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 d

I father is like no eyes no realize seh

Times get harder

MI talk all night with all m

I 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

I There's no hope for those

Who have not from the slum

Take dI little much we have

Still hunting we down

Circimstances made me what

Well a no little cry

Mama cry, papa cry too

She warn the bwoy wth all heart

Now dem find him dead with a smith and wesson

Six weeks and change

Why so much violence, too much violence

It hurts my soul and

I won't keep silent

Circumstances made me what

I cry Circumstances made me what

I am Everyone should know [Repeat verse 1]
