Sense - Dirt lyrics

[Verse 1: Bless] I was born by the beach Water 'round my bones First heartbeat became the 808 tone Speech came later, gets greater as I grow Peace to the haters and a prayer for my foes Love to my family and my family keeps grow'n' d**h to the vanity cause damn it, we gold Turn into rust and then into dust Carved in ebony with an elephant tusk All the world's a stage, see the rows of names Everyone's a child playing out the game I know I'm just the same Desire is the flame High on fire and I'm tired of my ways Open up the blinds, hangin' in my eyes Windows are closed, open up to life See a tree grow, tree grows in size See a body rot, I'm reminded of my time Stories I ain't told still hidden in my mind Watch it unfold like treasure that I find See a tree grow, tree grows in size See a body rot, I'm reminded of my time [Verse 2: Bless] Now I live in these beats No matter where I roam Wander down the streets 'till I make it back home Sand from the beach still stuck between my toes My hands and my feet buildin' buildings of stone Face to the sky with a breeze through my hair Friends that are gone, I'll find you right here I don't look to dirt when I know you're in the air Not another fool who thinks life should be fair God's a referee with a whistle in his mouth He blows every time there's a foul or time-out Stuck in the trap well it's time we climbed out Bustin' off my gat towards the diamonds in my mouth Found hip-hop in the temple of my room Every day I build while the symbol turn to runes Standin' on the brick that used to be your tomb Pourin' out a drop from the bottle of my booze [Bridge: BLS] Used to be dirt, grew into a plant Once was an animal, now I'm just a man Dreams still intangible, heart up in my hands This will be the light for the darkness in my head Used to be dirt, grew into a plant Once was an animal, now I'm just a man Dreams still intangible, heart up in my hands This will be the life for the darkness in my head
