Dirt Off Your ShoulderLying From You (live) - live

When I pretend
Everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see
When I pretend
I can forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just 'cause I know I can
But I can't pretend this is the way it will stay
I'm just
[Trying to bend the truth]
I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be
So I'm
Lying my way from you
If you feeling like a pimp nigga, go on, brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, go on, brush your shoulders off
Niggas is crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you, get that dirt off your shoulders
I probably owe it to y'all
probably be locked by the force
Tryin to hustle some things
that go with the porsch
Feeling no remorse
feeling like my hand was forced
middle finger to the Law
nigga, gripping my balls
Stab the ladies they love me,
from the bleachers they screaming
all the ballers is bouncing
they like the way I be leanin'
all the rappers be hatin'
off the track that I'm makin'
but all the hustlers, they love it
just to see one of us make it
came from the bottom of bottom
to the top of the pops
nigga run through Japan
and I'm straight up the block
like a running back, get it man
I'm straight off the block
I could run it back nigga cuz I'm straight with the ROC
(Chorus)
If you feeling like a pimp nigga, go on, brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, go on, brush your shoulders off
Niggas is crazy baby, don' t forget that boy told you, get that dirt off your shoulders
(4x) Yougotta get that dirt off your shoulders (4x)
(4x) You gotta get that dirt off your shoulders (4x)
(4x) You gotta get that dirt off your shoulders (4x)
(4x) You gotta get that dirt off your shoulders (4x)
Ya homie holdin' position
in the kitchen with soda
i just whipped up a watch
tryin to get me a rover
tryin to stretch out the coka
like a wrestler, yes sir
keep the heckler close
you know them smokers'll test ya
but like, 52 cards went out
im through dealing now
52 bars come out
now you feel 'em now
52 cars roll out
remove ceiling in case
52 broads come out
now you chillin with a boss bitch
of course , SC on the sleeve
at the forty-forty club
ESPN on the screen
I paid a grip for the jeans
plus the slippers is clean
no chrome on the wheels
I'm a grown up for real G
(Chorus)
I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk of who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that and this again
So I pretended up a person who was fitting in
And now you think this person really is me and I'm
(trying to bend the truth)
But the more I push
The more I'm pulling away
'cause I'm
Lying my way from you
(no, no turning back now)
I want to be pushed aside
So let me go
(no, no turning back now)
Let me take back my life
I'd rather be all alone
(no turning back now)
Anywhere on my own
Cause I can see
(no, no turning back now)
The very worst part of you
The very worst part of you
Is me
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me
Like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me
Like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me
Like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me
Like this
You
(no turning back now)
I want to be pushed aside
So let me go
(no, no turning back now)
Let me take back my life
I'd rather be all alone
(no turning back now)
Anywhere on my own
Cause I can see
(no, no turning back now)
The very worst part of you
The very worst part of you
Is me
