(HOOK)
They say we livin' in the worst place to be
What you call Hell is home to me
It's my life, I'm just tryin' to do what's right
(VERSE 1)
You see the potholes in the road
Street lights broke out
Three people found dead
Up in the dopehouse
If you ain't gettin' paid
Must be smoked out
Blades on the Escalade
And you know they poke out
What you know about
Scared to death of goin' out
Streets are quiet as a mouse
Burglars breakin' in your house
Homie, let Detroit live
Let Detroit live
Ya'll done took everything from us
We ain't got no more to give
This world is full of saints and sinners
But Detroit city is full of winners
Man it's cold like December
Michael Jackson, you remember
He was tryin' to put a amusement park downtown
But some silly clown had to tell him no
Why give out jobs in the ghetto
Let 'em stay po'
And ya'll wonder why we can't sco'
They done jacked the city up
Before Kwame a long time ago
They say we livin' in the worst place to be
What you call Hell is home to me
It's my life, I'm just tryin' to do what's right
(VERSE 1)
