...To Make Me Who I Am
I've walked through this world sometimes without a friendMy life has been up and down, been close to an endBut I've been through the millAnd I've paid my duesWalked so many miles in different peoples shoesBut I've been through the fireAnd I've walked in the rainI've felt the joy and endured the painOnce I was a schemerBut I always was a dreamerBut it took me who I was and where I've beenTo make me who I amI've met a lot of lost souls in the bowels of hellTraveled some crooked roads, got some stories yet to tellI've shot up with the junkie, in piss stench hallsBroken bread with the devil, fallen on my knees to godSome days I was blessed, some nights I was damnedBut I always tried to lend a helping handLetras de cancionesOnce I was a deceiverNot I am a believerBut it took me who I was and where I've beenTo make me who I amOh, I've seen the little children, all strung out on dopeNo one to care about them, living without hopeBut I've been lucky that I always had a songI'll sing it with compassion, to try to right the wrong.Once my life was wretchedBut why should I regret itCause, it took me who I was, and where I've beenTo make me who I amThis is dedicated to my friends in jailFor my brother Jake who had to ride the railFor my friend Roonie and Melvin, who were so dearThey were so misunderstoodBut I wish they were still hereTo hear this song I sing from my heartThey're forever in my soul, even though we had to partOnce I was a deceiverNot I am a believerBut it took me who I was and where I've beenTo make me who I amGod said I forgive youWipe away the scarsCause I know it took who you wereAnd where you came fromTo make you who you areCause I know it took who you wereAnd where you came fromTo make you what you are
