AfroLegacy - In the Dirt lyrics

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

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

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

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

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
