[Intro: Doc Doom]
Yeah, it's the world's greatest
YEAH
Black Knights
Yeah
Come from the dirt on up
Straight nuttin', n***a
Started from nothin'
'n***a'
Zip, zero, mothaf**in' zilch
Comin', straight shinin'
Do that sh**
[Chorus 2X: singer]
Startin' From the Dirt Up
n***as gettin' murdered
Livin' in these ghetto streets
Searchin' for a come up
How can we come up?
Livin' in these ghetto streets
Startin' From the Dirt Up
n***as gettin' murdered
Livin' in these ghetto streets
Searchin' for a come up
How can we come up?
Livin' in these ghetto streets
[Doc Doom]
The only way's up
Cuz a n***a been down too long
Lost peers and shed tears
A n***a done frown too long
In these ghetto streets
Where we settle Beef
With metal heats
So many murdered fleets
I can't sleep
We peddle rocks to eat
At street value
Which is dirt cheap
Hustle amongst
Thieves
And creep
Snakes and chiefs
That'll do anything
To makes ends meet
That's why my family ties
Bloodlines
Run deep through my veins
But it's hard to feel the stress
Of another man's pain
Through the rain
Comes the sunshine
It's hard to survive
In the Hub
With just one nine
That's why my grind
Will never stop
Til me and my n***as
Are sittin' on yachts
Pollyin' stocks
From the Dirt Up
[singer]
Ohh.. ohh.. ohh..
[Rugged Monk]
I woke up quick
It was about a quarter to noon
Realized a n***a had to be in Compton soon
I never listened to my mother
It went through one ear
And out the other
My style
As a juvenile
I ran with a gang
Slang in the meanwhile
Just to have change
Fascinated by the street life,
Roll on thangs
White walls
Hundred spokes
I never rock'd murder-ones
Cuz I sport'd locs
Chill'd wit locs
40's
Chronic weed
And the wet smoke
Cuz
I'm a gangsta at havin' fun
I never left the SOUTH
Without packin' a gun
I put fools in check
Pull triggers
Hot slugs eject
From the Dirt Up
[Chorus 2X]
Startin' From the Dirt Up
n***as gettin' murdered
Livin' in these ghetto streets
Searchin' for a come up
How can we come up?
Livin' in these ghetto streets
Startin' From the Dirt Up
n***as gettin' murdered
Livin' in these ghetto streets
Searchin' for a come up
How can we come up?
Livin' in these ghetto streets
[G-Twin]
From the Dirt Up
n***as ain't knowin'
What we be doin'
West Coast, what?
k**a Bees
Rip'n and Ru'n
Keepin' it true in
Any form, shape or fashion
Holler at my n***as
'bout some drama
It's on and crackin'
We stay mashin'
Whatever happen
It's on
co*k my pistol
Let the bullets whistle
Straight to ya dome
Leavin' haters alone
Cuz we don't f** with fake n***as
Game recognize game
That's why we clicked up with RZA
Give a n***a just a minute
To spit a few lines
And watch me flip it
Like a bird
Cuz I want the whole nine
And I holds mine
Ain't no time
To sleep where we hangin'
That's why I'm bangin'
With these n***as
Yellin', Knights or Nathan
From the Dirt Up
[singer]
Ohh.. ohh.. ohh..
[Crisis]
Yeaaaaah!
While you n***as star-struck
Me and my n***as
Stickin' stars up
Steppin' to us
Best keep your guard up
At all times
Raw rhymes
Delivered in the purest forms
They thought a n***a
Would be dead or in jail
But yo
I proved um wrong
Movin' on
With the script
Had to flip the script
So I spit the gift
Got 'em frost bit
Frozen stiff
From the Dirt Up
Word up
Nann n***a
Bet' not hurt a
Hair
On my n***a's head
Or
I manifest the murder
Not on wax
But on the crevices
Bumps and cracks
Of the streets
Reality rap
Too much
For ya salary cap
Yo
The flow is priceless
Crisis dominate
Mic devices
Competition enter pumped up
Exit lifeless
For Steppin' to the almighty
Like you really wanna speak
Or beef
With God Body
From the Dirt Up
[Chorus 4X]
Startin' From the Dirt Up
n***as gettin' murdered
Livin' in these ghetto streets
Searchin' for a come up
How can we come up?
Livin' in these ghetto streets
Startin' From the Dirt Up
n***as gettin' murdered
Livin' in these ghetto streets
Searchin' for a come up
How can we come up?
Livin' in these ghetto streets
Startin' From the Dirt Up
n***as gettin' murdered
Livin' in these ghetto streets
Searchin' for a come up
How can we come up?
Livin' in these ghetto streets
Startin' From the Dirt Up
n***as gettin' murdered
Livin' in these ghetto streets
Searchin' for a come up
How can we come up?
Livin' in these ghetto streets
