"Detoit, Stand up!"

🎶 Lyrics (Songtext)

[Intro]  

Ayo… This city ain’t what it used to be…  
They left us in the dark, now we light it up ourselves…  
Detroit, stand up!  

[Verse 1]  
Once a kingdom, now a ghost town,  
Factories dead, windows broke down.  
Mayor took the money, hit the coast now,  
Streets full of wolves, better slow down.  

Schools boarded up, liquor stores thrive,  
One job ain’t enough just to stay alive.  
Cops watchin’, but they ain’t protectin’,  
They just huntin’, waitin’ for the next one.  


[Hook]  
Motor City burnin’, skyline crashin’,  
Jobs all gone, so we out here trappin’.  
History lost, they erased the past,  
Now we pick up the pieces and make it last.  

[Verse 2]  
Steel mills rust, streets full of pain,  
Politicians talk, but it’s all in vain.  
They built up downtown, but forgot the blocks,  
Now the city divided, we connect with Glocks.  

Foreclosed homes, empty lots,  
Kids grow up fast ‘cause the streets don’t stop.  
They sold us dreams, but delivered the lies,  
Still we rise from the fire with blood in our eyes.  

[Hook]  
Motor City burnin’, skyline crashin’,  
Jobs all gone, so we out here trappin’.  
History lost, they erased the past,  
Now we pick up the pieces and make it last.  

[Bridge]  
They ain’t fixin’ this… they want it dead  

[Verse 3]  
They killed the lights, but we still glow,  
Turned our backs, but we still grow.  
Street poets write the pain in the snow,  
Detroit still breathin’, you already know.  

Hustlers push weight, ‘cause work don’t pay,  
Pipes still freeze when the winter stay.  
They wanna see us fall, but we built to last,  
From the ashes, yeah, we comin’ back fast.
