| Was an ordinary day, sky was stormy very gray
|
| Then I got a call from Mary, sounded worried, told me hurry, «On my away»
|
| Was my response, didn’t wait for her to even try and launch
|
| Into her explanation, walked up she was crying in her palms
|
| Sitting on the porch steps, all her belongings on the lawn
|
| I’m like Nancy Drew Dick Tracy, got a nasty crew, spit crazy
|
| Rhythm addict that’s cinematic like Scorsese
|
| Either adore or hate me but I do it for the babies and
|
| She was without a doubt mad at more than bout her house
|
| Told me to look around, more evictions than you could try to count
|
| Every house on the block in a cataclysmic event
|
| Read the notice from the locusts, my battle instinct intense
|
| It read, «Your street needs to be moved to be improved to make it safe»
|
| In other words, they’ve been displaced and privatized
|
| Put me on the case, a private eye, no time to waste
|
| I’m ride or die
|
| My motto, «Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide out
|
| Tell the truth, or the world will find out»
|
| I’m the drunken sleuth, always on the hunt for truth
|
| Make the evidence ever clear, as a hundred proof
|
| A hundred proof
|
| I’m hot on the trail, binoculars spotted betrayal
|
| Superintendent intended to put the lot up for sale
|
| The block chipped in to stop the shoplifting
|
| Now the plot thickens, shocked thinking about what I got in email
|
| The meeting notes from a conglomerate
|
| Who planned to take the city over, someone leaked their top secret document
|
| It read, «Dear conquistadors
|
| We have to shut the soup kitchens down 'cause they enable and feed the poor
|
| And then went on to call the homeless undesirable
|
| And planned to take the benches out the park so they could keep it pure
|
| Also conspired to create security patrols
|
| Assuredly the goal is to jail and police them more
|
| A year later one of the patrol men started beatin'
|
| On an old man who was sleepin' on the street and almost killed him
|
| Got off ‘cause his lawyer cost a quarter million, but he got
|
| Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide out
|
| Tell the truth, or the world will find out
|
| Marchin' the city street named after Martin, sparking a Swisher Sweet
|
| Wish in Michigan we had a Detroit WikiLeaks
|
| Then it clicked like a Bic lighter
|
| I need an insider for governor Rick Snyder
|
| Got us living in a state of emergency, financial managers
|
| Watch it slow motion like time-lapses on cameras
|
| The mayor is Dave Bing, thinks the city’s his plaything
|
| Acts a fool to make this capital like it’s Beijing
|
| Profits over people but the people are the prophets
|
| Never getting heard by the people that’s in office
|
| Get to the bottom of it like swallowing bottles of booze
|
| Tracing the money and follow the clues
|
| ‘Cause the advance was given by the foundation funding grants
|
| They don’t believe me, they just think I’m just on one of my drunken rants
|
| It’s a prequel to a land grab but you can’t have
|
| Got nowhere to run, nowhere to hide out
|
| Tell the truth or the world will find out |
