King Gordy - That's Detroit (Van Dyke & Harper Music ) lyrics

A Faygo red pop some Better Made hot chips
A pair of rock quartz
A day that's called legit
I sit and reminisce
Now that's Detroit to me (313)
A brand new Tiger hat with
The old English 'D'
A two family flat that's old and raggedy
If you're asking me
Now that's Detroit to me (313)

Time's ticking away
Yes the years are passin'
I'm smoking on a blunt just ridin' up bashin'
Thinkin' about the good and bad times I had
In the Motor City
Now I just bust out laughin'
Reminiscin' about this girl that
I knew off mad with a fat ass
Her mother was addicted to crack
I used to stay for days when I had me a sack
Her momma wouldn't bother us if I
Just threw her a pack
I had a homie reppin' Charmers, a crazy cat
He had a sister named Shauna whose baby dad
Used to punch her in front of us
Man it mad us so mad
That me and my homies rushed him
Chased him with bats
Meanwhile on 7 Mile and Runyon Ave
My home girl's stepfather's
Gettin' crazy cash
Tell him right up to the house
Where our babies is at
Plus her five litte sisters, it's crazy man

A Faygo red pop some Better Made hot chips
A pair of rock quartz
A day that's called legit i sit an reminisce
Now that's Detroit to me (313)
A brand new Tiger hat with
The old English 'D'
A two family flat that's old and raggedy
If you're asking me
Now that's Detroit to me (313)

Remember going to Chandler Park
With all your girls
In your mom's car and Acesha would
Get so drunk she'd yell
In your mom's car then you drop
Her off and y'all head
To Rouge Park to holler 'It's a West Side
Guys' in new cars you flossin' in your best
Friend's clothes you borrowed
Well she can rock your hair
And bone 'till tomorrow
Plus you put a ponytail in her hair
And didn't charge her a dollar
And when she's out being a
Ho you watching her daughter
And you all call each other
Bitches and it's cool
But, if a nigga say it you're all
Ready to fight and act a fool
Y'all headied to bail out with
2 bottles of Cisco got a couple of swishes
Y'all can cop two nickles
But here's some Uncle Luke
To get you in the mood
Going over the bridge
To find something to do
Ridin' up the strip, just you and your crew
This for my Detroit women
Boo I'm feelin' you

A Faygo red pop some Better Made hot chips
A pair of rock quartz
A day that's called legit i sit an reminisce
Now that's Detroit to me (313)
A brand new Tiger hat with
The old English 'D'
A two family flat that's old and raggedy
If you're asking me
Now that's Detroit to me (313)

I love this crazy, dangerous ghetto-ass city
I tattooed your name on my arm
So you'll die with me
Detroit you're all that I know, I love you
I'll marry you
I'll carry you across a threshold
Pressure sold
I thank you for all the game you gave me
And I thank you Van Dyke and Harper
You raised me i was very poor and for that
You make me appreciate things
You also made me become something I
Never thought I would be an artist
Who could paint a picture of you so perfectly
I can't describe in words what it means
When I come home from tourin'
The first thing I'm seein'
The Renaissance buildin', oh what a feelin'
The Detroit River, yes I am here now
The bell out bridge, this is where I live
I never seen you look so beautiful
You truly do and I love you

A Faygo red pop some Better Made hot chips
A pair of rock quartz
A day that's called legit i sit an reminisce
Now that's Detroit to me (313)
A brand new Tiger hat with
The old English 'D'
A two family flat that's old and raggedy
If you're asking me
Now that's Detroit to me (313)
A Faygo red pop some Better Made hot chips
A pair of rock quartz
A day that's called legit i sit an reminisce
Now that's Detroit to me (313)
A brand new Tiger hat with
The old English 'D'
A two family flat that's old and raggedy
If you're asking me
Now that's Detroit to me (313)
