[Intro: George Clinton]
Ready or not, here we come
This system but I groove all the way, no resistance
Just existence in a wave I learned to ride
Staying dry

[Verse 1: Kuniva]
Get them fingers up, we not giving a fu*k
We rock s*it, live it up, you copped and lit it up
Shouts to the Dirty Nation who be blazing the weed
Throwing house parties ’til they end up breaking the lease
And I shows with two beers and one in they back pocket
Feeling on that goth girlfriend’s ass with the black locket
Daps or giving hugs to our message board thugs
Black, white, yellow, brown, no matter, it’s all love
All genders, from broke ass homies to y’all lenders
Burger flippers, corporate cats, bartenders
High school dropouts to college graduates
Any low, middle, or upper class you in, pass the gin
Grab the Hen’, let the liquid courage fill your abdomen
Drinking up until you’re feeling tough enough to slap a friend
We don’t play around, now if only this generation
Can be so lucky to join our Dirty Nation

[Chorus: George Clinton]
Dirty Nation under a groove
Getting down just for the fu*k of it
Dirty Nation and we’re on the move
Nothing can stop us now
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2: Swifty Mcvay]
This is what I call a Dirty anthem
Throw your hands in the air and wave your handguns
Let’s get smashed in an orderly fashion
‘Til we open up caskets and jump our ass in
All my Dirty heads get in your places

Put your middle finger up and yell “We wasted”
Back to the days of Rap Basement
Was orchestrated by the late Dirty Jason (Rest in peace)
Who created a street team that came from state to state
And overseas went crazy (For real)
They made it backstage to Blazing
Got faded and I couldn’t even speak their language
I’d be faking if I didn’t blatantly express my appreciation
Take this herb and place it
On your motherfu*king flame and blaze it
One time for my Dirty Nation

[Chorus: George Clinton]
Dirty Nation under a groove
Getting down just for the fu*k of it
Dirty Nation and we’re on the move
Nothing can stop us now
Oh, oh, oh
Ready or not, here we go
Getting down on, it’s D12, we believe
Dirty Nation under a groove
Getting down just for the fu*k of it
Dirty Nation and we’re on the move
Nothing can stop us now
Oh, oh, oh

[Spoken Word: George Clinton]
Bottle offered in the globe
Dual spiraling tides where the neon currents flow
Feet don’t touch but still I step
Rhythm breathing through the chest underwater
Never wetter, call it life in liquid dress
I’m gliding through the pressure
For the deep don’t make a sound
Every move a meditation while the chaos spins around
Bubbles rise like thoughts I drop
Let ’em drip and disappear, survival is an art form
When you dance without fear
Currents try to pull me under
Still I pivot, still I sway, sought in struggle
This system but I groove all the way, no resistance
Just existence in a wave I learned to ride
Staying dry inside the storm is how I keep my soul alive
Rhythm, rhythm in the imagination, free your mind
And flying through time underwater
Aqualogic moving weightlessly
Through the pleasure and pain
Life’s an ocean, I’m in motion, never drowning in regret
Master dancing underwater and I still ain’t wet yet

[Chorus: George Clinton]
Ready or not, here we go
Getting down on, it’s D12, we believe
Dirty Nation under a groove
Getting down just for the fu*k of it
Dirty Nation and we’re on the move
Nothing can stop us now
Oh, oh, oh
