"DETROIT FALLIN’"

🎶 Lyrics (Songtext)

[Intro]  
Yo…  
This for the city that they left for dead…  
But we still breathin’, still schemin’…  
Let’s go!  

[Verse 1]  
Grew up where the houses got holes in the roofs,  
City council dirty, and they lyin’ to the youth.  
Steel mills rustin’, streets full of cracks,  
Politicians rich while the hood got jacked.  

Auto plants closed, dream turnt to dust,  
Hustlers push weight ‘cause they do what they must.  
Pigs on patrol, yeah, they love to harass,  
If you Black in the D, best believe they blast.  

[Hook]  
Detroit fallin’, system stallin’  
Money talkin’, crooked walkin’  
Where the love at? Where the hope go?  
Ain’t no mercy in this cold zone.  

[Verse 2]  
Vacant lots, crack spots, ghosts in the frame,  
Neighborhoods burned, city hall to blame.  
Gentrify the blocks, push the people to the side,  
Now the rent too high, where the fuck we ‘posed to ride?  

Mayors took the loot, they was laughin’ at the game,  
Motor City dyin’, man, that shit’s a fuckin’ shame.  
GM pulled out, Ford cut the ties,  
Now the only thing left is the hustlers and the lies.  

[Hook]  
Detroit fallin’, system stallin’  
Money talkin’, crooked walkin’  
Where the love at? Where the hope go?  
Ain’t no mercy in this cold zone.  

[Verse 3]  
The streets talk loud when the suits stay quiet,  
Kids got dreams but the block stay violent.  
They sold us a future that was dead on arrival,  
Now we turn to the hustle just to focus on survival.  

They razed the schools, put prisons instead,  
They love when we fight, they want us all dead.  
But we rise from the ash, real G’s never fold,  
Detroit till I die, my blood stay cold.
