[Intro]
Let's go!
It's Detroit, stand up!
[Verse 1]
I'm in the truck, sitting high like proper etiquette
Iller than I ever been, blowing on that medicine
Used to have dreams of copping cribs on Edison...
(Gyeah!)
Now I'm doing shit thought I never could afford
Art on the wall like science project boards
Parquet floor, green like Celtic
Furniture you touch be like, "What's this? Velvet?"
Used to play the block with the sack by the pelvis
Fiends O.D.'ing on they toilet like Elvis (Ill!)
[Verse 2]
So now I kill beats
So much coroners pick up notepad sheets
Bullhead skinnies, Hilfiger fleece
Sort of like a futuristic 1993
A lot my niggas dead, a lot my niggas locked
A lot my niggas left and moved on from the block
Some of my niggas here and some got guap
And some ain't gotta piss while on a mothafuckin' pot
We used to play the block, we never get old
The fridge ain't got shit but the bread with the mold
And some ain't had shoes, just the ones with the holes
The one they call talkers with the fuckin' plastic soles
So now we change the system to shit we can't afford and
Check from Mickey D's can't buy a pair of Jordans (Nah)
And hot boys gotta get it how they live
[Hook]
Close your eyes, I'm 'bout to take you to a city
It ain't pretty, it ain't nowhere to go (It ain't nowhere to go)
Run and hide when you're on the other side
It ain't easy, it ain't nowhere to go (It ain't nowhere to go)
Land of misery, a place filled with history
But seriously, it's nowhere to go (It's nowhere to go)
[Verse 3]
I seen my nigga Lucky 'fore he went up for life (Wutup Luck!)
He said, "Brown, you nice, and niggas sin, you sacrifice
Chill on the streets, it ain't here for ya
'Cause when you get locked, nobody care for ya" (Nobody!)
Did a little time, ain't make a phone call (Naw!)
Book stay thick like a church-going broad
Locked in the county, ain't never seen the Duro (Naw)
Now I hit the thrift stores, cop a vintage Polo
Never talk loud to get my point across (Naw)
The only alligator that I rock is Lacoste
Detroit player, word to my nigga Big
Play this type of shit while you rockin' up a big
'Cause I blow two blunts before I brush my teeth
Ain't seen what they looking like, but I'm smoking good
Eating better, so I stay full
Jay stay paid, Brown do too (Wutup!)
[Hook]
Close your eyes, I'm 'bout to take you to a city
It ain't pretty, it ain't nowhere to go (It ain't nowhere to go)
Run and hide when you're on the other side
It ain't easy, it ain't nowhere to go (It ain't nowhere to go)
Land of misery, a place filled with history
But seriously, it's nowhere to go (It's nowhere to go)
