GRASS AND DIRT - Luke Christopher

So why do we hide?

And why do we fight

If in the end, we’re just grass and dirt?

Grass and dirt

Why do we hide?

And why do we fight

If in the end, we’re just grass and dirt?

Hey

Ooh, you are

So drop your pride, child

'Cause we all gon' be stepped on anyway, yeah

Yeah, yeah

I remember when my grammy said, «Little man, you got a gift

But if you keep it to yourself then it’s just gonna die within»

I should have told her then that I’ve have had a plan

I was gonna treat the world like everyone was fam

But that’s when school started and I was pepper in the salt shaker

Looking for a friend, first time I met a hater

See, I couldn’t understand 'cause I knew he was a faker

What I ever do to him?

What’s the reason for that anger?

So why do we hide?

And why do we fight

If in the end, we’re just grass and dirt?

Grass and dirt

Why do we hide?

And why do we fight

If in the end, we’re just grass and dirt?

Hey

Ooh, you are

So drop your pride, child

'Cause we all gon' be stepped on anyway, yeah

Yeah, so that’s by when I realize that everybody has a choice

You can shut up and be quiet, or you can speak up and make noise

But if you plan on making noise then you better have a voice, man

And always speak the truth, that’s something no one can avoid, man

And I’m tired of all the conflict

Are we really blind enough to not know that we bonded

And know that in a hundred years or less that all that’s gon' be left

Is a little bit of grass and dirt, your legacy, and whoever comes next
