Nyck Caution - Dirt On Your Name Lyrics



Nyck Caution - Dirt On Your Name Lyrics
Official




Yeah (yeah), just another kid from the city tryna shine
(From the city tryna shine)
Yeah

What you see in him that you don't see in me?
I post game like it's TNT
I never Shaq a Fool but I'm still I'm lower than I please to be (yeah)
I'm from an era where you get to where you need to be
By putting in the work but nowadays it isn't easily done
I know we work on the craft
Is there a Heaven for us hip-hop heathens that still didn't crack?
Always think the next track is the best track
But then you got Lil-, blowing up bigger than a meth lab
I guess we blame it on the bad breaks or bad beats
My card was holding up until the river made my hand weak (I'm all in)
So do I fold or do I bluff until I'm getting what I'm owed?
I've almost emptied out my bank roll so adios
Would you rather be an unknown or somebody
That everybody knows for just being okay? (Okay)
Clean your image when there's dirt on your name
It don't ever really wash away

It don't wash away
Oh, say what you gotta say
What would your father say if you shut up and bottled things?
Oh oh, holding up a lot of weight
I can't cooperate, I'm going through a tidal wave
Oh, say what you gotta say
You know your momma pray you save and make a lot of change
Oh oh, it's hard to save for a rainy day when every day's a rainy day

One foot in the door but my other foot fell through the floor (yeah)
In between this future me and the man from before
The past I try to ignore (try to ignore) always surfaces eventually (yeah)
Momma moved to Florida, was f*cking with me mentally (f*cking with me mentally)
In hindsight it was bittersweet (bittersweet)
'Cause I moved in with my pops and we shared our final memories (yeah)
And then he had to go (had to go)
I think he knew his time was coming and I had to grow (true)
This ain't the life that I dreamed about, well maybe it is
But when you dream you don't think about the schemes
You get stuck in between (stuck in between)
I got love for my team, are they f*cking with me? (Are f*cking with me?)
Mood swings got me on the verge of sanity (f*cking going crazy)
Am I a victim to my loyalty? (Yeah)
Am I proud of this man who's staring back at me? (Man in the mirror)
These questions drive me insane
Clean your image when there's dirt on your name
It don't ever really wash away

It don't wash away
Oh, say what you gotta say
What would your father say if you shut up and bottled things?
Oh oh, holding up a lot of weight
I can't cooperate, I'm going through a tidal wave
Oh, say what you gotta say
You know your momma pray you save and make a lot of change
Oh oh, it's hard to save for a rainy day when every day's a rainy day

Ayy, ayy, ayy
(Yeah, ayy)
What you-what you want?
Ayy, ayy, ayy
What you need
Ayy, ayy, ayy
(Can't go no, can't go nowhere)
Ayy, ayy, ayy
It's just a rainy day
It's just a rainy day
