Dirt
Emma Blackery Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(I've got dirt on you
I've got dirt on you
I've got dirt on you
I've got, I've got, I've got)


I was having such a good time
By the pool, sipping on wine
Then you came on Twitter saying I'm bitter
(Honey have you looked in the mirror?)
Never thought you would stoop so low
How far down will you go
On me, online, all the time
Can't write you back, gotta catch my flight


I'm going somewhere new
Somewhere you've never been to
This altitude ain't the only thing I got over you


You know I got dirt on you
Don't make me spill it
I've got tea for two
And bitch I'm gonna sip it
No, you know somebody's gonna come out of this fight on top
It's gonna be you with the bruises
Cause I've got dirt on you


(I've got dirt on you
I've got dirt on you
I've got dirt on, I've got, I've got
I've got dirt on you)


Now, you're up in my face, getting irate
You were so sweet, what changed?
Guess things go sour
After they pass their sell-by date (ooh)
The sun is casting rays
So let me serve some shade
Using my name for fame
And yet you say you're self made honey


And when I count to three
You'd best be on your knees
Don't you try coming for me
Cause I'm the bitch who keeps her receipts


You know I got dirt on you
Don't make me spill it
I've got tea for two
And bitch I'm gonna sip it
No, you know somebody's gonna come out of this fight on top
It's gonna be you with the bruises
Cause I've got dirt on you


(I've got dirt on you
I've got dirt on you
I've got dirt on, I've got, I've got
I've got dirt on you)


(I've got dirt on you
I've got dirt on you
I've got dirt on, I've got, I've got
I've got dirt on you)


If you keep looking then you're gonna find me
You turn it around on me, so I turn it around on you (hey)
If you keep looking, you won't like what you see
Keep pushing your lies on me, gonna show that I'm bulletproof


(1, 2, 3)


You know I got dirt on you
Don't make me spill it
I've got tea for two
And bitch I'm gonna sip it
No, you know somebody's gonna come out of this fight on top
It's gonna be you with the bruises
Cause I've got dirt on you


(I've got dirt on you
I've got dirt on you
I've got dirt on, I've got, I've got
I've got dirt on you)


(I've got dirt on you
I've got dirt on you




I've got dirt on, I've got, I've got
I've got, I've got, I've got)

Overall Meaning

In "Dirt," Emma Blackery addresses a person who has been talking about her online, questioning why they are trying to bring her down. She starts by saying that she was having a good time before she saw the person's negative tweets, and wonders why they would stoop so low as to tweet negative things about her. Emma knows that she can't respond to them at the moment because she has to catch a flight, so she decides to go to a new place where the person hasn't been. She flips it around and says that she has dirt on the person, and she's not afraid to spill it. She also makes it clear that she's the type of person who keeps receipts and that someone is going to come out of their fight on top, and it will be the person with the bruises because Emma has the upper hand.


Throughout the song, Emma refutes the things the person has said about her and makes it clear that she's not going to take it lying down. She asserts herself, pointing out that the person has used her name for fame and that they aren't self-made as they claim to be. She reminds them that they don't want to be on her bad side because she has proof of their wrongdoing, and Emma also shows that she's not going to back down when someone tries to come for her.

I can't believe this is the same person who was sat in her bedroom at her dad's house making crazy YouTube videos with different colour hair each week, this song may not be my style but I am so damn proud and happy for how far she's come, I hope her music continues to grow because her voice is incredible and the world deserves to hear it

learning that this cost £15,000 is insane, holy shit.

Music videos are fucking expensive. People need to get paid and dozens of people worked on this
