Own That Dirt

Intro

Yeah…

Ain’t runnin’ no more

Nah

808s and barbed wire

Verse 1 (Country tone)

I been hidin’ in the dark of a one-stop town

Blamin’ bad luck, pointin’ fingers all around

Mama said, “Son, that mirror don’t lie”

But I kept lookin’ past it, chasin’ alibis

Got scars from choices I pretended weren’t mine

Dust on my name, guilt on my spine

I tried to outrun it in a Chevy too fast

But your past rides shotgun, yeah it sticks like that

Pre-Chorus

You can drown it in a bottle, bury it in a lie

But the truth got roots, and it don’t die

Chorus (Trap hook)

Don’t run from your bullshit, stand in it

Own that dirt, yeah, man up, plant in it

Every bad move, every bridge you burned

That’s the fire, let it teach you, let it hurt

Bass knockin’ loud like the sins I kept

But I’m breathin’ real now, no mask, no debt

Don’t run from your bullshit, don’t fake that shine

Face it, break it, make it yours—yeah, that’s growth time

Verse 2 (Trap influence)

808s hummin’ like my thoughts at night

Demons got receipts, yeah, they know I ain’t right

Talked big game, but I folded under pressure

Chasin’ quick wins, dodgin’ self-measure

Social feed clean, but my soul was cluttered

Said “I’m built different,” but I still self-sabotaged, stuttered

Truth hit hard when the circle got thin

Ain’t nobody left when you keep playin’ pretend

Pre-Chorus

You can flex for the crowd, keep the pain outta sight

But the weight comes back heavy when you lay down at night

Chorus

Don’t run from your bullshit, stand in it

Own that dirt, yeah, man up, plant in it

Every bad move, every bridge you burned

That’s the fire, let it teach you, let it hurt

Bass knockin’ loud like the sins I kept

But I’m breathin’ real now, no mask, no debt

Don’t run from your bullshit, don’t fake that shine

Face it, break it, make it yours—yeah, that’s growth time

Bridge (Reflective / Country)

Ain’t no halo waitin’ on a perfect man

Just a second chance if you understand

You ain’t what you did, but you are what you do

When the blame stops here, that’s when you break through

Verse 3 (Redemption)

So I dug real deep, found truth in the mess

Took the Ls, signed my name to the stress

Apologized loud, changed quiet habits

Stopped feedin’ the wolves, started feedin’ my balance

Now it’s slow grind, no shortcuts taken

Every sunrise feels hard-earned, sacred

Still flawed, yeah, but I stand up straight

When you own your shit, it don’t own you, man

Final Chorus (Bigger, confident)

I ain’t runnin’ from my bullshit, I’m standin’ in it

Turned that dirt to roots, put my brand in it

Every dark day, every wrong I learned

Built a better me from the lessons burned

Bass still knock, but my soul got depth

I ain’t scared of truth, I invest in self

Yeah, I faced it, broke it, made it mine

That’s a better man on a hard-earned line

Outro

Yeah…

Growth ain’t clean

But it’s real

And real lasts.
