Verse 1]
I was born with a splinter in my tongue
Talkin’ crooked since the day I begun
Mama prayed, daddy drank ‘til he spit
Now I’m raised on rust, raised on grit
Got a match in my pocket and blood on my boots
Truth don’t shine when it’s covered in suits
I ain’t polished, I ain’t pretty
But I’ll show you real — that nitty gritty
⸻
[Chorus]
I ain’t clean, I ain’t polite
I bite my words and I bark all night
This ain’t gold — it’s gas and spit
But I make fire, and I don’t quit
You want real? Then come get with me
Down in the mud — where it’s nitty gritty
⸻
[Verse 2]
Got calloused hands and a riot mind
I don’t follow signs, I redraw the lines
I ain’t tryin’ to be your savior, son
But I’ll dance on the grave when the deal is done
Every scar is a verse I scream
I bleed blues and I dream mean
You want soft? Don’t come near me
This is sweat, smoke, and the nitty gritty
⸻
[Chorus]
I ain’t clean, I ain’t polite
I bite my words and I bark all night
This ain’t gold — it’s gas and spit
But I make fire, and I don’t quit
You want truth? Then come dig with me
Right through the bones — where it’s nitty gritty
⸻
[Bridge – Breakdown / Spoken or Half-Sung]
This ain’t Nashville clean or L.A. smooth
This is busted amps and shattered tooth
This is back-alley sermons, barefoot fights
Bottle-fed pain and holy spite
⸻
[Final Chorus – Big & Raw]
I ain’t clean, I ain’t polite
I shake the cage and I love the bite
This ain’t gold — it’s grit and spit
But I play loud, and I don’t quit
You want soul? Then burn with me
All the way down — where it’s nitty gritty
⸻
[Outro – Fading growl]
Yeah…
Where it’s nitty gritty…
Come find me there.
