Detroit - Boog Brown

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

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

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
