lirik lagu aaron neville - to make me who i am
(aaron neville, gordon chambers, robbie nevil, bradley spalter)
i’ve walked through this world sometimes without a friend
my life has been up and down, been close to an end
but i’ve been through the mill
and i’ve paid my dues
walked so many miles in different peoples shoes
but i’ve been through the fire
and i’ve walked in the rain
i’ve felt the joy and endured the pain
once i was a schemer
but i always was a dreamer
but it took me who i was and where i’ve been
to make me who i am
i’ve met a lot of lost souls in the bowels of h-ll
traveled some crooked roads, got some stories yet to tell
i’ve shot up with the junkie, in p-ss stench halls
broken bread with the devil, fallen on my knees to god
some days i was blessed, some nights i was d-mned
but i always tried to lend a helping hand
once i was a deceiver
not i am a believer
but it took me who i was and where i’ve been
to make me who i am
oh, i’ve seen the little children, all strung out on dope
no one to care about them, living without hope
but i’ve been lucky that i always had a song
i’ll sing it with comp-ssion, to try to right the wrong.
once my life was wretched
but why should i regret it
’cause, it took me who i was, and where i’ve been
to make me who i am
speech:
this is dedicated to my friends in jail
for my brother jake who had to ride the rail
for my friend roonie and melvin, who were so dear
they were so misunderstood
but i wish they were still here
to hear this song i sing from my heart
they’re forever in my soul, even though we had to part
once i was a deceiver
not i am a believer
but it took me who i was and where i’ve been
to make me who i am
god said i forgive you
wipe away the scars
cause i know it took who you were
and where you came from
to make you who you are
cause i know it took who you were
and where you came from
to make you what you are
