Detroit

[Verse 1]
Detroit's so immaculate, you only seen the half of it
Trying to dismantle it in memories
Ill streets with poison, boys posted on the block
Trying to get with what they got, but misdirect obviously
Environment
Privatizing hoods
Knocking down everything good about it's history
Riddle me with sentiment
Intimate and distant, the place I hate to visit
When it's cold so much more than just the snow and the ice
Started life here
Pride, fear and anger make emotions tangle
If I stayed and rose above would it prove I love it?
Look, our life does it, look at the price of it
Detroit daughter so far beyond the boarder so close
Heed the orders that's the path I set before it and move
Pay dues, bring it back and make it new
Make it feel like it used to
Home is where the heart is, regardless of how dark it is
I represent

[Hook]
Let's have a toast for the home team
Chrome things on the Caprice let the speakers be
Pop a bottle it's a celebration
Fresh out the shop we keep the haters hating
Ain't the place for you to take a vacation
Keep a pair of gators, my Detroit players
Ride for the realest if it's home I know you feel it
Known as the place of the home of greats
My niggas 'bout to show you how we do

[Verse 2]
Don't nobody care about us, all they do is doubt us
Till we blow the spot then they all wanna crowd us
Nigga shut your mouth up, I'm 'bout done
Haters talking shit but you ain't never been
You ain't never rode on Jefferson or hit the Isle styling
All you know is 8 Mile and
Where my city breathe you can stay asleep
I should take you to the east side and leave you for a week
How you miss the beauty, focus on the ugliness
Because of this you never will experience the spirit of it
Or see the vision that I'm speaking of
All in love with the music, how my city does
Hanging on the nuts of niggas that's above
Selling self and fall in love
Just because you should be ashamed
Top to bottom how we came on the come up just the same
We are warriors
Shine victorious
Known to make them envy
The pretty and the gritty, Detroit Rock City

[Hook]
