Detroit State of Mind |
It’s Elmatic |
Yeah, I’mma start this shit off, man |
Yo, rappers I monkey-flip 'em, gorilla-stomp 'em |
I’m out here with the dealers pumpin', the killers dumpin' |
Dead bodies in Lake Michigan that shake fishermen |
Pimps turn into pastors, the fake bishops in the churches |
And props determined off what you purchase |
Or who you murked just a week ago, dug up from searches |
And police raids, decreased grades; |
someone deceased made |
The front page, the priests prayed he went to heaven, but the beast stayed |
Now it’s a war, and flowers for more funerals |
You see who’s soon to go a few hours before |
It’s just the same story, they cutting more ki’s |
When someone OD’s in the same building on the same story |
It’s that ruthless; |
Drug addicts is toothless, turned doofus |
Responsible for how the wasted youth is |
Who run up in your shop and steal, popping pills |
At the house party with a hoodrat copping feels |
Fuckin' raw, mentality’s like |
Fuck the law, nowadays niggas buck when they woulda snuffed ya jaw |
In the city of schemes where money is power |
And shots go off at the funniest hour |
Now its breaking news, it’s best that you stay awake than snooze |
They taking lives or they taking shoes |
I jot it down like I’m Langston Hughes |
And paint a picture in my good book thats full of verses |
That ain’t a scripture nor from the religion |
Judges put men under the prison |
Them shorties screamin' they riders, but ain’t none of 'em driven |
I try to school 'em cause they dropped out, once they popped out the pussy |
They mad because they pussy pops out, now they a bastard |
Life can be fatal and a hazard, from the cradle to the casket |
I’m rightfully raised around a life of crime, snitches dropping dimes |
I think of rhymes when I’m in a Detroit State of Mind |
Detroit State of Mind |
Detroit State of Mind |
Detroit State of Mind |
Detroit State of Mind |
Be having dreams that I’m a gangsta, sipping on bottles of Rozay |
Chilling with my out-of-town connect named Jose |
Tryna hustle for more pay, police in my doorway |
I never have my head in the clouds cause they could go gray |
And that ain’t my forte, so fuck a job |
Or who I stuck and robbed just the other day |
Who’s listening to what they mother say about finishing school |
To get they GED, while crackheads is tryna sling an HDTV |
For rocks to snort? |
The fast life is why the time on ya clocks is short |
Even the shorties pulling Glocks from they boxer shorts |
Rap sheet be so long that it shocks the courts |
It’s why we called the Murder City, tip a stripper then you can purr the kitty |
Bad Boys before we heard of Diddy |
Word, to Maserati Rick, Demetrius Holloway |
And those who celebrate by busting guns on a Holiday |
Happy to see another year end and begin |
Was told to watch for enemies that pretend to be friends |
They hit you with the setup, I seen it all with my own two |
The hood is like a glass house the Devil throws stones through |
Many are stressed off the Henny or sess |
Maybe because the city is built above where Indians rest |
In peace, police found deceased, it’s hair-raising like Kelis |
D-boys high and workin' they fleece, and bubble geese |
I knew this fly chick, pretty right, she was my type — that crack shit |
Wasn’t hype, she fell in love with the pipe |
She had dreams, of being the next D. Ross of the Supremes |
Overdosed in the lot, between the plot and the schemes |
