Detroit Vs. Everybody

Lyrics

Tell 'em if they want it, they can come get that (static)
 I swear I love my city, I just want a little (static)
 See me, they salute me, they ain't ready for that (static)
 Detroit vs. Everybody
 I took a bite out the rotten apple by the poison tree
 All these females need to email to make noise
 And I think it's changin' a lot, he fuck with my authority
 Then he sells see shells, but not by the seashore
 If he gang bangin' or not
 It's simple as the alphabet
 He F with me, that G shall surely see
 He definitely is 'bout it, it's retail fraud, he's weak
 The honest gesture, the trigger finger 'round the diamond tester,
 we tail flaw with heat
 The same soldier, it's me, myself and I
 Ridin' 'round shootin' my biopic and my autobiography
 Range Rover, this ain't the squash beef state
 You thinkin' makeup, we thinkin' Lark Voorhies face
 The twin Eagle's, an Aries coupe,
 might as well ride by in an ambulance
 My parachute like skydivin' in Hammer pants
 So call it siblin' rivalry
 Take his life, call it the unforgivable robbery
 A wise man told me that holdin' a grudge is like
 Lettin' somebody just live inside of your head rent free
 (Real talk) I don't got time to evict these clowns
 Y'all niggas been bitches,
 that's none of my business, but I don't sip tea
 (That's Nickel) Ride around his block
 All he knows is pitfalls, that's why he's always climbin' out his drop
 (I got a question) Do you wanna ride or die?
 Welcome to Detroit, mothafucka
 Boy I need no halves and halves, I want the game in entirety
 100 percent cut, no stitches required
 Welcome to Detroit where if you get that promotion
 Don't worry, man them bullets will still be at your ass firin'
 I still call it safe, I would suck if I was umpirin'
 Boy I hit the beat I just treat that shit like a diary
 I'm offended if you hear my new shit and you ain't rewindin' me
 Self made, I never needed your bail or a wire, see
 I'm never callin' collect, I call to collect
 My homie wanted a Chevy so I put my dog in the vet
 Plus I'm so loyal that that paper, boy, is all that I fetch
 If the ball in my hand then the ball in the net
 Bitch I'm the D, can't no offense dunk on me
 I'm Mr. Big Shot, these hoes get drunk off me
 I'm overrespected, my mama gated community's overprotected
 So futuristic, I'm already over my next bitch
 Reminiscin' on listenin' to 50 fifty times a day
 Back when tenth grade was like fifty days away
 Tryna get paid fifty ways a day
 Used to put fifty on the layaway, now my closet fifty shades of grey
 Twenty six and I done lived a lifetime a few times
 From futons to Grey Poupons
 In church tryna get a little savings, yeah coupons
 I spit that A1 every day, I'm hittin' new primes
 Now the stakes high, niggas surprised at the new lines
 Or takin' down my number like "you still ain't got a new line?"
 Nah it's the same, we've been laborin' for years
 I know it took way longer than nine
 months, but fuck it, it's all in due time
 I turned a blunt to a roach with dreams of bein' a Beatle though
 Don't want to, I need to, gotta learn to keep it cerebral
 When you come up in a place where
 everyone got a piece but ain't peaceful
 This is just part one, wait 'til the sequel
 Tell 'em if they want it, they can come get that (static)
 I swear I love my city, I just want a little (static)
 See me, they salute me, they ain't ready for that (static)
 Detroit vs. Everybody
 Comin' from them streets where they thirsty, starvin' to eat
 Just a step away from felon, that's why they call it the D
 On your bleeder, ho, reason for all of this honesty
 Honestly no honor roll, but honored up in these streets
 Cause I'm a Linwood nigga, them young niggas say
 Put a stack on your head, you'll bleed a lake on Grand River
 And to think y'all hood harder then I might beg to differ
 Know some killers pull the trigger for a Swisher and Molly
 In a blink I'll hit your kisser, bet you ass ain't rememberin'
 They say my city's tougher than two fat bitches scissoring
 So nigga I'm a veteran, retire my letterman
 I had K's in front ya school, but I ain't go to Kettering
 Cough up a lung, 313 where I'm from
 Xan got me cross eyed like Bernstein's son
 And these niggas try to copy but I hold on this time
 It's us vs. them, Detroit vs Everybody
 Lately it seems as if it's me against the world
 Like it was before my life became a movie
 And they used to use my mothafuckin' trailer to tease me with
 But I flipped that script like AB filler
 Painkillers to pop that lid off that safety seal
 It made me feel amazing, made me celebrate me
 And if I may reiterate, I ain't even need a script
 I ain't bein' conceited
 But I made it to radio, eat a dick
 I still never ABC the shit
 Mainstream appeal and the skill is what made me iller
 Since before they called Jay Dee Dilla
 I was daydreamin' one day I would be the shit
 And if I ever end up escapin' the
 streets I swear that I would stay here
 Still in it, I'm crazy, I'll always be real
 Don't make me steal an 18 wheeler
 Break all of my friends out of here and
 take 'em straight to the Mercedes dealer
 Peel off back to the same block that we came from, on a rampage
 You crazy for me to flip
 What's makin' you think I need a switch?
 Cause I'm Adrian Peterson
 When he's raging and heated and on the way to go beat his kid
 On the track I spank like he just did
 (DETROIT!) I can't never leave this bitch
 Sick of bein' treated like me and shit
 But Jesus, I can just see why people quit callin' me to do features
 And them cyphers on BET cause if I wasn't me
 I probably wouldn't want to play with me neither, shit
 Seems to be reachin' this fever pitch
 180 degrees in here trying to wait for the cedar chips
 MCs just bit off more than they can
 chew like a face full of Swedish Fish
 Or Lorena with two penises
 Hateful ingeniousness, this inconvenience
 And for the record,
 you won't want this kind of static in
 your life, when I'm makin' you cling to it
 They consider tryna reinsulate yah
 when it's maybe in for another crazy winter
 It's so cold in the D, it is as days begin to tick away
 But ain't this what really made me into the angry bitter blonde
 Sick of bein' underdog
 Don't make me unleash this shit, release this Pit
 May even seem as if
 I'm yankin' your chain a bit or maybe the way in which I'm sayin' shit
 Is playin' with your relation, changin' it
 It's still the same and Shady's still a lady killer
 Since the day I went insane and attacked the baby sitter
 With a potato peeler and mushed her face into the entertainment center
 It's like another plane just entered into Ukraine again
 The Bermuda Triangle and attempted to make a safe descent
 Awaiting anyone who ain't affiliated, it could be danger
 Did you make arrangements with the gangsters 'fore you came here?
 And if they mention us
 Tell 'em if they want it, they can come get that (static)
 I swear I love my city, I just want a little (static)
 See me, they salute me, they ain't ready for that (static)
 Detroit vs. Everybody
 What up though, it's the godfather Trick Trick.
 You either ridin' with us or gettin' rolled on.
 That means Detroit vs. Everybody!
 Hey Em let me get that instrumental take it down to
 the hood, let the little homies get this remix crackin'.
 Detroit!
