, 'cause I'm strong, strong, strong

I stand for truths and rights and this they don't like

So they want to cut me down to get me

Clean out of sight... but they can't, so

I'm a wanted, wanted man

I'm a wanted, wanted man

I'm a wanted, wanted man

I'm a wanted, wanted man

I'm on the run...

They say I'm a threat to their society

'Cause I stand for love and justice, sincerity

Truth is my defence and it's no sin

To some it's an offence, that's how I win

And that's how I'm a wanted, wanted man

Yes, I'm a wanted, wanted man, but I stand for what I believe

And what I believe in is truths and rights

Truths and rights, truths and rights
