Dirty Laundry by Eric Armitage Lyrics
[Intro]
That's my name, don't wear it out
That's my name, don't wear it out
I said, that's my name, don't wear it out
That's my name, don't wear it out, please
[Verse 1]
My name’s Eric
Don’t call me Generic
Got a small ring, but it's friends I cherish
New friends silver, old friends gold
But we all shine like 24 carats
Here’s a lil something to lift your spirits
Love to the ones who sing my lyrics
I respect you like I do my parents
Say what I say, never get embarrassed
Might not have been the coolest at school
But I do know that I nevеr told no lies
Never worn a disguisе
Only thing I ever did wear
Was my heart on my sleeve - on God
Honestly, mama taught me about honesty
And some people treat me like comedy
But I’ve been able to dodge
All these rotten tomatoes you shot at me
Oh, what a policy
When you don’t gotta lie
You don’t gotta try
I don’t talk a lot
I just walk the line
You do suicide
I stay home inside
I do homicide
I get feelings out
They get monetized
They just run their mouth
They go rock-a-bye
Walls are closin’ in
You will not survive
You’ll get trapped in there
I made it out alive
[Bridge]
(E)You people look at me crazy
(R) I don’t need jewels or paper
(I) I just need music to save me
(C) I think the music can save me
(E) Go ahead, look at me crazy
(R) I put my faith in this daily
(I) You think that you can replace me
(C) Go ahead, try to replace me
[Verse 2]
My name’s Eric, I’m Eric Armitage
I’m not a narcissist, I just been confident
I bring emotion while you bring the dollars in
I don’t run out of it, I just keep hollerin’
Need I remind you, man
Hours and hours and hours under my belt buckle
I can sniff fakes out, I can nearly smell trouble
I do my own stunts, you use a stunt double
Go and make a smash hit, that won’t last long
Matter of fact - this might be your last song
Rappers 'round here make one song too many
But they only made one song - well, that’s plenty
Cuz I take pride and I care - unlike you
I don’t got a rhyme to spare - unlike you
It’s actually Eric to you and you and you
Cuz I don’t sound generic like you
Mmm
[Hook]
E-R-I-C, E-R-I-C
Speak so nicely, don’t need no ID
E-R-I-C, E-R-I-C
That’s my name, so don’t wear it out (My name's Eric)
E-R-I-C, E-R-I-C
Me no speak P-U-S-S-Y, please
E-R-I-C, E-R-I-C
Dirty laundry, lemme air it out
[Ontro]
