about

Original song: "Dirt Off Your Shoulder" by Jay-Z.

lyrics

(Chorus)
If you finna hit that crimp, nigga go on, brush them boulders off,
ladies can crimp, too - go on, brush them boulders off,
niggas is lazy, baby - don’t forget your boy told you
get that dirt off your boulders,

Black skin, chalked hands - what you expect?
I’m stepping out the 317 and I’m repping correct,
hiking to the latest wall I’ve adorned a warm-up
listening to Bon Iver, Avenged 7 and Tech,
I probably owe it Joe saying he got on “The Force,”
now I’m hustling game to keep me stuck to the course,
climbing with no remorse even though my hands is coarse,
middle finger to my job - I’ma chill at the Gorge,
but I love it, though, wake up bright and early for some trouble, so
a coffee with a shot of espresso - make it double, yo,
it’s 6 in the morning, yeah, I’m tired and yawning,
but before the sun shine, nigga, I’m on my grind, so

(Chorus)
If you finna hit that crimp, nigga go on, brush them boulders off,
ladies can crimp, too - go on, brush them boulders off,
niggas is lazy, baby - don’t forget your boy told you
get that dirt off your boulders,

(Post-Chorus)
You gotta get that dirt off your boulders (x4)

Stay in the lab with that friction, in the kitchen, I’m live,
I just sent me a 4, trying to get me a five,
trying to stretch it to seven - one day, I’ll get to eleven,
when I’m not nursing an injury, man, your boy is a weapon, but,
I’m 58 moves in now, to this problem,
and my knees and face bruised, so now, the sun’s grilling me,
my pinky’s A2’s worn out, now I’m feeling it,
till 58 brews come out, now I’m chilling
like a boss at Miguel’s, bad bitches and Ski,
Black Diamond on my lamp and Hoosier Heights on the sleeve,
pro-deal get them cheaper climbing shoes, Sportiva,
Coleman stove with a grill, I’m a grown-up - for real!

(Chorus & Post-Chorus)

Your boy back in the building - Indy, we back on the map,
me and some beautiful bitches in the back with the rack,
I’m the realest nigga in it - I just like doing rap,
I ain’t climbing crack, no disrespect to the traddies
I drop that rack down and then I back out it
as the best setter alive, nigga - ask about me
from Indy to Nulu, B-Town to Muncie,
Cincinnati, Chicago and Chatty - they all want me,
know well around my way, for setting mock comps
in a day, a climbing young Lebron in his hey,
I’m a boulderer, shorty - chilling at HP40,
got some dirt on these boulders - could you brush them off for me??

(Chorus & Post-Chorus)
