I take a blunt to the face late night watching breath low
Pray for paper, writing rhymes about dope
Cause when a block's slow, tell me what's next
Wonder why I'm running in your crib with the tech
Hell with no job, unemployment having high fiend
If it ain't a crack rock, next day die
Hell to work they life and I really don't know
Why they wanna give it back to the damn casino
This world is a joke but I really can't laugh
Cause the tank kinda low, they killin' us for gas
Child support warrent, licensed bimbo
Tail light broke on the way to the store
Used to wear my daddy clothes sneaking in his closet
Now I can cop the winter line in August
Used to sell rocks now I can rock your baby mama
Hit her with a text, let her scoop me in the Honda
Give us any chance we'll take it
Read us any rule we'll break it
We're gonna make our dreams come true
Doin' it our way
Nothing's gonna turn us back now
Straight ahead and on the track now
We're gonna make our dreams come true
Doin' it our way
There's nothing we won't try
Never heard the word impossible
This time there's no stoppin' us
We're gonna do it
On your mark get set and go now
Got a dream and we just know now
We're gonna make that dream come true
And we'll do it our way
Yes our way
Make all our dreams come true
And we'll do it our way
Yes our way
Make all our dreams come true
For me and you
What has been recession else where
Has been depression in Detroit
6 out of 10 teenagers can't get work
Many have quit school and have no skills
When we have an able mind drop out every year for a decade
We got some less than desirable people
And what do you think they're doing?
They come out of school with no skill
They come out of school with no education
Nobody can hire em, soon you gotta hold on
One day when I got off the highway
I was in the East side
Family on the east side man
I go over to check the scene
I was like what the fuck man it was like
The city man the city was burnt out
I was like I must be in the wrong neighborhood or something man
They're coming from New York
And they're coming here to the city like-shit's burnt down
And nobody's present and I was like, you know
It's really simple man
The reality is that it's happening down town you know that's anybody
Police cannot be on every corner
The Detroit drivers are carrying guns
Purchasing security systems
And hoping this random wave of crime does not hit them
