Elli Moore’s “The Dirt” reveals the truth of her life while putting on a mask, and pretending everything is fine when it’s not.
This could highly be a reference to her recent actions against her pervious record label, as she’s hinted also in her previous releases, “LOSER,” and “American Girl Doll”
[Intro]
(LYRE made it)
[Verse 1]
Honey booked and blessed (Amen)
Counting all these checks (Big bens)
Someone this perfect (Goddess)
Couldn't be depressed
I bet she's set for life (I bet she's set for life)
Boarding that jet, red eye
Probably getting some head tonight
But they don't know what it's like (Go, tell 'em)
[Refrain]
I tried and I tried to give 'em my best
To make them think I got it all when there's nothing left
Yeah, I tried and I tried to make it alright
When everything I've been watering kept running dry
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my grass is looking greener
And they're asking for advice
Everybody looking eager
When they're peeking at my side
They don't know it's made of turf
'Cause my flowers died of thirst
And the only thing in my yard is the dirt
[Chorus]
If I can't keep my hands clean
Bitch, I'll give 'em the dirt (Dirt)
If I'm down here on my knees
Bitch, I'll give 'em the dirt (Dirt)
If I seem a little bit messy, have you heard
That the only thing in my yard is the dirt
(Give us the dirt)
[Verse 2]
Fuck, I think I might say too much
I think I might spill my guts
I think I might do some not-so-me type stuff
Might drop my mom's Christian ways
Might drop a couple of names
And none of these hoes are safe
'Cause NDAs can break
[Refrain]
I tried and I tried to give 'em my best
To make them think I got it all when there's nothing left
Yeah, I tried and I tried to make it alright
When everything I've been watering kept running dry
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my grass is looking greener
And they're asking for advice
Everybody looking eager
When they're peeking at my side
They don't know it's made of turf
'Cause my flowers died of thirst
And the only thing in my yard is the dirt
[Chorus]
If I can't keep my hands clean
Bitch, I'll give 'em the dirt (Dirt)
If I’m down here on my knees
Bitch, I'll give 'em the dirt (Dirt)
If I seem a little bit messy, have you heard
That the only thing in my yard is the dirt
[Post-Chorus]
Give us the dirt
Give us the dirt
Give us the dirt
Give us the dirt (Okay)
[Outro]
If I can’t keep my hands clean
Bitch, I’ll give 'em the dirt (Dirt)
If I’m down here on my knees
Bitch, I’ll give 'em the dirt (Dirt)
If I seem a little bit messy, have you heard
That the only thing in my yard is the dirt
