detroit state of mind
Singer:obie trice
everything in the city ain't pretty
when you're looking at the curvy
trying to make a way to survive
even though it ain't right
i'm trying to preach another ghetto hymn
hustling to come up all my life
it's just a detroit state of mind
n_ wanna stick 'em up cause o's getting richerer
but birds they speak literature
figuring life out with this last half an ounce
we just trying to defeat the drought
flous like a motherfucking bous
slim thugger sig deuce ninety
they ain't got love for us
throw us in jail for being hustlers
we on that knuckle so why would you fuck with us?
just a few rocks in this pocket for flippin'
everything in the city ain't pretty
when you're looking at the curvy
trying to make a way to survive
even though it ain't right
i'm trying to preach another ghetto hymn
hustling to come up all my life
it's just a detroit state of mind
turn this shit the fuck up
i come up amongst the monster youngsters
they'll blow out a n_ state of mind
seen it all through my optical at spots
aunties and uncles coppin the blow
in areas not many cops can go
god put me here on purpose
or am i worthless? i wish life was picture perfect
pushers pushing the package
neighborhood full of addicts
graveyard full of caskets
where the street noise it's the real deep d voice
everything in the city ain't pretty
when you're looking at the curvy
trying to make a way to survive
even though it ain't right
i'm trying to preach another ghetto hymn
hustling to come up all my life
it's just a detroit state of mind
everything in the city ain't pretty
when you're looking at the curvy
trying to make a way to survive
even though it ain't right
i'm trying to preach another ghetto hymn
hustling to come up all my life
it's just a detroit state of mind
