about

Many people view Detroit in an negative light, so I wanted to make a song that shows the better side of it that many people don't see unless they live here

lyrics

People hate my state and city please
I prefer to be underrated when I'm seen
So much better when truth's made clean
Why lose our identity like other scenes,
Sound of my city's more than screams
We got hearts of soul that always bleed
Crowns of thorn crumbles with dreams
Underdog Pistons constantly it seems,
I embody a contradiction of my beliefs
Lyrics of anger while calling for peace
In a direct line to God I'd never speak
There's nothing to say I live what I see,
Do no evil but in Motown I'm complete
Summers cold but love fades in heat
Michigan's tetanus for a different breed
Guess it's the rust on spoons we eat

Relate to me my city's more than death
Talking on K/D but life leaves some deaf
Spirits can't speak only spread by dread
Drink for success rather than mine lead,
Respawn spent one chance for success
Tadpole to egg society's larva never rest
Gotta grow to mine just to go invest
Spoken but words will never indent,
Paragraph of pain dice cubes for breath
Puzzled? Raise spirits quarter what's set
Shine against jackals collect what's left
Pulling teeth answers always spent,
Pay for truth if you can handle the debt
Owed honesty never what's ever cent
Pennies for thoughts mine this trench
Despise corrupt government instead
