"We are still standin"

🎶 Lyrics (Songtext)

[Intro]  
Ayy…
They left us for dead, but we still standin’…
Still schemin’, still dreamin’…
Let’s ride!

[Verse 1]
Grew up where the ceilings leak, floorboards rot,
City Hall dirty, still duckin’ the cops.
Potholes deep, like the pockets they got,
Whole block starvin’, while they eatin’ off the top.

Motown ghost town, steel mills rust,
Factories shut down, dreams turnt to dust.
Jakes ridin’ slow, tryna make us a stat,
If you Black in the D, betta watch where you at.

“Detroit… what happened?"

[Hook]
D-town burnin’, streets still churnin’,
Money talk dirty, crooked still earnin’.
Where the love at? Where the hope go?
Ain’t no mercy in this cold zone.


[Verse 2]
Vacant cribs, dope boys posted in the cut,
Whole hood boarded up, city never gave a fuck.
Tore down the schools, put prisons instead,
Tryna lock us all up, rather see us all dead.

Mayors ran scams, they was runnin’ the lick,
Motor City bleedin’, they just watchin’ it drip.
GM packed up, Ford cut ties,
All that’s left is the dealers and lies.

“Corruption… destruction…"

[Hook]
D-town burnin’, streets still churnin’,
Money talk dirty, crooked still earnin’.
Where the love at? Where the hope go?
Ain’t no mercy in this cold zone.

“What happened?”

[Verse 3]
Block talk real, but the suits stay quiet,
Kids got drive, but the streets stay violent.
Sold us a future that came with a coffin,
Now we push weight just to keep shit in motion.

Razed our homes, left bricks and dust,
Said we ain't worth it, left the city to rust.
But we rise like smoke, real G’s don’t fold,
D die tryin’, heart stay cold.
