Why Should I

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
