Lyrics: Esham. What Did I Do Wrong.

What did I do wrong

What did I do wrong
Don't wanna live
What did I do wrong
Don't wanna live

My momma was a dope fiend but what I mean
She was manic depressed, like the Supremes
And all my tears wiped with a clean ex
I'm on the scene and I drop dead like River Phoenix

A life I can't handle, so I drink Jack Daniels
Straight, I bought me a 38 with one shiny silver bullet
For the werewolf in me I don't pretend to be
I'm fucked up off life

I walk around with a bloody butcher knife
I wanna kill myself, but first
I think about what's worse
I vision my body take a ride in a hearse

And somebody, anybody but nobody hears
Buried alive, pine box and my deepest fears
I been doin' dope since I was 13
But when I close my eyes unconsciously I scream

What did I do wrong
Don't wanna live
What did I do wrong
Don't wanna live

Overdose scare again, I'm doin' heroin
So been suckin' my leg like Nancy Kerragan
Heroin addict like Kurt Cobain
Needle's in your dick 'cause your arms outta veins

The system raped me, society hates me
The man in the mirror is scared to face me
My only friend is me, but how can I pretend to be
My friend, I'm public enemy

A number one, son of a shotgun
So when I blasphemy, I bust a brain cell
Dead cells make me faint but I can't faint no more
I don't dream and never sleep walk

Uncut dope make me comatose
Growin' up with the scandalous from here to Los Angeles
What does it mean, infetamine, niggaz so envy they green
As I watch the fiends fiend, my mind screams

What did I do wrong
Don't wanna live
What did I do wrong
Don't wanna live

Your body's cold you feel numb from your addiction
Just say no's a contradiction
It seems like the whole world's high
And I'm tryin' not to fry, brain cells passin' time until I die

Suicide contemplated everything is drug related
I wish when my father got erect he woulda masturbated
Sperm concentrated now they sell it at the bank
What has life come to? Tell me what to you think?

Crack babies be born like everyday
I sucker born every minute right around my way
What a rush when you're brain bust
All your shit got flushed down the toilet stew
What a fool

Who gives a fuck if you self-destruct
All you hoes and dreams 'cause you just a fiend
And this world ain't big enough for the both of us
Who can I trust with one slug down the bust?
And say

What did I do wrong
Don't wanna live
What did I do wrong
Don't wanna live
