I thought it would be better 
Now I'm a branded hot stepper 

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 

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 

I know things will be better 
Though I'm a branded hot stepper 

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 
But Jah won't let the wicked get me on, no way 

Wanted for doing good among my people 
Night and day 
Wanted for living clean among my brethren 
The games the people play 
Wanted for doing good 

Things will be better 
Though they brand me as a stepper
