DJ Chose

I was out there on the hustle

I know you remember me

No more sleepin' on the floor

I got some money finally

Mama don't worry, mama don't worry

I did all this dirt and still ain't dirty

Did all this dirt and still ain't dirty (still ain't dirty)

Baby, I'm on to ya so don't worry (so don't worry)

I'm in the field without no jersey (without no jersey)

Did all this dirt and still ain't dirty

Did all this dirt and still ain't dirty (still ain't dirty)

I came through, popped up on the first day (on the first day)

She say she love me 'cause I'm worthy ('cause I'm worthy)

Did all this dirt and still ain't dirty

Eleven years old I was sittin' on the block

Yeah, my family had a little so I hid it in my sock (in my sock)

Sold them pills like they was Skittles, yeah, I always made a lot

I was always dodgin' twelve, puttin' work in off the clock

Almost got cuffed, it was too much, it was a lot of drama (lot of drama)

It was the streets that raisin' me, had to be dad and mama (dad and mama)

I was young, head strong, wasn't lettin' up (lettin' up)

Disrespectful my demeanor, didn't know who to trust

Now my mama straight, I ain't gotta push no weight

I came from the dirt, now I'm livin' great (from the dirt, livin' great)

Said I wasn't gon' make it, look how hard they hated

Never had enough and now the bank, we break it

(We break it, bitch)

Did all this dirt and still ain't dirty (still ain't dirty)

Baby, I'm on to ya so don't worry (so don't worry)

I'm in the field without no jersey (without no jersey)

Did all this dirt and still ain't dirty

Did all this dirt and still ain't dirty (still ain't dirty)

I came through, popped up on the first day (on the first day)

She say she love me 'cause I'm worthy ('cause I'm worthy)

Did all this dirt and still ain't dirty

Escaped the belly of the beast without a stain on me (stain on me)

Ready for fightin' now my fist, it got that ring on it (name on it)

Boynton Beach out to the hills, how far I came from it (came from it)

Now the whole world sneakin' pictures for the fame of it

Reckless on that show, man that's old news (old news)

Hundred and twenty on that ranch, on my own two (own two)

I did that crime, I beat that case, kept payin' my dues (I'ma my dues)

I did my time, I made them wait, and now I can't lose

Now my mama straight, I ain't gotta push no weight (she's straight, ain't push no weight)

I came from the dirt, now I'm livin' great (from the dirt, bitch I'm livin' great)

Said I wasn't gon' make it, look how hard they hated

Never had enough and now the bank, we break it

(Now we break it, bitch)

Did all this dirt and still ain't dirty (still ain't dirty)

Baby, I'm on to ya so don't worry (so don't worry)

I'm in the field without no jersey (without no jersey)

Did all this dirt and still ain't dirty

Did all this dirt and still ain't dirty (still ain't dirty)

I came through, popped up on the first day (on the first day)

She say she love me 'cause I'm worthy ('cause I'm worthy)

Did all this dirt and still ain't dirty

Key Grammar Structures

• I was out there on the hustle

  ➔ Past Continuous Tense

  ➔ Used to describe an action in progress at a specific time in the past (the time is implied here). The use of **was** before the verb **out** shows this.

• I got some money finally

  ➔ Simple Past Tense

  ➔ Used to describe a completed action in the past. **Got** is the past tense of get.

• I did all this dirt and still ain't dirty

  ➔ Perfect Aspect (Past Simple) & Adverb 'still'

  ➔ The use of **did** emphasizes the completion of the action. **Still** indicates that the state (not being dirty) continues despite the past actions.

• I'm in the field without no jersey

  ➔ Prepositional Phrase & Double Negative

  ➔ The prepositional phrase 'in the field' indicates location. The double negative 'without no' is grammatically incorrect but used for emphasis or stylistic effect. The intended meaning is 'without a jersey'.

• Eleven years old I was sittin' on the block

  ➔ Inversion (Adverbial Phrase at the Beginning)

  ➔ The sentence structure is altered for emphasis. The adverbial phrase 'Eleven years old' comes before the subject, 'I', and the verb, 'was'. This is a stylistic choice.

• Sold them pills like they was Skittles, yeah, I always made a lot

  ➔ Simile & Simple Past with 'always'

  ➔ The use of **like** creates a simile, comparing the pills to Skittles. **Always made** indicates a repeated action in the past, using the simple past with the frequency adverb 'always'.

• Almost got cuffed, it was too much, it was a lot of drama

  ➔ Past Simple, 'Too much' , 'A lot of'

  ➔ Multiple uses of the simple past tense. 'Too much' and 'a lot of' are quantifiers describing the quantity of an experience, indicating it was overwhelming.

• Now my mama straight, I ain't gotta push no weight

  ➔ Simple Present & Contraction with Negation & Modal Verb

  ➔ The use of present simple reflects a current state. 'Ain't' is a non-standard contraction of 'am not'/'is not'/'are not'. 'Gotta' is a colloquial contraction of 'have got to' which can be used as a modal verb to express necessity, here using the negative form.

• I came from the dirt, now I'm livin' great

  ➔ Simple Past & Present Continuous

  ➔ The shift in tenses highlights the transformation. 'Came' shows the past origin, and 'I'm living' shows the current state of thriving.
