Lyrics

[Refrain]
I thought it would be better
Now I'm a branded hot stepper
[Verse 1]
If I am guilty, Lord God
Then I will pay
Now I'm a victim
By the words men say
And now I'm wanted
There's a price on my head, so I, so I
Said I'm a wanted
But Jah won't let the wicked capture I, no way
[Verse 2]
If I get crucial
Along the way
'Cause men has been brutal
By the games they play
And cause me to be wanted
There's a price on my head so I, so I
Said I'm a wanted
But Jah won't let the wicked capture I, no way
[Refrain]
I know things will be better
Though I'm a branded hot stepper
[Verse 3]
If I get wearied
Why step in the way?
I will get over
'Cause it's a game men play
But now I'm wanted
For the things that I know not about, oh no
Said I'm a wanted, yeah
But Jah won't let the wicked get me on, no way
[Bridge]
Wanted for doing good among my people
Night and day
Wanted for living clean among my brethren
The games that people play
Wanted for doing good
[Refrain]
Things will be better
Though they brand me as a stepper
