“LOOK WHAT I’VE BECOME” MARKS THE FIRST OF NEW SONGS SET TO BE RELEASED IN TANDEM WITH MIKE CROSSING STATE LINES ALONG ‘THE WALK ACROSS AMERICA’
As Grammy®-nominated, worldwide multi-platinum selling singer-songwriter-producer Mike Posner (“I Took A Pill In Ibiza,” “Cooler Than Me”) begins the fourth month of his walk across America, he commemorates reaching the near-midpoint of the country – from Missouri into Kansas – with the release of a new single and video via Island Records, “Look What I’ve Become” with Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter/producer Ty Dolla $ign.
“I always love linking up with my bro Mike. He’s one of the dopest in the game. He sang one of the interludes on my mixtape $ign Language a few years back so we were overdue to cook up again. Recently he pulled up to my studio and played me his new project. When I heard this song, I knew that this was the one. I love what he’s doing right now, walking across the country for a good cause & spreading a positive message. We need more of that in the world.” – Ty Dolla $ign

“Look What I’ve Become” Lyrics
(Intro)
Dwilly, I’m scared
(Verse 1: Mike Posner)
Walked across Ohio;
Took me 50 days.
I talked to the stars;
They were happy that I came.
Some days I’m a genius;
Others I’m insane.
There is something gorgeous
Underneath the pain.
I can feel it lifting. (Woo!)
I’m feeling good.
I’m thinking ‘bout David
from my old neighborhood.
A warm and perfect white light
in each of my cells.
I used to be a pop singer;
now I am myself, yeah.
(Refrain: Mike Posner)
Take a little time right now just to count my blessings.
Count my blessings, count, count, count.
Take a little time right now just to count my blessings.
Count my blessings, okay.
(Verse 2: Mike Posner)
Okay, even when I’m falling
there’s something underneath;
Something that is perfect,
it’s almost like a dream.
I know Vincent Van Gogh,
I know Princess Di.
And David Foster Wallace,
he calls me all the time.
If I think ‘bout paradise,
I’d imagine this.
No drugs, or no alcohol, cuz
I’m high as it is.
And I don’t want your money;
I am simply done.
I just walked away,
Look what I’ve become.
(Chorus: Mike Posner)
Look what I’ve become (woo, woo).
Look what I’ve become (woo, woo).
Look what I’ve become (woo, woo).
Look what I’ve become.
(Verse 3: Ty Dolla $ign)
Rollin’ through South Central, better watch your ass.
Bars all on my windows,
Pistol on my bed stand.
To live and die in L.A.
Couldn’t make it off of minimum wage.
I had to get the big body Mercedes.
Cop a Rollie, plus one for my lady, my lady.
I always knew I’d be a legend, saw it in my dreams.
I had to keep one eye open, I could barely sleep.
I had to kill them with success like they’re the enemy.
Murder, murder, murder, Lord mercy me.
I stopped smokin’ last year, fuck that started back again.
God don’t make no accidents.
Look what I’ve become, yeah.
Look what I’ve become.
