Mortimer Ft. Kabaka Pyramid & Lila Iké - Bruises (Visualizer)

[@MortimerMusic]

LYRICS: I've got the bruises to prove How could you pretend you never Used and abused And yes, you scorned and refused To treat me equally, don't wanna hear your excuse I've got the bruises to prove How could you pretend you never Used and abused (yeah) And yes, you scorned and refused To treat me equally, don't wanna hear your excuse (yeah) I've got the bruises to prove How could you pretend you never Used and abused (yeah) And yes, you scorned and refused To treat me equally, don't wanna hear your excuse (yeah) Nuff whip lashing, yeah Skin peeled and cracking Black Friday sale outs Nuff picnic days out You made us heavy Whip chains and sorrow Oh, how we cried out Till our eyes dried out I've got the bruises to prove How could you pretend you never Used and abused (yeah) And yes, you scorned and refused To treat me equally, don't wanna hear your excuse (yeah) I've got the bruises to prove How could you pretend you never Used and abused (yeah) And yes, you scorned and refused To treat me equally, don't wanna hear your excuse (yeah) Like seh yuh nuh use me like a tool Abuse me like a mule Refuse me inna yuh school Then accuse mi seh mi fool Beat me till mi wail up Screaming while you rail up Peel your sugar cane Free me then you jail us It's always the Black that pay the penalties Scars on my back, they bear the memories Bodies found, no grave, we nah no cemeteries All we got a these verses and these melodies And trauma inna mi DNA weh pass down Chronic diseases, diabetes and gallstone Cycle repeat and now you treat we like a rass clown Is like a target pon mi back when mi a walk ‘round I've got the bruises to prove How could you pretend you never Used and abused (yeah) And yes, you scorned and refused To treat me equally, don't wanna hear your excuse (yeah) I've got the bruises to prove How could you pretend you never Used and abused (yeah) And yes, you scorned and refused To treat me equally, don't wanna hear your excuse (yeah) Take it from the eyes That have seen the inner child Many try to run from the pain they left behind Trying to forgive is removal of my pride I've been tryna cope with these voices in my mind Once upon a time I'd wanna hear your side But I've come to know your mouth is full of lies Taken all I've got but you're not satisfied Slavery isn't something you can justify I've got the bruises to prove How could you pretend you never Used and abused (yeah) And yes, you scorned and refused To treat me equally, don't wanna hear your excuse (yeah) I've got the bruises to prove How could you pretend you never Used and abused (yeah) And yes, you scorned and refused To treat me equally, don't wanna hear your excuse (yeah)

Mortimer says “Bruises”, his new song, “speaks on the mistreatment we've had to endure as Black people especially, but also about the human condition and the emotional distress we all face regardless of race or status. We all bear scars, both seen and unseen; some spoken of and those kept secret.”

Love, Honor and Respect to Lila Ike, Kabaka Pyramid and Mortimer. In fact, this is a great tribute to our Great Black Ancestors who fought, died and pave the way for our freedom 1000%.

​​Can't wait to hear Lila Ike, Mortimer, and Kabaka Pyramid collaborating on this new song! These three are some of my favorite reggae artists, This is going to be epic! I think this is what Bob Marley meant when he said "3 lil birds there pan my doorstep singing sweet songs"
