Dirty Laundry Lyrics

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

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 never told no lies

Never worn a disguise

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

(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

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

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

My name's Eric

That's my name, don't wear it out

My name's Eric

That's my name, don't wear it out

My name's Eric

That's my name, don't wear it out

My name's Eric
