The Dirt

Back in the days they used to call me a criminal
回首过去，他们曾唾弃我
Running from the police, hanging with the homies
从条子那里脱身，若无其事的与家人在街上闲逛
Gunning my way, getting high of the chemichals
一路狂飙，在化学用品里变得愈加兴奋
I was only sixteen, keep it on streets

Ah uhh, lord know I’ve come so far

Ah uhh, at least imma touch the stars

Some things always brings me back to earth
某些东西又会让我回到地心引力之中
And I’m back to get in the dirt
我回来了，再次隐身污秽
