Lyrics
B:: GM3
LAB
Verse 1
i really dont know who I am, or why i gotta be//
the way that i am, act the way i act//
every night remaniscin when im hittin the sack//
im flippin when i get pissed when my dogs are turnin their backs//
ive got, every reason to push above and beyond//
my call of duty, you act like im just writin these songs//
its down to a science, theres a process behind it//
dont stick a word here or there just so the line fits//
designed it, so that you could get a look in the mind//
of a way errattic maniac, been mentally blind//
i been carryin the torch cause im spittin it too//
i do whatever i want, whatever they do to you//
i been, left for dead, forgotten and washed up//
robbin the jewlery store if your mans gettin caught up//
no trial, post bail, ive been second to none//
the question im askin you is "what have i become?"//
Hook (Johnny Cash)
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My Empire Of Dirt
I will let you down
I will make you
Hurt
Verse 2
am i a bad person if im never feelin sorry//
for no person, nobody, what has feelin got me?//
got me into it, dragged into dramatic situations//
layin in bed alone, eyes bloodshot, face red//
hey there, what if somebody else almost killin me//
quickly re-released from correctional facilities//
if hes released at noon, gang bangin by three//
cocaine and guns be the yin and yang of the street//
and while the dude Gm3 busy flippin the keys//
im sittin here with what was givin and im rippin the beat//
i just sit, cause if i stand theres a chance to run away//
and im facin my fears like a man here today//
and if the reapers comin at me, swinigin the scythe//
im livin for my lord, so death the purpose of my life now//
i dont bother leadin double lives cause i only know one//
and since i became myself, what have i become?//
Hook
Verse 3
i coulda had it all, but instead id rather live it out//
rather give it time, give it chance, then we can work it out//
and if i wasnt a sinner then what else could i be?//
if i wasnt spittin that heat then, what else would i bring?//
ve got a question for you, do you question yourself?//
would you be ignorant or just request a little help?
what have i become, if im layin you down?//
ive become responsible for my actions all around//
i got a problem i been facin, the cops i been evadin//
shots i been evadin, they want me in the state pen//
if im willin to speak out, the focusin on shuttin my mouth//
so i dont workup all the people that ive been lettin down//
and in essence im a better person than i used to be//
so far from bein perfect but its worth it to me//
step in my shoes for a day, you dont even have to run//
so for one day you could tell me what i have become//
Hook
