Over Jungle, wicked man thing

Never try dis an unruly man
Worst when mi have up the tool in hand

Murder people and beat remand
Diss yard man you haffi leave the land
Wicked, wicked, wicked

Dem mussi feel like the gun dem fraid fi bore dem thing

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Popcaan's song "Wicked Man Ting" present a dark and violent world where individuals brandish weapons and behave with malice towards others. The opening lyrics state that wickedness can be found in different places such as Jungle, Water House, Juize Land, and Portmore, highlighting the extent to which this behavior has spread. The use of the AK and Glock is glorified through the description of their sleek design. The chorus suggests that the person singing has no qualms about being violent when they have a weapon in their hand.


The lyrics then go on to call out specific regions where wickedness is prevalent such as Spanish Town, St. Thomas, August Town, and Tivoly Garden. Popcaan describes the horrors committed in these places, which include murder, assault, and kidnapping. The repetition of "wicked" throughout the lyrics reinforces the idea that the people the song is referring to are truly malevolent.


One possible interpretation of this song could be that Popcaan is critiquing the violence and criminal behavior that has become entrenched in Jamaican society. By painting a bleak picture of the consequences of this type of behavior, he may be trying to discourage others from following the same path.
