Circumnstances Lyrics

Circumnstances lyrics

Chorus:

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 she

Times get harder

Mi talk all night with all mi might

But still is laughter



Chorus



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 with 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

May sound strange, might sound foolish

But things ain't getting better



Verse 4:

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 she

Times get harder

Mi talk all night with all mi might

But still is laughter
