Solution - Home (Detroit) (Remix) lyrics

[Intro]: You are about to witness the very excited story of a city and it's people. It will be a new adventure that will open new sights [Verse One]: I was born three hundred years ago, I swear Never thought I'd lose my figure Nowadays I'm best known for cars, plaques, Motown and J. Dilla I say my real name is "Straight River" It's actually French, "Détroit", I bet you ain't know that did ya? Named in the romance language Now I'm filled with gangstas, hey go figure Favorite color is money green Nickname is the D, favorite number is 313 I break men apart with visions I've seen From rallies of the King to the fall of the Ford regime and Once I was needed Now I'm just white and trash like semen Forgive me if I sound a little jaded But I can't help the pain and my beauty is faded From the guns and the d** of course My people don't clap, they just send rounds of applause Standing ovations on any occasion Jeah, you might swear D. Wade played here in the way he's blazin' Once upon a time, I was nothin' short of amazin' [Hook]: Back in the day I was great I had Ford portrayed known for the Great Lakes But present time is a waste Cause the people and the spirit of the city lose faith Back in the day I was safe No guns No d** now my wheels gon' break How much more can I take? Screamin' "Is there somethin' wrong?" [Verse Two]: Motor City Dilla Ville, home to my heart A revolution started a spark Ain't no park where the cypher builds I was 13 thinkin' 'bout Cadillac wheels Cruisin' down Greenfield Detroit fitted hat turned to the side and chill Mammoth had the deals where we used to pop wheelies and steal Mixtapes out the clinics crates And break the jakes Home of the Great Lakes My first love gave me opportunites to rip mics Respect, pounds and hugs Word got around and I got a little buzz From ? , where I stack funds Do it once in the booth The soul of Detroit had s**a MC's spooked Huh, town that show and proves like Big Proof And Rock City I dwell Motown clientele, I freak Gazelle's well in Hitsville Yeah, profit dominate sales ? on my arena when I bust lyrical shells like the young LL So check me out [Hook]: Back in the day I was great I had Ford portrayed, known for the Great Lakes But present time is a waste Cause the people and the spirit of the city lose faith Back in the day I was safe No guns No d** now my wheels gon' break How much more can I take? Screamin' "Is there somethin' wrong?"
