VERSE 1:
No mistake
They been doing dirt
And tryna get away
Not today
Filthy animals
Belong inside cage
Or grave
I ain’t diggin
With ya flag
Catch a fade
Get it Straight
This America
But that don’t it make Great
Hol up
Wait
I been peeping
How they concur
And divide
Separate the man
And women
So the babies don’t survive
Kill the seed
You don’t see
What they been doing
On the side
They been tryna
Catch us slipping
I refuse to let it slide
Know your worth
Go and get every dollar you deserve
Know your worth
Get every nickel
Out they wallet and their purse
Know your worth
From the earth
Til your body in reverse
Know your worth
God created the body out of dirt
HOOK 1:
From the dirt
I ain’t looking for a ticket
I ain’t with it
On the day a nigga get it
Know I did it
From the dirt
I ain’t into making wishes
See the difference is
I’m down to do the dishes
Don’t forget it
VERSE 2:
They know
Who working the hardest
Running the field
I’m gaining the yardage
Treated like dirt
From the very beginning
But God is a hell of an artist
Needed like dirt
From the very beginning
But they did not
Want us to harvest
Cracker been giving us crumbs
Sweeping it under the carpet
While they was
Shopping at Whole Foods
We had to take out the garbage
Took it and made it some soul food
Its dirt in that pan
But don’t wash it
That’s inside
All of our sauces
Got dirt on our hands
In the process
The cards that was dealt
Didn’t help
But give me some credit bruh
What’s in your wallet
Dirty money in ya gauntlet
Kill the pig
With the omelet
They got stains on they blouses
We bought to air out the laundry
They putting mud on the vinyl
Tryna get Richie
Off Lionel
Put him in bars
And put his women on display
She making it spiral
If you gone do it
Then own it
Never play with
The opponent
I don’t condone it
They paying minimum wage
And ain’t offering you a bonus
Know your worth
Dirt Cheap
Give me my coin
I don’t want a token
This for the bodies
They threw in the ocean
This how we rocking
Don’t go with the motion
HOOK 2:
From the dirt
I ain’t looking for a ticket
I ain’t with it
On the day a nigga get it
Know I did it
From the dirt
I ain’t into making wish
See the difference is
I’m down to do the dishes
Don’t forget it
BEAT SWITCH…
VERSE 3:
The best place to start
Is admitting
That you don’t know how
It’s Titanic
When the boat go down
If you don’t let me know
They ain’t teach you
How to swim
Then we both gon drown
Wait
Sea I’m shore
I should float on now
Person, places, and things
Dirty finger prints
Appear on the screen
Guilty as charged
But they fleeing the scene
I had my face in the book
Sorry I ain’t see ya meme
I’m posted up with my family
I ain’t posting a thing
How you gone hold it down
For the people
But can’t see eye to eye
With ya blood
We living
In a horror movie
And you holdin the grudge
Doing them dirty
Dragging them
Through the mud
It’s apart the plan
We dropped the ball
But we picking it up
It’s a war going on outside
Case you were wondering
Figured me and my son
Should prolli spend the summer in
Teach’em what I learned from the dirt
I was covered in
You can either grow from it
Or get buried under it
