In The Dirt Lyrics

In The Dirt - Russ

...

Excuse me man, my voice a little gone, man

But uh, I had to get my head right, man, for real, for real

Take back control (yeah)

I don't think a lot of us realize the negative patterns

That we get ourselves into, and uh

We're the only ones that can pull ourselves out, you feel me? (Come on)

Yeah

I read some books to start my year off

My momma uses hundred dollar bills to wipe her tears off

Dad be talkin' my ear off

I'm lucky that I have him though

I know I should call him more, I'm workin' on my balance so

I'm not such a workaholic, I'm just obsessed with progress

Victory's subjective in this game, it's a fuckin' contest

Everybody's brainwashed, we ain't on the same time

But look up at the same clock

Different destinations, but we get off at the same stop

Everyone confused, we don't know how we ended up where we at

But we refuse to take accountability for the mindset that we choose

We forgot to lock the door, the devil's takin' off his shoes

Gettin' comfy, plantin' seeds now (seeds now)

And we wonder why our garden's got weeds now (hol' on)

It's hard to breathe, anxiety don't let us sleep now (oh-oh-oh)

But we forget we got the key to be free now

So let's be free now

I ain't gonna let the devil win, nah, never

I ain't gonna let the devil in, nah, never

Feelin' worried, that's the devil at work

On God, I'ma put him in the dirt, in the dirt, in the dirt

I ain't gonna let the devil win, nah, never

I ain't gonna let the devil in, nah, never

Feelin' worried, that's the devil at work

On God, I'ma put him in the dirt, in the dirt, in the dirt

I was overindulgent in food, pussy and liquor

Bad habits made the devil the grow bigger, go figure

I had no resistance (none), therefore no restrictions (none)

On the energy that occupied my soul's existence (Damn)

I was drifting 'cause I didn't have definite aim, devilish game

Only wins with a negligent brain, finesse the reins

Out my hand, control my thoughts (thoughts)

Fear and jealousy, my biggest enemy was moi

Knew that I was lost, had to find my path again

Had to figure out where I was goin', draw a map again

Cut back on the habits, I challenged my willpower (yeah)

Mental self-control and discipline is real power (real power)

I was angry, lustful, gluttonous, distrustful

'Til I woke up and said, "None of this is Russell"

Give me me back, I took the keys back

And changed the locks so I don't relapse

Won't let the devil creep back in, believe that (yeah)

I ain't gonna let the devil win, nah, never

I ain't gonna let the devil in, nah, never

Feelin' worried, that's the devil at work

On God, I'ma put him in the dirt, in the dirt, in the dirt

I ain't gonna let the devil win, nah, never

I ain't gonna let the devil in, nah, never

Feelin' worried, that's the devil at work

On God, I'ma put him in the dirt, in the dirt, in the dirt

I ain't gonna let the devil win, nah, never

I ain't gonna let the devil in, nah, never

Feelin' worried, that's the devil at work

On God, I'ma put him in the dirt

In the dirt, in the dirt (in the dirt, yeah)

I ain't gonna let the devil win, nah, never

I ain't gonna let the devil in, nah, never

Feelin' worried, that's the devil at work

On God, I'ma put him in the dirt, in the dirt, in the dirt
