What Becomes Of Us Lyrics


[Pressure:]
Words fail me trying to convey, the right thing to say
But they're written in the lines on my face
They're like a road map to show you the way
No tomorrow if there's no today
'Cause time will take all we've left, we've only now
So fly away, hold your breath and don't look down
What becomes of us? if our mistakes are the sum of us
Missing all the beauty right in front of us[Pressure, Ev Jones & Emalia Burford:]
Here we are, our pride got a hold of us
One road too far, our past blindfolding us
Here we are, our world in front of us
If we lose our path, then what becomes of us?
[Pressure:]
Every road of my life, I've had to build across a broken divide
Cornered animals only know how to fight
So why's it feel like for winning every argument, I lose a little part of us
If I concede that I could be the feud within this partnership

Then I don't know where I stand
Maybe lately I been focused on my own just trying to broker a plan
If everything's left unspoken then I know that we're damned
And we'll keep drowning with this weight tied to both of our hands
But don't mistake my silence for my withdraw
Cause only people caught inside a war say it's worth fighting for
If this encompasses us, what becomes of us?
Missing all the beauty right in front of us[Pressure, Ev Jones & Emalia Burford:]
Here we are, our pride got a hold of us
One road too far, our past blindfolding us
Here we are, our world in front of us
If we lose our path, then what becomes of us?
[Suffa:]
Asked a friend a question, said
How much do you drink at night? 'Cause that's how much I spill
I tried to drown my demons, but my demons they grew gills
I feel I have no chill but don't want my heart to give cos
I'm a father and I've got two other hearts to live for
Frida said 'Viva La Vida', Imma meet her
On the other side and fall at her feet I've
Never heard such good advice, not here to pass the time
I'm here to map a story on my face with laughter lines, right?
We can't see the path sometimes cos of our busy lives
Like we can't see the stars at night cos of the city lights
I need to step away and find my balance
Redecorate my mind palace
My, my Alice, I went down the rabbit-hole
To find my sadness, and crush it like it's Adderall
I mind my manners, and try to be kind
When I find my answers, I'm going to be fine[Pressure, Ev Jones & Emalia Burford:]
Here we are, our pride got a hold of us
One road too far, our past blindfolding us
Here we are, our world in front of us
If we lose our path, then what becomes of us?

Hilltop Hoods is a hip hop group, formed in 1991, from Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. Their name refers to Hilltop Road In Blackwood, an Adelaide suburb in which they lived as children, and a part of Adelaide known by all the local B-Boys as The Hilltop. One day, another local rapper, Flak from the Cross Bred Mongrels, said that's what they should call themselves, and the name stuck.

The group formed when MCs Suffa and Pressure met at high school. When they later hooked up with DJ Debris through a mutual friend, the trio was complete.

They were inspired by American hip hop artists such as KRS-One, Gang Starr and Pete Rock, who encouraged them to spread this style of music in Australia.

The Hilltop Hoods have released eight successful recordings - Back Once Again (EP - 1997), A Matter of Time (LP - 1999), Left Foot, Right Foot (LP - 2001), The Calling (LP - 2003), The Hard Road (LP - 2006), The Hard Road: Restrung (LP-2007) ,State Of The Art (LP - 2009) and Drinking From The Sun (LP - 2012). The Calling achieved gold status in Australia (35,000+ copies sold), the first hip-hop album to do so. Two tracks (The Nosebleed Section and Dumb Enough) received places in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2003, at 9th and 44th respectively. The Nosebleed Section also came in at number 17 in the Triple J Hottest Hundred Of All Time, making it the highest ranked Australian song on the list, and the only hip-hop track to make the cut. LP The Hard Road also topped the Australian charts, another first for Australian Hip-Hop.


Aside from their own albums, they have featured on a number of highly respected compilation albums, including Obesecity and Culture of Kings Vol. 1 & 2, and have collaborated with most of the main players of the Australian hip hop scene including Koolism, Mass MC, Pegz, Muphin, Layla, Hyjak and Bonez.

They have played many large Australian music festivals, including the Big Day Out, Splendour in the Grass and Falls Festivals. They have received nominations for the Best Hip Hop Act in 2001 and 2002 at the 3D World Dance Music Awards, won the APRA award for best up-coming group as well as receiving number one positions in independent charts all around Australia.
