[Verse 1]
They watch my steps from the curb to the door
Dirty badge, dirty hands, they want more and more
Plant a lie, try to frame my name
Then smile in court like it’s all a game
I seen the vans roll slow on my block
Seen the snakes in the suits do the same old talk
They want me boxed in, buried in paper
But I read every move, I don’t trust no savior
[Pre-Chorus]
I been dragged through mud
Still I’m standing upright
You can dig that hole
I’m a ghost in the night
You can try that trap
You can flash that fear
But I’m still here
Yeah, I’m still here
[Chorus]
Dirty cops, dirty feds
Try to put me under
Dirty cops, dirty feds
I came up from the thunder
They can’t bury me
They can’t bury me
I keep my name in the street
They can’t bury me
[Verse 2]
Cruise by twice, then they circle again
Phone light on my face, got a tail on the wind
They twist every word when I speak to the press
Turn truth to a weapon, turn stress to a mess
But I keep my circle small, keep my eyes on wide
Know who’s real when the pressure climb
No hero talk, just survival and grit
I took every hit, still I won’t submit
[Pre-Chorus]
I been dragged through mud
Still I’m standing upright
You can dig that hole
I’m a ghost in the night
You can try that trap
You can flash that fear
But I’m still here
Yeah, I’m still here
[Chorus]
Dirty cops, dirty feds
Try to put me under
Dirty cops, dirty feds
I came up from the thunder
They can’t bury me
They can’t bury me
I keep my name in the street
They can’t bury me
[Bridge]
Whole block seen it
Whole block know
False charge on the table
But the truth gon’ show
No chain on my soul
No fear in my chest
They can lock the door
But I pass the test
[Chorus]
Dirty cops, dirty feds
Try to put me under
Dirty cops, dirty feds
I came up from the thunder
They can’t bury me
They can’t bury me
I keep my name in the street
They can’t bury me
