Gettin' Dirty

I walked inside the Arco on Division
Head on a swivel
For opposition cause many men
Have been caught slipping
Inside them apartments
Where that iron get sparked, click
When outside in the darkness
At all times you a target
And survival's a hard pitch
In the alphabet avenues
Where gunplay has replaced
Everything that your hands could prove
I wasn't never a saint
But I did what I had to do
So now because of His Grace
I give back in the land I grew
Come on
From the dirt my generation code was kick door
Shake down don't make a move
Or a bodies hit the floor
Slide thru backstreets
Pan handling baggies
I ain't choose to push this product
I could've played for the Aggies
Dirt made pounding the pavement my palms sandy
Never dolo push a button and
50 brothas surround me
Cali native Gold Body
Bounce out what you know about heem
In a lane of my own
Ain't worried bout nobody
Hol' on

Uh
From the Westside to the Eastside
Been going in since, I was knee high
It's getting dirty out here
Yeah, it's getting dirty out here
Yeah
Battle scars all over my skin
You can try me and I promise I'll win
It's getting dirty out here
Yeah it's getting dirty out here

Whoever said ain't nothin big about the AV
They L-I-E'd
Applyin' pressure on a regular
But I don't speak I make
Make moves not excuses
I am not yo' breed
That's why I'm saucy wit the chips like
Nacho cheese
See I'm a good fella
I cracked the code like Davinci
And now My joog's betta
Life full of blessings and lessons
I never could settle
Ain't goin back to da trenches
And you can't reference the dirt
Without puttin' me in the mentions
It's MobTheBarber
I've been doing this for a minute
I'm talking since I was knee high
Since A came with the B side
Before Bey had the bee hive
Before them rappers was mumbling
Since the beef with the east side
Lil me on Da Brat and the Queen vibes
But yeah now I'm really on that
So tell me who better than me
No one in the city gets like this
I should've been given the key
The way that I flow on a track
Can't bite this
I was blessed and it come with a fee
Tryna get the bag and then flip that
Give it back to the people in need

Uh
From the Westside to the Eastside
Been going in since, I was knee high
It's getting dirty out here
Yeah, it's getting dirty out here
Yeah
Battle scars all over my skin
You can try me and I promise I'll win
It's getting dirty out here
Yeah it's getting dirty out here

I'm a Product of my class
Gentrified by a city tryna redesign
Redefine
Read between the lines
They on demon time
But we ain't letting evil
Be the Reason for defeat
We can see the signs
Even when they tryna be discrete
History repeats
Really we just product of receipts
We like modern day slaves so to speak
My city is from a city
Cause the culture the same
I was born in LA
But I was AV Raised
A young dirty mutha, bruh
Straight up from the bricks
Money motivated motor city
You know how I get
Chickens and a flock of ducks
Swan diving on my strip
And if I let them birds chirp
I'd be the man around this b****
Happy to be the
One that they needed
I told ya folk
I got the demeanor
Take me to ya leader
I'm ret to go
Me I been a vibe
Since I was a knee high
Girbauds and Levi's
East coast Westside, Joy Road
It's getting dirty out here, whoa
Gotta watch your back
Them boys lurking up out here
In the valley dirt
Where most of these people slide
And act weird
I been keeping my back again the wall
Imma keep my eyes peeled
So them fakes don't come near, whoa
Move in one way it ain't gone be nothing
Gotta move around them crash outs
That always start something
Gotta put my brain up on a move
Imma get the streets jumpin
Imma stay up in this mode
They really gone hate to see me coming
It's dirty out here
It's been dirty
All across the world
But the AV got the award for
Dirtiest curbs, nerdiest verbs
The words to describe us is herb
Growing from the trenches next to
Tumbleweeds and the firs
Joshua trees, black and brown
Holding the peace
Soul of cities, be uniting for we
While we uniting on beats
Raising frequencies evading the beast
Planting seeds for the future that's blessed by we
Yah bless
It's gettin' dirty out here, yeah
It's gettin' dirty out here
It's Big Westside from the sandbox to the big screen
I'm AV
Doing free gigs and winning contests
I been hustlin' pay me
I'm a big dawg but I stay low
That's Bulldogs, '09
Imma show you how to stay out the way
And then pop out when it's yo time
9 people on one track
My God said it so I did that
And everybody gone eat
This is how you supposed to give back
Lancaster to Palmdale
Littlerock out to Quartz Hill
Imma keep grinding for the dirt
Until my last breathe I won't chill
Let's go

It's gettin' dirty out here, yeah
It's gettin' dirty out here
