Yeah (yeah)
Say it again (uh)

They said I wouldn’t make it past the gate
Said my name carried too much weight
Too rough, too loud, too wrong
Still here, still movin’ on
They tried to bury me in maybe
Tried to slow me down with labels
Funny how the same ones doubt
Say my name louder now

I ain’t mad, I’m just aware
Truth don’t fade, it wear and tear

Still dirt on my name (yeah)
Still dust on my boots
If you look close, you can see
What I had to push through
They throw shade, I throw flame
Let the truth bulletproof
Still dirt on my name
But I wear it like proof (uh)

I don’t need the nod or the crown
I earned respect by stickin’ around
I been doubted, bent, delayed
Still showed up anyway
Every scar got a receipt
Every mile paid in full
If you hear dirt when they speak
That’s the sound of survival

I don’t scrub what built my spine
Let ‘em talk, I’ll take my time

Still dirt on my name (yeah)
Still dust on my boots
If you look close, you can see
What I had to push through
They throw shade, I throw flame
Let the truth bulletproof
Still dirt on my name
But I wear it like proof

If they never understand
I’m okay with that
I ain’t here to be forgiven
I’m here to last

Still dirt on my name (yeah, yeah)
Still proud where I’m from
Every lie turned to weight
Every loss made me numb
Now I stand in the light
With my past in my boots
Still dirt on my name
But I wear it like proof

Yeah…
Say it again…
Still standin’.
