[English]

Girl, why you talk so slick? I can't recover from this

I keep on bubblin' with it (with it, with it, with it, with it)

Land on the charts and you strugglin' with it

Get this bitch jumpin' like Jiminy Cricket

I'm sponsored by Disney, yeah, sponsored by Disney

Dirt

...

It's dirt (it's dirt, it's dirt, it's dirt, it's dirt)

...

It's dirt

Shake it, shake it, shake it, go

Shake it, shake it, shake it, go

Shake it, shake it, shake it, go

Shake it, shake it, shake it up, it's dirt

Shake it, shake it, shake it, go

Shake it, shake it, shake it, go

Shake it, shake it, shake it, go

Shake it, shake it, shake it up, it's dirt

...

And you know what it is

Dirt, uh, look

Don't call me to kick it

I ain't with it, they throwin' the towel in

I ain't finished, I know what the round is

I can feel it repellin' these dickridin'-ass spirits

Spit like a rumor, but live like a bigot

Don't make me reload and Lee Cheney these bitches

I married my glock, no one miss us

Conservative throat, she know where the liquor is

Wait, wait, wait, it's dirt (it's dirt)

It's wait, wait, wait

I love my house (my house), I love my car (my car)

I love these hoes, I love this cash (this cash)

I love these stars (these stars), I love my fame

I love my riches, I love these bars (these bars)

I love this, I love the fame, I love it

Dirt (uh)

I love the hate

I love the drama, I love the fake

I love these hoes, they love my face

I love this money every time I cake, uh, it's dirt

Shake it, shake it, shake it, go

Shake it, shake it, shake it, go

Shake it, shake it, shake it, go

Shake it, shake it, shake it up, go

...

Dirt

...

It's dirt

...

It's dirt (it's dirt, it's dirt), I love the hate

I love the drama, I love the fake

It's dirt, they love my face

I love this money every time I cake

It's dirt

Shake it, shake it, shake it, go

Shake it, shake it, shake it, go

Shake it, shake it, shake it, go

Shake it, shake it, shake it up, it's dirt

Shake it, shake it, shake it, go

Shake it, shake it, shake it, go

Shake it, shake it, shake it, go

Shake it, shake it, shake it up, it's dirt (dirt-dirt-dirt...)
