Dirty - Loïc Nottet, Lil Trip

The playground kids are all the same

They stick together for the game

As they grow up the friendships change

Insulting starts, it’s the teen age

Children!

Listen!

I’m down on my knees

Friends now enemies

I’m not looking pretty

Spat upon with hate and mockery

People wanna hurt and injure me

So now the kids are looking dirty

I get sick of trying

I’m worn out fighting prejudice

Wiping off those dirty offenses

So now the kids are looking dirty

The scars and scrapes don’t make them frail

Your words won’t put them down again

Inside they’re damaged but they’ll still

Show you that they don’t give a shhh…

Children!

Listen!

I’m left standing here

Daring you to throw your stones

I’m not looking pretty

Spat upon with hate and mockery

People wanna hurt and injure me

So now the kids are looking dirty

I get sick of trying

I’m worn out fighting prejudice

Wiping off those dirty offenses

So now the kids are looking dirty

So now the kids are looking dirty

So now the kids are looking dirty

Why can’t we all live in peace

We’ve got the world at our feet

But still you keep on hating

Cuz you’re different than me

Don’t wanna make no enemies

I just wished that I was free

Run the world like whoop

Be who we wanna be

Ya’ll keep hating each other

Although you call yourselves brothers

And now you’re looking at me

Like who’s the next one to suffer

But we can’t stop the heat

We keep it hot on the beat

Now we’re about to show the world

What we’re destined to be yeah

(La-la-la…)

Now we’re about to show the world

What we’re destined to be yeah

(La-la-la…)

Now we’re about to show the world

What we’re destined to be yeah

So we’re not looking pretty

Spat upon with hate and mockery

People wanna make us feel messy

Children!

We’re not looking pretty

Spat upon with hate and mockery

People wanna make us feel dirty

So now the kids are looking dirty

We get sick of trying

We’re worn out fighting prejudice

Wiping off those dirty offenses

So now the kids are looking dirty

Yes we’re looking dirty

But this will not bring us down

Messy children

Messy children

Yes we’re looking dirty

But this will not bring us down

Messy children

Messy children
