Winter come third week of December
See no sun in the coldest place to enter
Dare to remember Detroit
Home of the D boys with no choice
And babies with no voice
Well Ima be the speaker box for the home of Dilla
The one that made Hip Hop iller
Birthplace of Techno
It gets no better than this
I make the earth shake
East side throw it up
West side to Brightmoore, Linwood to Southwest
I miss it every day I wake up and I'm out west
This summer was a hard one to watch from afar
It got humid as hot bullets shot from a car
On the e way
I'm dreaming of a free day
If you know yourself you can get a little leeway
Know what I mean
Address yourself as a king or a queen
And watch your life change as you attract the better things
I don't know if
You'll be here at all times
I just hope that you take control of your mind
If there is anywhere I can go for you, I'll move
If there is anything I can do for you, I'll do
Every time I open IG somebody's getting dropped
Next post at 350 terrace and bottles getting popped
Situations destitute
Brothers say they hate the cap, and they still reject the truth
You on some in between lukewarm shit
You sorta kinda
Need I remind ya
The worst part ain't behind us
America's a bad clip, they tryna rewind us
And they gone make it a reality if we don't lift our minds up
Find us in the cut
Of a rough part of town
Tryna find a piece of mind
POW, get on the ground
Shots rang around the corner
Next thing is the coroner
Fools shot up the block
Now the family is mourning a
Way too young baby
City's gone mad crazy
Funeral processions on the daily
Hard to find a slice of safety
Heavens underground, and grannies singing "lord take me from this wicked world"
And every weekend you singing get it get it girl
Man give me some balance
To scale yourself big these days don't need no talent
Just a couple medallions
No real will to challenge
The status quo
Call ya own women a ho, no
Detroit the place that I grew into
Who you view as an original
Every man knows
Women and children too
My city coming back like the Belle Isle Zoo
I don't know if
You'll be here at all times
I just hope that you take control of your mind
If there is anywhere I can go for you, I'll move
If there is anything I can do for you, I'll do
Young nigga with low cheese wrote these rhymes
In the knick of time
Before I got to my last dime
Smoke weed used to be my favorite past time
Now I'm past that
For me to do this, need a fast mind
I don't judge still be there if you wanna
Smoke marijuana
For me it took longer
Inhales that turn into hitting tails
It put up a splitting rail fence
Between me and the common sense
Subliminal
You looking at the pinnacle of this hardcore shit
It's hard for you to do cuz it's just not your shit
