Hello Detroit

[Talking]
Yeah
Hello Detroit
I could of been anywhere else in the world
But I'm here

[Verse One]
Uh, Hello Detroit, thank you so much
You made me who I am, I owe you so much
This one for you, it's coming straight from the heart
And I got so much to say, uh, so where do I start
How about with Hello Detroit
A place of survival, one of the few places where you keep a strap with your bible
Of course there are rivals, the Crips and Bloods, Puritan Ave and the 6's but we're more than thugs
So Hello Detroit, a beautiful ugly
When it comes to over coming there is no one above thee
The grittiest pretty when you come out to my city
Make sure you use your mind, might not make it if you ain't witty
So Hello Detroit, home of Lions and Tigers
I ain't talking Suh and Cabrera, they're new to this era
Shout out to my hometown, you know where it goes down
If you ain't know back then, you gonna know now
Hello Detroit

[Talking]
Yeah
Uh
I say Hello Detroit
Yeah
I love my hometown, uh

[Verse Two]
Hello Detroit, home of Coney Island and the liquor stores where the homies be wild'n
They grab a fifth of Mo' and a spliff to blow
That's if you didn't know, and if you did not know just say
Hello Detroit, around the summer we ride up and down the 7 until we leave with a number
And later that night, we hit Belle Isle, park your car right on the strip
I gotta clean for the chicks
So uh, Hello Detroit
I'm just reminiscing, if this ain't making any sense that's because you ain't witnessed
The living oxymoron with heroes and heroines and crack addicts do heron
We take it from here on
Hello Detroit

[Talking]
Yeah, you get the good, the bad, the ugly
But we still here
Hello Detroit
Home of some of the hardest working people
We're staying strong from here on
Yeah

[Verse Three]
Hello Detroit, what's up Campus Martius
Beautiful in December I wish the world could see all this
The home of the Motown, we got the best artists
Don't listen to the media, 'cause they ain't tell y'all this
So hello Detroit, I'll be back later
I got a world to takeover, I'm on a run for the paper
I'll bring some to ya, open a few schools up
Let's show all the critics how we do it when we do us
So Hello Detroit!
