Текст пісні Dirt - Shahmen

Dirt

I was born by the beach
Water 'round my bones
First heartbeat became the 808 tone
Speech came later, gets greater as I grow
Peace to the haters and a prayer for my foes
Love to my family and my family keeps grow’n'
Death to the vanity cause damn it, we gold
Turn into rust and then into dust
Carved in ebony with an elephant tusk
All the world’s a stage, see the rows of names
Everyone’s a child playing out the game
I know I’m just the same
Desire is the flame
High on fire and I’m tired of my ways
Open up the blinds, hangin' in my eyes
Windows are closed, open up to life
See a tree grow, tree grows in size
See a body rot, I’m reminded of my time
Stories I ain’t told still hidden in my mind
Watch it unfold like treasure that I find
See a tree grow, tree grows in size
See a body rot, I’m reminded of my time
Now I live in these beats
No matter where I roam
Wander down the streets 'till I make it back home
Sand from the beach still stuck between my toes
My hands and my feet buildin' buildings of stone
Face to the sky with a breeze through my hair
Friends that are gone, I’ll find you right here
I don’t look to dirt when I know you’re in the air
Not another fool who thinks life should be fair
God’s a referee with a whistle in his mouth
He blows every time there’s a foul or time-out
Stuck in the trap well it’s time we climbed out
Bustin' off my gat towards the diamonds in my mouth
Found hip-hop in the temple of my room
Every day I build while the symbol turn to runes
Standin' on the brick that used to be your tomb
Pourin' out a drop from the bottle of my booze
Used to be dirt, grew into a plant
Once was an animal, now I’m just a man
Dreams still intangible, heart up in my hands
This will be the light for the darkness in my head
Used to be dirt, grew into a plant
Once was an animal, now I’m just a man
Dreams still intangible, heart up in my hands
This will be the life for the darkness in my head
