life in Detroit city.
Lyrics
I love my city
opening bridge: we stay gatored up in the city where we love to shine.
(verse1) welcome to Detroit city home sweet home, problems of our own, yet life goes on, they say we lazy or crazy, a combination of both, but it's amazing can't protect our babies, that means somebody messin up, city officials sucking the money up them the dudes who coming up, 9-1-1 it don't work, and in my hood Amber don't alert. somebody tell that chick she fired, and wit that nonesense access denied, Mayor Mike talkin bout blight, my lil homie got killed last night. man them boys did him something terrible, his mama stressin and strugglin to pay for his funeral, schools get shut down like crackhouses, but despensaries popin up like Mc donalds, ya wonder why the hood wild and foul now, cause yall done took belle isle and downtown, so of course the crime rate's off the roof, dudes aint got nowhere to go and aint got nothing to do, so i put the blame on you, shame shame shame on you, we gotta pull forward like they holding on us, time to take the city back the same way the stole from us, (chrous: I love my city, my city loves me, been around the world, ain't nothing like the D, I love my city, and seems sometimes it don't love me, apology accepted, cause my hearts in the D.) (Verse2) It was all a dream like yesterday reading the vibe magazine, blowing a fat one in the navigator limosine, hanging pictures on my wall every singe night of aaliyah left eye tupac and biggie smalls, this game came a long way seem like yesterday, we barely had a place to stay, now we livin great, in the hood, never had the best of thngs but life's good, summertime, bumpim that old blade ice-wood you, boss up and get this money, man it's kinda funny this beat reminds me of Jd, jay dilla forealla i feel a hook wit aaliyah on it, two piece bikini next to a caddy wit d's on it, proof came through wit a bag of the truth, step up in the booth, bless this track wit a verse or two, stepped back out seen blade and wipeout sitting on the couch, set next to them and started yelling out (chrous:) I love my city i love my city, my city loves me my city loves me i swear, man i done been around the world aint no place i'd rther be then right here in the D.(repeat:) We stay gatored up gatored up gatored up, we stay gatored up gatored up gatored up gatored
