A Faygo red pop, Some Better Made hot chips
A pair of Rock ports, a dance called "The Jit"
I sit and reminisce, now that's Detroit to me (313, uh)
A brand new Tiger hat with the old English 'D'
A two family flat that's old and raggedy
If you're askin' me, now that's Detroit to me (313, uh)
(1st Verse:)
Time's tickin' away, yes the years are passin'
I'm smokin' on a blunt just ridin' up Gratiot
Thinkin' about the good and bad times I had
In the Motor City, now I just bust out laughin'
Reminiscin' about this girl that I knew off mad
With a fat ass, her mother was addicted to crack
I used to stay for days when I had me a sack
Her momma wouldn't bother us if I just threw her a pack
I had a homie reppin' Charmers, a crazy cat
He had a sister named Shauna whose baby dad
Used to punch her in front of us, man it mad us so mad
That me and my homies rushed him, chased him with bats
Meanwhile on 7 Mile and Runyon Ave
My home girl's stepfather's gettin' crazy cash
Tell him right up to the house where our babies is at
Plus her five litte sisters, it's crazy man
A Faygo red pop, Some Better Made hot chips
A pair of Rock ports, a dance called "The Jit"
I sit and reminisce, now that's Detroit to me (313, uh)
A brand new Tiger hat with the old English 'D'
A two family flat that's old and raggedy
If you're askin' me, now that's Detroit to me (313, uh)
(2nd Verse:)
Remember goin' to Chandler Park with all your girls in your mom's car
And Acesha would get so drunk she'd yell in your mom's car
Then you drop her off and y'all head to Rouge Park
To holler "It's a West Side, guys" in new cars
You flossin' in your best friend's clothes you borrowed
Well she can rock your hair and bone 'til tomorrow
Plus you put a ponytail in her hair and didn't charge her a dollar
And when she's out bein' a ho you watchin' her daughter
And you all call each other bitches and it's cool
But if a nigga say it you're all ready to fight and act a fool
Y'all headied to bail out with two bottles of Cisco
Got a couple of swishes, y'all can cop two nickles
But here's some Uncle Luke, to get you in the mood
Goin' over the bridge, to find somethin' to do
Ridin' up the strip, just you and your crew
This for my Detroit women, boo I'm feelin' you
A Faygo red pop, Some Better Made hot chips
A pair of Rock ports, a dance called "The Jit"
I sit and reminisce, now that's Detroit to me (313, uh)
A brand new Tiger hat with the old English 'D'
A two family flat that's old and raggedy
If you're askin' me, now that's Detroit to me (313, uh)
(3rd Verse:)
I love this crazy, dangerous ghetto-ass city
I tattooed your name on my arm, so you'll die with me
Detroit you're all that I know, I love you, I'll marry you
I'll carry you across a threshold, pressure sold
I thank you for all the game you gave me
And I thank you Van Dyke and Harper, you raised me
I was very poor and for that you make me appreciate things
You also made me become something I never thought I would be
An artist, who could paint a picture of you so perfectly
I can't describe in words what it means
When I come home from tourin', the first thing I'm seein'
The Renaissance buildin', oh what a feelin'
The Detroit River, yes I am here now
The bell out bridge, this is where I live
I never seen you look so beautiful
You truly do and I love you
A Faygo red pop, Some Better Made hot chips
A pair of Rock ports, a dance called "The Jit"
I sit and reminisce, now that's Detroit to me (313, uh)
A brand new Tiger hat with the old English 'D'
A two family flat that's old and raggedy
If you're askin' me, now that's Detroit to me (313, uh)
A Faygo red pop, Some Better Made hot chips
A pair of Rock ports, a dance called "The Jit"
I sit and reminisce, now that's Detroit to me (313, uh)
A brand new Tiger hat with the old English 'D'
A two family flat that's old and raggedy
If you're askin' me, now that's Detroit to me (313, uh)
313, uh
313, uh
