Benjamin Ingrosso – The Dirt Lyrics
Back in the days
They used to call me a criminal
Running from the police
Hanging with the homies
Got in my way
Getting high of the chemicals
I was only 16
Kicked out on the streets
My mama told me
If you wanna make it
You better figure out
Your life before they take it
Yeah, my mama told me
You gotta get smarter
Or you’re gonna end up in a cell
Just like your father
Ooh, lord knows I’ve tried so hard
Ooh, lord know I’ve come so far
Ooh-oh, each time I touch the stars
Some things always brings me back to earth
And I’m back digging in the dirt
And I’m back digging in the dirt
I’m coming of age
And they call it a miracle
I’m alive and breathing
There’s gotta be a reason
I’m still here
So I pick up the pace
Tryna make me some money, oh
Come up with a scheme now
A dirty or a clean now, yeah
‘Cause my mama tells me
You better make it
If not for yourself
Then you should do it for your lady
Yeah, my mama tells me
You gotta get smarter
You’ve got a son and in a month
You’ll have a daughter
Ooh, lord knows I’ve tried so hard
Ooh, lord know I’ve come so far
Ooh-oh, each time I touch the stars
Some things always brings me back to earth
And I’m back digging in the dirt
And I’m back digging in the dirt
