Nyck Caution - Dirt On Your Name lyrics

[Intro: Nyck Caution] Yeah, just another kid from the city tryna shine From the city tryna shine Yeah [Verse 1: Nyck Caution] 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 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 censored 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? Clean your image when there's dirt on your name It don’t ever really wash away [Chorus] 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 way Oh, say what you gotta say You know your mama 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 [Verse 2: Nyck Caution] One foot in the door but my other foot fell through the floor In between this future me and the man from before The past I try to ignore always surfaces eventually Momma moved to Florida, was fu*king with me mentally In hindsight it was bittersweet ‘Cause I moved in with my pops and we shared our final memories And then he had to go I think he knew his time was coming and I had to grow This ain't the life that I dreamed about, or maybe it is But when you dream you don’t think about the schemes, you get stuck in between I got love for my team, always fu*king with me Mood swings got me on the verge of sanity 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 [Chorus] 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 way Oh, say what you gotta say You know your mama 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 [Outro] What you want What you need Ayy, ayy, ayy [?] Ayy, ayy, ayy It's just a rainy day It's just a rainy day
