[Intro – dusty organ hum, slow 808 thud] Dusk settles on the backroad Screen door creaks and moans [Verse 1 – twangy guitar lick, deep bassline] Mama’s old radio spittin’ scratchy tunes Boots caked red from the clay I’ve been through Paid my dues in the heat of the sun Every scar’s a story that I ain’t done [Chorus – swelling organ, layered vocal harmonies] Down in the dirt where the roots run deep Soul in my bones, trap in my beat Every struggle’s a song I can’t keep Down in the dirt, that’s where I breathe [Verse 2 – muted horn stab, tighter 808s] Broken promises and empty jars Church bells ringin’ through the bar I’ve crawled through fire and I’ve walked through rain Ain’t no shame in the game I play [Chorus – intensified organ, gritty ad-libs] Down in the dirt where the roots run deep Soul in my bones, trap in my beat Every tear’s a seed that I can reap Down in the dirt, that’s where I’ll be [Bridge – sparse piano keys, soft background vocals] They say I’m too rough, too far gone But I know where my strength comes from Dirt under nails, fire in my chest Ain’t no way I’m gonna rest [Solo – bluesy guitar bend, building 808 tension] (Instrumental Solo) [Chorus – full band, maximum soulful intensity] Down in the dirt where the roots run deep Soul in my bones, trap in my beat Every scar’s a crown that I can keep Down in the dirt, that’s where I’ll sleep [Outro – fading organ, slow 808 fade] Dusk settles on the backroad Screen door creaks and moans
