“Detroit City”

From the west coast to the D,

Detroit city Steel in the stride,

every block knows the pity

Palm heat packed in a midnight case Motor City grit put a

mark on my face I came with a plan and a room

full of proof No borrowed crown,

I was raised in the booth Bass line bends like a corner

too fast Kick hit hard,

make the old fear pass You talk big,

but your numbers look thin I turn one locked door to a

place I can win Tell me where the pressure goes

When the whole room knows

I won’t fold, I won’t freeze

Put the weight right on me

From the west coast to the D,

Detroit city

We bring that fire,

we bring that force,

no pity

You can rise, you can run,

you can take your place Keep your heart like steel,

keep that fire in your face From the west coast to the

D, Detroit city Every mile,

every scar made the vision pretty

Chrome on the curb,

but the soul stays raw Learned every lesson from the work I

saw No soft landing,

no favor, no pass Built this engine from the bolts and brass

Sharp snare snap when I state my case Cold-eyed focus,

never waste my pace If the map says stop,

I redraw that line

Put two coasts in a single design

Tell me where the pressure goes

When the whole room knows

I won’t fold, I won’t freeze Put the weight right on me

From the west coast to the D,

Detroit city We bring that fire,

we bring that force,

no pity You can rise,

you can run, you can take your place Keep your heart like

steel, keep that fire in your face From the west coast to

the D, Detroit city Every mile,

every scar made the vision pretty

Two horizons, one command Dust and iron,

hand to hand

If they doubt it,

let them see What the pressure made of me

From the west coast

to the D, Detroit city

We bring that fire,

we bring that force,

no pity

You can rise, you can run,

you can take your place Keep your heart like steel,

keep that fire in your face From the west coast

to the D, Detroit city No retreat,

no disguise, no surrender in me

West coast to the D

Detroit city

Pressure made the key

One last beer, that’s all I need

Stay right here a little longer with me
