Mortimer, your music saved my life brother, When I was going through the worst tings, You make Kingston JA Proud, God Bless you and you family 🇯🇲👑😁🇯🇲👍🙏🇯🇲
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"
🇯🇲👑👍😁🇯🇲 Well Done Mortimer, You are rare and remarkable, you make Kingston Jamaica so Proud, my family is from there & your music is so healing and Beautiful, God really gave you a Gift to share with the world to help everyone, God Bless you and your family 🙏
This is reggae at it best the beat rocks like the Bob marley days. The lyrics are back to ground roots. Great sounds,I am just rocking to this from start to finish ❤
Broooooooooooo... 🔥🔥🔥 This is the Collab I have been waiting for a while. Lila and Kabaka. Now I want you to do something with Jah Lil. Much love from Uganda 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬
Do you feel the vibration from the Queen and Kings here!!!!? I asking for more, more tunes together. These Souls are so special that they can't just work with anyone....Energy has to match Energy! Jah Bless. #5oz94

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)
Nah dis mix up too rough 🔥🔥🔥
The song talks to me and my fellow black folks ❤🧡💚
Salute General 🫡✊️
Mortimer, your music saved my life brother, When I was going through the worst tings, You make Kingston JA Proud, God Bless you and you family 🇯🇲👑😁🇯🇲👍🙏🇯🇲
