[Chorus]
I was in the dirt for this shit, didn't have worth as a kid and I'm fighting for my life like uh
I was in the dirt for this shit, from my birth I was stripped of my rights, isn't right like uh
I was in the dirt for this shit, vengeance burn like a bitch, I just wanna see the light like uh
I was in the dirt for this shit, yuh, I was in the dirt for this shit
[Verse 1]
If there ever was a problem, then I solve it with the hands
Dirty in my city, vermin tryna run the lands
I don't wanna off em, when I pull up better scram
Do the work nobody wants to and I do it for the fam
See, I turn them all to fans, hard life that I'm living, put it all out on the line, making sure that she's grinning
All the stress that's piling on and they're all rеlying on me to get them out thе bullshit, armor that I wear is thin
I've been up on the surface, I've seen how they all thrive, when I mention it to you I'm seeing fear in your eyes
The tension that is bubbling is costing us our lives, I'm not a slave to the system, not a slave to my mind
They all crying out, yeah, but I don't have the wisdom, my life be like a prison and I'm burning up inside
Passion flying out, am I the abuser or the victim? To them I'll never give in, watch me as I rise, oh my
Is me fighting even worth it? Cause I got a single purpose, but the person that I'm aiming for is gone
All the pain, do I deserve it? Hear the laughing, where's the circus? Is it me still holding on?
Peace, is it achievable? Dreams, are they believable?
I'm chasing a ghost, they say my thinking isn't reasonable
Well, my mind is set in stone
Jinxed myself before, but it's time to get her home, hey
[Chorus]
I was in the dirt for this shit, didn't have worth as a kid and I'm fighting for my life like uh
I was in the dirt for this shit, from my birth I was stripped of my rights, isn't right like uh
I was in the dirt for this shit, vengeance burn like a bitch, I just wanna see the light like uh
I was in the dirt for this shit, yuh, I was in the dirt for this shit, yuh
I was in the dirt for this shit, didn't have worth as a kid and I'm fighting for my life like
I was in the dirt for this shit, from my birth I was stripped of my rights, isn't right like
I was in the dirt for this shit, vengeance burn like a bitch, I just wanna see the light like
I was in the dirt for this shit, I was in the dirt for this shit
[Verse 2]
I've been put through hell
When the gloves come on I can let it all out, yuh
Some sorta sick spell
Sanity is slipping, suck it up, no slouch
You can say it's my fault, put the blame on me, just know I did my best, every night I sat and grieved
Echoes of my past keep on coming back, it's all outta wack, I could never be free
Of this shit I've witnessed, my place is at the bottom, but why should I agree
Not-gifted, but I'm pissed, it's unfair for you to chose, that choice should be from me
Gonna fight to get you back, throw hands with fate
They be talking lotta smack, face I can't wait to break
Mind can crack and I can't see straight
Going round for round like a round from Cait
They think that I'm the enemy, but I don't know what's left of me just staying on my feet
New life? Well, there better be, but is making it my destiny or is it staying here weak?
I can't compete, no way, I'm obsolete, OK
And even 'gainst the waves I'mma fight to get you back, then we can all go back just to find our peace
[Chorus]
I was in the dirt for this shit, didn't have worth as a kid and I'm fighting for my life like uh
I was in the dirt for this shit, from my birth I was stripped of my rights, isn't right like uh
I was in the dirt for this shit, vengeance burn like a bitch, I just wanna see the light like uh
I was in the dirt for this shit, yuh, I was in the dirt for this shit
I was in the dirt for this shit, didn't have worth as a kid and I'm fighting for my life like
I was in the dirt for this shit, from my birth I was stripped of my rights, isn't right like
I was in the dirt for this shit, vengeance burn like a bitch, I just wanna see the light like
I was in the dirt for this shit, I was in the dirt for this shit
I was in the dirt for this shit, didn't have worth as a kid and I'm fighting for my life like uh
I was in the dirt for this shit, didn't have worth as a kid and I'm fighting for my life like uh
I was in the dirt for this shit, from my birth I was stripped of my rights, isn't right like uh
