Circumstances Lyrics

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
