Battered & Bruised Songtext
von Buju Banton

Woy mana woy (one life to live)
Wada woy woy (one life to live)
I want you to know (one life to live)
Want you to know oh, oh, oh (live on right)

Take a look at me tell me what do you see
You dont have to love me but am not your enemy
And I am not amused by your verbal abuse
You think you are clever what a sorry excuse

Playing with the minds of people dangerous games they play
Man if you are not careful they lead you a stray
Protect your soul by any means necessary
Take nothing for granted

You may be sorry, oh
One life you′ve got to live, come on lets us live it right
If you're in bed with the devil
Then you ave made your choice because


We′ve been battered and bruised (battered and bruised)
We still nursing wounds (ah ha-ha)
Battered and bruised you're
Still nursing wounds, well

Battered and bruised (battered and bruised)
Still nursing my wounds (ah ha-ha)
Battered and bruised you're
Still nursing wounds, oh

We face all form of human segregation
Who use to ask me ware I am from
They brought us here in shackles and chain
And throughout the centuries its nothing but pain, Lord

We′ve been battered and bruised (battered and bruised)
Still nursing wounds (ah ha-ha)
Battered and bruised you′re
Still nursing wounds, well

Been battered and bruised (battered and bruised)
Still nursing my wounds (ah ha-ha)
Battered and bruised you're
Still nursing wounds, oh


Now listen, take a look at me
What do you see? (what, tell me what?)
You don′t have to love me, but I'm not your enemy, no
I am not amused by your verbal abuse

You think you′re clever (no, no, no, no)
What a sorry excuse, go on
Playing with the minds of people
The games they play, if you're not careful

They′ll lead you astray, now
Protect your soul by any means necessary
Take nothing for granted
You may be sorry woah oh, oh

One life man have to live
Come on let us live it right (one life, have to live)
Take nothing for blood, wat, wat, wat, wat
Watch what you say, we've been

Battered and bruised (battered and bruised)
Still nursing wounds (ah ha-ha)
Battered and bruised you're
Still nursing wounds, well

Man battered and bruised (battered and bruised)
Still nursing my wounds (ah ha-ha)
Battered and bruised you′re
Still nursing wounds, oh

Oh woy, oh woy it happen (battered and bruised)
Again and again (ah ha-ha)
When the gatana impose my brain (still nursing wounds)
We′ll fight the struggle (battered and bruised)
Not give up, no I say (ah ha-ha)
