Detroit Raised Me

Ha
Let me walk you through my city for a minute
Show you how we live over here, on the Detroit side of things
Detroit raised me

The way I grew up life was hard
If you wonder why I treat you how I treat you I got scars
Truer bars, robbin' niggas for they cars this life is ours
Daddy gone, you gon' end up robbin' son like Denard
Throw a bullet at a nigga 50 yards I got an arm
If niggas sleep and still bet this wake them up like an alarm
I can talk a young bitch right out her panties I got charm
Or I can go to Hutch and spend like 20 thousand on a charm
All my young niggas grew up around the beef just like a farm
I know some cow dens that got a hunnid bows tucked in a barn
My old nigga rich off selling Oxy scripts he got a pharm
Power forward in the court, the judge tryna make it hard

Detroit raised me
Let me walk you through my city for a minute
Let me walk you through my hood a lil bit
Let me show you what these young niggas go through where I'm from
We're jumping off the porch where [?]

When you playin' on defense you can't be scared to take a charge
In the center of the block, ready to shoot, just like a guard
Wallet in my pocket I can't let these niggas pull my card
North Carolina dope step on it with my heel we sellin' tar
I can't chill, tryna get rich for real, I need a mil'
My only job, yell peace to the guys, free Dolla Bill
Street nigga, I be riding with my whistle Emmett Till
Wizard Kelly you don't see me, I'm still ballin' Bradley Beal
I got rich friends, if I go broke, I'll prolly switch hands
My AR will send a nigga under like some quicksand
B22's hold me up like a kickstand
Audemars Piguet, handcuffs Rolly Wristband

Detroit Raised Me
West side baby
I'm a Detroit baby you feel me
West side kid to be exact, you know
But the Eastside love me
They love the kid
I can't help it
Let me show you what I went through
Realest young nigga ever

I watched my daddy hustle hard
They caught bro Stanley in the Pen, he kicking niggas off the yard
Everyday I get up hustle I'm alone, I feel like Marv
456 I got the bank, you doing tricks, you getting barred
Unc' got the cheap deals just to feed his baby when they need meals
I know some niggas 50 years old they in the beef still
These young niggas wanna be Lebron James or Meek Mill
Out of towners don't wanna come here, they know we kill (Ha)
I got real shit I been going through my baby
That's just how it is, where I live, Detroit Raised Me
Unc' and em been selling dogfood since the 80's
Young dawg just got his first kill, you can't save him
All I know is hustle, fuck niggas pay me
I just wanna make it out before these niggas take me out

Detroit raised me
Westside kid, that's what you gotta know
Born and raised huh
Westside kid you know
You feel me
Tied in everywhere
[?]
From Westside to Eastside (Ha)
