Ransom, The Game - Circumstances lyrics

My wife and daughters depend on me
They look to me for courage and strength
So I keep that energy
It's meant for me, I'm stronger than most
But I got these tendencies
I think big,  but the smaller shit
Be offending me
You ignore if you friends with me cross me
It's like the world's ending
I turn evil the second one
Of my girls mentioned
I bench press stress and curl tension
Hold the weight on my shoulders 'cause
I'm shaped like a soldier
Now I got your attention
I talk to God, but it's not for repentance
My lil' homie was shot by that entrance
Don't call me bro if you not my descendant
I spit fear like I'm not full of vengeance
Get stripped bare like a
Plot from The Revenant
If I offend you, it's not my intentions
The judge spoke a couple words
I was shocked by the sentence
No reminiscin', just rememberin'
The world to your family is in your hands
They're dependent

They say that love is equal to pain
(Got a love that is true, that is true)
Guess we don't see these people the same
When love is gone, but the evil remains
Now they speaking our names
A shaky link gon' weaken your chain
Yeah, now lieutenants focus they
Lenses on you
(Got a love that is true, that is true)
Prosecutors call codefendants on you
The judge know that he got a sentence for you
Not every friend is loyal
But your wife and kids is dependin' on you

Half a million on this Maybach
It's two-tone like my nigga Two Tone
He in the sky like this
Benz when the roof gone
Lot of memories, lot of dead homies
Lot of funerals paid for for niggas
Who wasn't kin to me
I envy this heart of mine
It feel for niggas all the time
Niggas bite the hand and think that I'm
Just s'posed to fall in line
Never been my style
Like blowin' smoke from a Black & Mild
Niggas want the smoke? Creep up on
The whip when it's backin' out
You gon' get this whole
Clip like SportsCenter spin the block
Leave that nigga leanin' on his
Car like ten o'clock send a opp
Long as my Amiris got this torch in 'em
Avenge your man's death and your ass gon'
Be in the morgue with 'em

Ayo, Ransom ayo, talk to these niggas, man
You think I made it to 42 by luck, nigga?
Jackie Robinson jersey matchin' my
Journey through life yeah, ha ha

Seein' this life got my vision a daze
No more livin' afraid
Got rid of my frivolous ways
Speak with the soul of indigenous slaves
Your religion is vague
Would you plant a tree if you knew
You couldn't sit in it's shade?
Came from the dirt like
I'm diggin' the grave
They say that a prisoner cage'll
Give you additional greys
Cherish your kids in these pivotal days
Television is swayed
Every Black male is in jail and
All our women is crazed
They say you blessed if you live to this age
Either you livin' amazed or you
Just live in a maze
I'm in no position to gauge
What I'm pursuing is great, but
Everybody dies with food on they plate, just
Just nod your head if you too can relate
If you maneuver in faith
Then you'll be choosin' your place
'Cause it ain't 'bout losin' a race
Make sure you cross the finish line
My brother told me bare my soul
That's what I did this time

They say that love is equal to pain
(Got a love that is true, that is true)
Guess we don't see these people the same
When love is gone, but the evil remains
Now they speaking our names
A shaky link gon' weaken your chain
Yeah, now lieutenants focus they
Lenses on you
(Got a love that is true, that is true)
Prosecutors call codefendants on you
The judge know that he got a sentence for you
Not every friend is loyal
But your wife and kids is dependin' on you

Got a love that is true, that is true
Got a love that is true, that is true
