Circumstances |
| 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 |
