De La Dirt Lyrics
Chorus:
Pride always try to rise up
Gotta quit looking 'round, keep my eyes up
We grown now, time to wise up
Please don't idolize us
Cuz we all "de la Dirt"
Yeah, we all de la Dirt
We all de la dirt (dirt)
We all de la Dirt (yeah)
We from the dust dust dust
Verse 1:
From the dust, wipe me off
Breathed life.. taking off
It don't matter what it cost
Bills paid on the Cross
You would think, after all he did
I would lay it at his feet and hurry Long
But half this baggage I ain't know I had it
Cain't take flight with these "Carry Ons"
(Aww)... what you think of me?
Smh.. I don't care what you thinking see
I was Mr. Perfect in y'all eyes..
But way off from where I need to be
Supposed to be where I'm weak HE strong..
But here I go,, hearing all of y'all..
Like yeah they're right, I'm a WINNER(winter) ...
SPRING, SUMMER.. smh.. I don't ever FALL..
...So now I'm flexin'.. (flexin', flexin')
Hope they all see the muscle
God told my leader "sit him down.."
But he stayed on hush mode..
Freedom riding, no bus load..
Doing everything I want doe..
And now they calling me the Golden Child
Oh no, that's an uh oh..
That's when God spoke up tho
And said you really need to chill son..
You been tryin' "ball out"
Now I gotta put you on the Potters Wheel Son (wilson)

Pride on Edge
God said watch yo step
So, you waiters ain't finna be feeding my head..
Matter fact, bring my check (gone)
Chorus:
Pride always try to rise up
Gotta quit looking 'round, keep my eyes up
We grown now, time to wise up
Please don't idolize us
Cuz we all "de la Dirt"
Yeah, we all de la Dirt
We all de la dirt (dirt)
We all de la Dirt (yeah)
We from the dust dust dust
Verse 2:
It's so funny, funny..How these people actin'
Actin' like they love you But they really actin'
Really they just happy That you stayin' active
With they pretty smiles But it ain't attractive
Say you love me, But it so distractive
Cuz I'm doing works But my love is tacky
If you really loved me You would point it out
And help work it out Like I'm running laps! (But)
Now I'm on this treadmill
Making moves but I ain't moving
I'm like Austin with no "Powers"
But they still say I'm groovy
(Groovy, groovy).. Why?
'Cuz as long as I'm serving it's cooly
But I don't wanna make it to heaven with all these works
And God say he never knew me
And "you lost the purpose of the mission son"
"Gotta re-align ur vision son"
Now they say I'm sittin' high and mighty
But they built the chair that I'm sitting on..
But my lesson, lesson learned though
I am only from the dirt though
When somebody put me on a "mound"
I just hit 'em with the curve ball
You can save it for the bird call
(Brrrrr, brrrr) .. now fly away
I will still accept a compliment
Give thanks, then delete it right away
Cuz now I see it from a higher way
And I done got a little wiser (cuz)
It don't matter they say, i can only be tempted by what I desire..
Chorus:
Pride always try to rise up
Gotta quit looking 'round, keep my eyes up
We grown now, time to wise up
Please don't idolize us
Cuz we all "de la Dirt"
Yeah, we all de la Dirt
We all de la dirt (dirt)
We all de la Dirt (yeah)
We from the dust dust dust
