What am I doing here? Just as if nothing's wrong Like everything's just fine Yea-, fine, yea-, fine (yeah, Detroit) Who, who am I? All I know All I know All I know is I'm fine With love sincerely Even though campaigns smear me I clearly still am that guy (true), won't let shit die Never been a quitter, hard liquor Hold my own, and I take you it to the yard with ya From the first cry to the dirt lie And my face faces up to the Earth's sky And the view was bird-eye, I keep it real Even if I had a meal with a sneaker deal Rap now has a weaker feel So we make noise at the time that you're sleeping 'til Blowing through my reefer heels Feel at ease, when the winter breeze giving me the chills That's home, the backbone (Detroit) Way deeper than a rap song Peace to AD, my brothers for life Soon when I double the price, it's back on, its Guilt Where am I? How'd I get here? Who am I? All I know is (all I know, know) All I know is I'm fine Nah, born and raised in the same city my daddy lived I'm finna take him back to ghetty crib With my nigga GS, Shy Dog and Ill Uno My first bars had ten sumos F*ck kudos How he die over a shoot'o? I cry too though The whole shit a bad do, bro Time flew though Who would'a knew it would'a past you though? Who would'a knew they would'a blast you folk? The last true goat Now I come through the back with a pack of aristocrats Then they clap at you mumble rappers, the body snatchers is back No pun intended, packin' a MAC in back of the 'Lac You get offended 'til your name comin' out of the hat F*ck your talent, metallons is flying out the gat The same niggas that made you will try fade you to black The same niggas that payed you will try to stage an attack The same bitch that you laid with will stick a blade in your back, facts Where am I? How'd I get here? Who am I? All I know is (all I know, all I know) All I know is I'm fine
