SI MI CLEAN lyrics - Buju Banton (feat. Busy Signal)

We tune it up

Buju and Busy

Liquor on table chaser nothing else

'Cause we buy the whole shelf

When we do things the girls them pree this

Them fantasize and tell me how them want to feel this

Me and the team step out we keep it real

We too nice to melt 'way like ice

Shirt in a pants

(You don't see me clean, you don't see me clean, you don't see me clean)

Step out a lamborghini van

(You don't see me clean, you don't see me clean, you don't see me clean)

Pinky ring cost couple grands

(You don't see me clean, you don't see me clean, you don't see me clean)

Alright out we rolling out we rolling out we rolling

See we here

Fresh when we rep

We cool don't have no sweat

No dirt when we step

From boardroom to jet

Alligator get trap in my penthouse closet

Baguettes round me neck disturb the climate

Money I spend every thing a shell sheller

My rollie different from yours it's sky dweller

Wait till busy step out on coachella

In the ferragamo with the dam chinchilla

Clean Alexander McQueen

A style you never seen

We don't question the price

We don't check the receipt

My time is money ask Paket Philippe

We among the elite and a just so we dweet

Clean when talk bout me clean

Me mean clean the stream

Not just me the team

Me mean hot up the scene

Police can't arrest me

Cause money go laundry

The blood cloth cream so clean supreme

Audemar on me hand

(You don't see me clean, you don't see me clean, you don't see me clean)

Round me neck a bullion

(You don't see me clean, you don't see me clean, you don't see me clean)

Yuh nuh clean, yuh nuh clean clean

Nothing but black diamonds

(You don't see me clean, you don't see me clean, you don't see me clean)

Yuh don't see me clean, look no, you nuh see me clean

No time for no shenanigans

(You don't see me clean, you don't see me clean, you don't see me clean)

Hustle, hustle

Money have to make

When me talk bout clean

Me mean ghetto to corporate

From coronation to stock market

Gold pavement me say fuck the red carpet

Cleaner than bleach, lysol and harpic

Clean like me teeth when me just done floss it

Fresher than the water what flow out the faucet

Clean to the street yes we are the hot topic

To how we kill the scene police white chalk it

Some say clean but them clean and lean

And no earthquake make them shake

Dog you know what me mean

Me mean when them try ma fe hide it father God still see him

Me mean some of them a bleach out till them vain them green me mean

Some a them don't even fantasize about girl in them dream

Ya mean

Some a them love to hype over things when no really feen

Any way me don't look that way no see him

A pure hot girl in me clean limousine you see

You don't see me clean

(You don't see me clean, you don't see me clean, you don't see me clean)

And be true, bankroll, yuh gotta be clean, gotta scream, everything dancehall, money is everything

You don't see me clean

(You don't see me clean, you don't see me clean, you don't see me clean)

You don't see me clean

(You don't see me clean, you don't see me clean, you don't see me clean)

(Everyday the week we clean)

Observe

You don't see me clean

(You don't see me clean, you don't see me clean, you don't see me clean)

Mirror, mirror, you don't see me clean

(You don't see me clean, you don't see me clean, you don't see me clean)

You don't see me clean

(You don't see me clean, you don't see me clean, you don't see me clean)

Yuh don't see me clean, look no, you nuh see me clean

You don't see me clean

(You don't see me clean, you don't see me clean, you don't see me clean)

Every day of the week, we clean

Hustle, make money green

They Are Not Listening Still lyrics - Buju Banton

[Chorus:]

Your not listening still

Paraps they never will

Till all that they work for and care for

Is slowly gone

I hear many voice loud and clear

The greatest have learn

And must do less talking at times

[Verse 1:]

Did you hear when the man said flattering lips are a macka

Did you hear there's ni attach unto idle chatter

The man who talks the most

The man who lost the ghost

Those who be like tail there of

Shall go from post to post

Oh the night show the light

Jah angel take over

Chase dem wid lightening

Those who swear by thy power

At the sound of thunder

False witness take cover

The cannot stand it thy place

Nor look in thy face

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]

Help I to see these lips of mine

Let I not cause an offense

Sweet is the sound of silence

When thy mind is at peace

Thy knowledge increase

Always talking never make any sense

Oh no

They sees knows everything don't even know him self

Oh no, you carry go bring, mix up everything

What a mess yo get yo self in

You carry go bring, mix up everything

What a mess yo get yo

[Chorus]

[Verse 1]

Time And A Place lyrics - Buju Banton

Hmm, yeah

Have you ever heard a caged bird sing?

There's a time and a place for everything, woo woo

And do you believe in the joy it brings?

When your eyes are open and you can see everything

That's around you

Separating friends from foes

Taking dangerous blows

Learning from life as you grow

Yo, do you believe me?

And however rough it may seem

It is not a far-fetched dream

And I know (I know)

Dreadlock will be coming in

And however rough it may seem

It is not a far-fetched dream

And I know (I know)

Blessings will be flowing like a stream

Have you ever heard a caged bird sing?

There's a time and a place for everything

Do you believe me, yeah?

Just open up your eyes and look within

There's a time and a place for everything

Or you could believe me

I searched for freedom the caged bird sings

I wanna hear the freedom bell ring

Until that day uh there will be no peace, oh no

Battles rage over land and seas

Fighting soldiers with desperate needs

As children play upon a land

Filled with cluster bombs, lord

Have you ever heard a caged bird sing?

There's a time and a place for everything, yo

Can you hear me, yeah?

Just open up your eyes take a look within

There's a time and a place for everything, yo

Do you hear me?

This one called "Time anna time anna time anna place"

Look man well look ready don't destroy inna hearse

Try nuh tek your money and go free nuh base

Watch where you a carry wacka run with your ways

Lot man woulda run with it if it kill you inna hearse

Kill you and go hide your body and nuh leave a trace

Listen Buju Banton pon di riddim with mi case

Unuh wan hear mi just say it to mi face, coz

Let mi sing, there's a time and a place for everything, yo

If you don't know, well I'm the son of the king

Just you take a look, take a look within

Coz there's a time and a place for everything, yo

How much more can I tell unuh

Battered & Bruised Lyrics – Buju Banton

one life to live [Repeat]

take a look at me tell me what do you see
you dont have to love me but am not your enemy
and 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 ooohhh
one life u've got to live
come on lets us live it right
if u're in bed with the devil
then you ave made your choice
because

[Chorus]
we've been battered and bruise [Repeat]
we still nursing wounds
battered and bruised still nursing my wounds
battered and bruised yea still nursing my wounds
battered and bruised yeah still nursing wounds

[Verse 2]
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

[Repeat chorus x2]
[Repeat verse 1]

No Smoking At All Lyrics – Buju Banton

And I want to smoke but the sign says No Smoking At All
Want a drink but they say No More Alcohol
He is like My Back's Against The Wall
I feel like I can't get no help at all

Him feelin a bit under the weather
When I thought to myself what would make him fell better
And some beg for sunken treasure
No I would not keep it all to myself
Let me share some with another
And so I said

I want to smoke but the sign says No Smoking At All
Want a drink but they say No More Alcohol
I fell like my back's against the wall
Feel like I can't get no help at all

I search I look
I call on my brother
Everywhere I turn Everywhere I look
I could not find your daughter
I stopped at every corner I could think
All closed I just could not find a drink
To ease this pain
Oh my day was so bad

Lord
And called
Want to smoke but the sign says No Smoking At All
Want a drink but they say No More Alcohol
I fell like my back's against the wall
Feel like I can't get no help at all

I fell like my back's against the wall
I feel like I can't get no help at all
want to smoke but the sign says No Smoking At All
Want a drink but they say No More Alcohol

I fell like my back's against the wall
Feel like I can't get no help at all
He is like My Back's Against The Wall
I feel like I can't get no help at all

I know that the sun will come out tomorrow
Bring me only joy don’t bring no sorrow
Call me optimistic, I believe in life.
All is here for the taking, for a price
For a price, yeah
For a price...For a price
Good Lord

And I say, I know that the sun will come out tomorrow
Bring me only joy don’t bring no sorrow
Call me optimistic, I believe in life.
All is here for the taking, for a price

And it’s a magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights
Oh magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights

I said, where the mystic is always around
You enjoy the sights and sounds
So high you don’t want to be down
This is where I can be found

Where the mystic is all around
Enjoy the sights and sounds
So high you don’t wanna be down
This is where I can be...

It’s the magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights
Whoa, magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights

Ay, Yeah I was depressed, frustrated and lonely
Then a voice from nowhere came and consoled me
Now do the best you can, you stand up and be a man

You’re in the magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights
This magic city, magic lights, magical moments, magical heights

I know that the sun will come out tomorrow
Bring me only joy don’t bring no sorrow
Call me optimistic, man believe in life.
And all is there for the taking for a price

You’re in the magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights
Whoa, magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights
Magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights
Whoa, magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights

I tell you once more
Where the mystic is all around
You enjoy the sights and sound
So high you don’t want to be down
This is where I can be found

Down there where the mystic is all around
Enjoy the sights and the sound
So high you don’t want to be down
Down there, that’s that’s where I can be...

Magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights
Oh, magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights
Ay, magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights
Magic city, magic lights, magic moments, magical heights

Paid Not Played Lyrics – Buju Banton

[Chorus:]
Woman you getting paid not played
Pushing Escalade and rocking Prada
No more drama do your thing your much glamour
Spend a few if you wanna see Cancun or Towanda
Gal say she a go hard make them know say you harder

[Verse 1:]
While girl been pimping hyping up
You got bills in stock keep lining up
No more free loading time is up
Let you breath that paper don't stifle us
Getting 20's if the 18's ain't fat enough
Nice likkle cutie just you backs it up
Tell a gal to keep her eyes off ya stuff
Rude girl a you posses the Midas touch
From head to toe, Buju say you fabulous
i love it when the woman them really gorgeous
No other ting on this earth I would rather trust
Tell all the woman then it is a must

[Chorus x2]

[Verse 2:]
Now who you gonna play
Low down dirty shame
Play unfair
Losing a tricky game
Just look at your hair while im checking out your nails
Tensless I'm stress less loving your everyways
Benjy in the air now let it blaze
Costume ain't nothing so baby let the blazer stay
ya magnetic force pulling me to your shape
Irresistable there's no escape

[Chorus x2]

[Verse 3:]
I love it when the woman dem really fascinating
Joy and pleasure and splender them bring
The woman dem a dance rotate and swing
While the rude bwoy sit pon riddim
Buju Banton in the area oh what a vibe
The woman dem make my eyes open and I realize
A dem have the feeling
Dem store di ride
Gwaan Gargamel just ride

[Chorus x2]

[Verse 4:]
While girl been pimping hyping up
You got bills in stock keep lining up
No more free loading time is up
Let us breath that paper don't settle us
Getting 20's if the 18's ain't fat enough, come on
Nice likkle cutie won't you backs it up
Tell dem Buju Banton say she have di right stuff
Ah rude girl a you posses the Midas touch

From you gorgeous, Buju say you gorgeous so
Greet you pon di riddim, di riddim is a must so

Get It On Lyrics – Buju Banton (feat. Wayne Wonder)

Put yourself in my position
It's the moment of decision
Got to love you like a real man
Let us have some fun

When you ready you to come, come
Fit up me self already, no man, nah, go run, run
Pleasure satisfaction alone me bring down down
Penis stiff up like a pencil hear a beat like a dum dum

Man nuh afraid, a woman brave heart, man a uh dum dum
Love you, make you simmer and settle like a run down
Touch you body right and make you say it's well done
Nah give her a half, me a make, she view the whole spectrum

Woman just bring on the fun
I'm gonna love you like it's never been done
Take on a level plane and set your equilibrium
No escaping, no turning back and no place to run
Woman a melt, she a the butter me a the sun

Try my best to make it better satisfy
You bring you pleasure in your life
Other guys would die to do whatever
Acting smart, not being clever, no, not I

Man a make love to woman, them a look up inna space
Nah feel no pleasure, him nuh penetrate
She want test her fate
Hold on and brace get up tired
And tried and ball fi body ace

See the hussy, carry the money, make him confiscate
You rather have a man with whom you can relate
First, you be fair, not Vanity Fair
The something the you have by right, it has to share

Poor Old Man Lyrics – Buju Banton (feat. Stephen Marley)

Say, there were lonely a man even than before...
Shooba, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

There was once an old man, who lived all alone
All through out his life, no happiness have he had known
Now with tears in his eyes, he watches as folks passes by
Walking hand in hand with love
Walking hand in hand with love

Now said, I read a letter, poor old woman say
Trying to express how much she needed help
Her loneliness, no sweet caress
No tenderness, she needed some help

Babe, young, the elderly they all want love
Good loviduby mi say kiss and hug
That fill up the cup, mi say dat full di the mug
Overflow to the brim, mi say, like water jug
Woman dem a bubble up, need a little cuddle up
Nah tek nuh fubble up, hardcore a double up
Anywhere we go dancehall a fi nice up
When this one play feel it, yeah
It's the order of the day, you can't deny it, no way
When dis one play, you feel it, yeah

When will they meet? Poor old woman say
When will they greet? Poor old woman say
Her loneliness is the message that she sends
And all she need is one good faithfull friend
That will make her smile again

Throughout her life there is nothing but misery
Upstairs and downstairs, roller coaster tragedy
All kind a things, mi say none she never fancy
When yu chek it out, it was all topsy turvey
Gwan Buju Banton yu pattern is ever irie
Anywhere you go dem call yu Mr. Mark Myrie
And when they're having problems
They think that we can solve them
Who they're having problems
They think that we can solve them

She cried, help me please, poor old woman say
Some company, poor old woman say
In sympathy, she asked me for some help
To find some one to share her loneliness
She said, she can't go on like this

There was once an old man, who lived all alone
All through out his life, no happiness have he had known
Now with tears in his eyes, he watches as folks passes by
Walking hand in hand with love
Walking hand in hand with love

Such loneliness, poor old woman say
Nah, can't forget, poor old woman say
In sympathy, she asked me for some help
To find some one to share her loneliness
She said, she needs something better than this...

Hills And Valleys Lyrics – Buju Banton

Only Rasta can liberate the people
Over hills and valleys too
Don't let them fool you
Don't believe for a minute that they are with you
Jah free the people
Over hills and valleys too
Don't let them fool you
Don't believe for a minute, they don't like you

[Verse 1:]
Why try to make I unhappy
Really I don't know
If it was up to them my friend
We would never see the sun nor the snow
Through that mystical communication within
We keep on coming together
I love to see brothers and sisters
Looking out for one another
That's the way it should be
Not contrary, stop tearing down each other

Only Rasta free the people
Over hills and valleys too
Don't let them fool you
Don't believe one minute that they are with you
Jah free the people
Over hills and valleys too
Don't let them fool you
Don't believe for a minute that they are with you

[Verse 2:]
Hard drugs won't do
You're just behaving like they want you to (yeah)
Arrogance is much different from ignorance
And I know you feel the same way too
Many live this life without having a clue
No reason why they are so sad and blue
Places to go so much things to do
Not a moment to reflect on the cycle of life (yeah)

A who free the people
Over hills and valleys too
Don't let them fool you
Don't believe for a minute that they are with you
Jah free the people
Over hills and valleys too
Don't let them fool you
Don't believe one minute, they don't like you

It hard, it hard, it hard (yeah)
Mek them know we waan go home a we yard
It hard, it hard, it hard (let them know)
Let them know we waan go home a we yard
It hard, it hard, it hard (let them know)
Let them know we waan go home a we yard
It hard, it hard, it hard (oh god)
We waan go home

Only Rasta free the people
Over hills and valleys too
Don't let them fool you
Don't believe one minute, they don't like you

[Repeat Verse 1]

A who free the people
Over hills and valleys too
Don't let them fool you
Don't believe one minute, they don't like you
Jah free the people
Over hills and valleys too
Don't let them fool you
Don't believe one minute, they don't like you

Cry No More Lyrics – Buju Banton

Don't cry, don't cry
Oh no, oh no

I never want to see you crying over me
You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be
Oh no, no no no no
You got to be strong
Never want to see you crying over me
You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be
Oh no, no no no no
You gotta be strong, oh my love

I know I've hurt you more than once
Treating your love like I don't response
Time in deed, caught up on me
Trapped in your tears
Please set me free I plea
Maybe I took this life for granted
Making you feel like you're not wanted
Ego got the best of me
Chasing every beautiful woman I see
In the end what's my reward
I brought unhappiness in a mi yard, oh Lord

I never want to see you crying over me
You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be
Oh no, no no no no
No no no no no no no
I never want to see you crying over me
You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be
Oh no, no no no no
Dry your weeping eyes, oh my love

And this may sound just like a drama
Inside me there's constant fire
Burning my soul, saying oh what a liar
You've hurt me, so much time hurt her no longer
But I am really a true believer in love
Trying my best to make it work
Show me a man who doesn't cheat
Nor flirt in this world
Boys will be attracted to girls

I never want to see you crying over me
You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be
Oh no, no no no no
Got to be strong
I never want to see you crying over me
You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be
Oh no, no no no no
No no no no no no no

I know that I've hurt you more than once
Treating your love like I don't response
Time in deed, caught up on me
Trapped in your tears
Please set me free I plea
Maybe I took this love for granted
Making you feel like you're not wanted
Ego got the best of me
Chasing every beautiful woman I see
In the end what's my reward
I brought unhappiness in a mi yard, oh Lord

I never want to see you crying over me
You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be
Oh no, no no no no
Wipe your eyes
I never want to see you crying over me

Oh no, no no no no

Close One Yesterday Lyrics – Buju Banton

One more day in the struggle
Have to get up and juggle
You done know, want a little sugar inna de pan
Me nah see fi trouble, no man
Oh oh oh

Said I had close one yesterday
Jah put an angel over me, be strong
Hold a firm meditation
One day things must get better, don't you go down
Keep your head above the water
Say, one day things must get better, be strong

Said I had close one yesterday
Jah put an angel over me, be strong
Hold a firm meditation
One day things must get better, don't you go down
Keep your head above the water
Say, one day things must get better, be strong

The rich is wise in his conceit
But the fool with over standing search him out
Poor man mourn, the rich riches increase
Be not grieved, riches are not forever

Envy not the oppressor choses none of his ways
Be not wise in his own eyes, only jah you must praise
Strive not with a man without cause
If he have done no harm, let by gone be by gone

Said I had close one yesterday
Jah put an angel over me, be strong
Hold a firm meditation
One day things must get better, don't you go down
Keep your head above the water
Say, one day things must get better, be strong

This nine to five is a joke
Compare to the pressure the minister say
The economy is getting better
Misleading the people

The mass still suffer on jah
Scarce benefit and spoils
Jah know that we feel it day

Circumstances Lyrics – Buju Banton

Circumstances made me what I am
Was I born a violent man
Circumstances made me what I am
Everyone should understand

Circumstances made me what I am
Was I born a violent man
Circumstances made me what I am
Everyone should know

[Verse 1]
May sound strange, might sound foolish
But things ain't getting better
Everyday another fall victim to the beretter
Why is there so much violence
Killing we one another
Let us learn to live and let that light shine brighter
Bad influence through influence the youth dem get slaughter
As bad as badman use to be
Dem respect dI father
is like no eyes no realize seh
Times get harder
MI talk all night with all mI might
But still is laughter

Circumstances made me what I am
Was I born a violent man
Circimstances made me what I am
And everyone should know

[Verse 2]
Him say, when I try to cope
Tell mI self there is hope
It seems like the biggest joke
Eh eh,

And as I put down the gun
Still dollars must run
All now employment can't come
Have mI a jam and a cool
Want go back in a school
The system lick mI
There's no hope for those
Who have not from the slum
Take dI little much we have
Still hunting we down
I beg unu show some love
Unu wI get back, he replied

Circumstances made me what I am
Was I born a violent man
Circimstances made me what I am
And everyone should know

[Verse 3]
Well a no little cry
Mama cry, papa cry too
She warn the bwoy wth all heart
And that couldn't do
Now dem find him dead with a smith and wesson
Six weeks and change
Now mi hear him missing
Why so much violence, too much violence
It hurts my soul and I won't keep silent

Circumstances made me what I am
That was his reply I cry
Circumstances made me what I am
Everyone should know

[Repeat verse 1]
