Buju Banton - 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 k**ing 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]
