bunny wailer - battering down sentence lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
battering down sentence
fighting against conviction
battering down sentence
fighting against conviction

[verse 1]
i find myself growing in an environment
where finding food is just as hard as paying the rent
in trodding these roads of trial and tribulation
i’ve seen where some have died in desparation

[chorus]
to keep battering down sentence
fighting against conviction
battering down sentence
fighting against conviction

[verse 2]
in a family of ten and raised in the ghetto
hustling is the only education i know
can’t grow no crops in this concrete jungle
situation like this is getting too though to handle

[chorus]
to keep battering down the sentence
fighting against conviction
battering down sentence (all day long)
fighting against conviction
[verse 3]
with a pregnant woman, yes, and five kids to care for
can’t cool my heel, i’ve got to do the town
sk!llful as i am, the jailor man is bound to find me
i pray the day will come when i shall be free from

[chorus]
we’re battering down the sentence
fighting against conviction
battering down sentence (all live long, yes)
fighting against conviction

[verse 4]
to be trapped and caught and taken before judge and angry jury
pleading before men who seem to have no mercy
can’t afford to find myself down in the dungeon
i’ve got to stay free so that my kids grow free

[chorus]
battering down the sentence
fighting against conviction
battering down sentence (all live long, yeah)
fighting against conviction

[verse 5]
now a fugitive at large, could this be my destiny?
with no one to care for the welfare of my family
in solitude i’ve found new faith and hope in this, i’ll be secure
for mind and soul would soon be weary, just couldn’t take no more
[outro]
battering down the sentence (all live long, yeah)
fighting against conviction
