The Dirt - Benjamin Ingrosso

Lyrics by：Valentin Brunel/Hampus Lindvall/Benjamin Ingrosso/Markus Sepehrmanesh/Didrik Franzén

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

Yeah

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
