DETROIT LyricsSo this my last chance, my last dance to shine
They waitin' on a shadow puppet
A mannequin that smile on time
These hoes want a new piggy bank
A hollow shell with some shine
But the devil back in the ballroom
One last waltz before the decline
Nobody saw it comin’, outside they was hummin’ —
“What’s new in Detroit?”
A Chi-Town boy on fire, preachin' truth they can't exploit
Rock-A-Fella in my veins, now I’m dancin' in the ruins
Gave the blueprint to the game
But now the blueprint's human
Thе mask fall off, devil weepin’ in the mirror
Tried to forgеt the glory
But my diamonds whisper clearer
They say Ye been missin’ — I been drowned in gin and sins
They tried to break me down
But pain just thickened my skin
The GOAT... The GOAT...
My mind’s a blank page — ink it, it turns to fire
Wrote verses on pain
Now my pain turned to choirs
Suicidal thoughts with my momma in my dreams
Her voice is the seatbelt when I’m burstin’ at the seams
But lately I been thinkin’ —
What if I ain’t strong enough to hold it?
If legacy’s a coffin
Do I climb in and fold it?
Detroit in the rearview...
My past on loop like a preview...
They scream Ye like a god, but I bleed too...
I breathe pain, write Psalms that the streets knew...
I gave ‘em Jesus Walks, and they crucified me later
Now I’m walkin' out the club like the last savior
Every chain on my neck’s a chapter in my stress
But they don’t love Ye, they just love the success
Call me bipolar, call me genius, call me wild —
But even my enemies mimic my style
Detroit, this one’s for the broken dreams
For every voice they never let scream
...I didn’t care about my son...
...but he still danced...
...he still danced
