Buju Banton / Circumstances

Buju Banton / Circumstances
Buju Banton / Circumstances / Inna Heights

Chorus (x2)
Circumstances made me what I am
Was I born a violent man
Circumstances made me what I am
Everyone should know (*understand*)

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

Verse 3
Well a no little cry
Mama cry, papa cry too
She warn the bwoy with 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

Chorus & repeat verse 1

Tanya Stephens / The Truth

Tanya Stephens / The Truth
Tanya Stephens / The Truth / Wharfedale Riddim

Verse 1
Well, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride
I'd get past my pride, you'd be by my side
I wouldn't be holding on to memories
I wouldn't need them, you'd be here with me
That i was separate and complete, was my confusion
My reciprocity turned out to be retribution
So caught up with what i wanted you to be
Convinced that perfection meant spot free

Bwoy, look at me now
A shadow of my former glory
And the moral of my story is....

Chorus
It may seem i'm holding it down
But if you wanna know the truth
I'm slowly losing my ground,
If you wanna know the truth
There's no one keeping me warm
If you wanna know the truth
I'm only good in your arms
If you wanna know the truth

Verse 2
I miss the way you used to say i wanna bone ya
But i have to resist the urge to phone ya
You must have moved on it's been over a year
And it wouldn't be fair to burden you with my tears
I know i said i didn't need you and i'd be alright,
But i got a much different story tonight
I miss your laughter such a beautiful thing
Now the silence closes in

Oooh ooooh aye
Just look at me now
A shadow of my former glory and the moral of my story is...

Chorus

Oooh ooooaah, keep wishing
Just look at me now
A shadow of my former glory
And the moral of my story is..

Chorus

Just look at me now
A shadow of my former glory
And the moral of my story is it may seem
