Dirty Chucks
Futuristic Lyrics

I don’t normally say shit before I go on
I usually don't speak before a performance

But we’ve been all around the country in the dirty chucks nigga, uh.
I have traveled throughout the country, wearing my dirty chucks

Tell a friend, tell a ho, tell your wife nigga
Spread the word to anyone and everyone

Cleanest nigga can’t believe the kicks this nigga perform in
Even the cleanest person wouldn't believe the condition of my shoes

Yo, what’s on my feet is not important, look what I’ve been sportin’
It doesn't matter what shoes I'm wearing, look at what I can do while wearing them

$40 for a pair, man, fuck the Jordans
I don't need expensive Jordans to prove my worth

Dirty chucks that made enough to pay the mortgage at your momma’s house
My worn-out shoes have earned me enough money to pay for a home mortgage

Dirty sluts they wanna fuck ‘cause all the things I rhyme about
Some women are attracted to me because of the topics in my music

I slip ‘em off in the hotel and then she finding out
I take off my shoes in the hotel and women are surprised by their condition

The bed is kinda tall, if she small then she gon’ be climbin’ out
The hotel bed is high, so if the woman is short, she will need to climb out

Chasin’ down a dream is where it started, I ran through 20 pairs the dearly departed
I started chasing my dreams and wore out 20 pairs of shoes along the way

Shit’s retarded, I got holes in em’
My shoes are in terrible condition, with holes in them

Man I did about 30 shows in em’
I performed in these shoes for about 30 shows

Blow hit em’, rain and snow I hit the road and flowed in em’
I wore these shoes through all sorts of weather while traveling and performing

No gimmicks, no image, I’m just a hard worker
I don't rely on gimmicks or image, I just work hard

Bars perfect, looking at my momma like it’s all worth it
My music is perfect and I'm proud of it, making it all worthwhile for my mother

I’ve struggled and I’ve hustled quite enough
I have worked hard and struggled a lot

I got a lot of kicks but, I don’t give a fuck
I have many pairs of shoes, but I don't care about them

I’m in my dirty chucks
I am wearing my worn-out Chuck Taylors

I kissed a girl that I would eventually marry
I once kissed the woman who would become my wife

Walked the grass at the cemetery
I have walked on the grass in a cemetery

Where my grandma was buried
My grandma is buried there

And carried my little brother to the bathroom to throw up
I had to carry my younger brother to the bathroom because he was sick

Hardest reminiscing got me thinking man you know what
Reflecting on difficult memories has led me to realize something

I’ve grown up, I showed up, I’ve showed out and I changed
I've matured and improved as a person and performer

I got tore up, I got no love, went from no bus to that van
I struggled with addiction and received little support, but went from having no mode of transportation to having a van

No brand in that chain, no place and no name
I had no branding or recognition at that time

No support, no co-signs, my own time with no lame
I had no support or endorsements and had to make my own way

And it seems stereotypical, you couldn’t walk a mile in ‘em
It may seem typical, but you couldn't understand what I've been through

Looking in her eyes, in her deathbed, make her smile with ‘em
I wore my dirty chucks while spending time with a loved one on their deathbed and made her smile

Then hit the stage the next day and fucking wild in ‘em
The day after, I performed energetically in the same shoes

Took care of my fam, hit the grocery store, every aisle in ‘em
I took care of my family and went grocery shopping while wearing my worn-out shoes

I still style in ‘em, not I got the leather pair
I still wear my dirty chucks on occasion, but now also have a nicer leather pair

Accompanied by some expensive shit your ass will never wear
My nicer shoes are accompanied by expensive clothing that most people will never own

Shaking hands with fans and ignoring fam, it was never there
I have interacted with fans but have also ignored my family at times

I take ‘em off and throw ‘em in the crowd, you better get prepared
I often take off my dirty chucks and throw them into the crowd during performances, so be ready to catch them
