[Verse 1: Esham]
I stay true to my city, now ain't this a pity
N***as in my city be actin hassadiddy, they be like "damn"
Thats that n***a who be talked that ill shit
But, um, I'm just a n***a who be kickin' the real shit
And I don't believe in shit I don't see
So don't ask me 'bout G-O-D 'cause my religion is reality
Suckas be frontin' for nothin', but I'ma get mine
I been kickin' some old wicked shit, since '89
So you can fear me when you hear me if you wanna
I gotta case of paranoia NATAS gunnin' comin' for ya
Back the fuck up when you see me don't even look my way
Or I'm tempted to fuck up your day, you better pray
N***as talk ho shit about me but bring it to my face
And I'ma put yo ass in yo place, bitch
I represent where I'm from and that's the D-E-T-R-O-I-T
And these motherfuckers kill me
(CHORUS)
"Well we almost lost Detroit"
"How do you get to Detroit?"
"Hey man, wait a minute man you ain't gotta come on like that witcha cat
Ya dig, we was just rappin, you know what I mean man?"
(TNT)
N***as just be scared of the wicked shit
They ain't feelin it, never understand cause it's the real shit
Some suckas hate me cause I'm realer than most
But these chatty n***as in my city keep playin me close
And motherfuckers spreadin gossip all over town
Every time I come around n***as wanna be down
100 pennies in your pocket, 40 dog in yo hand
Don't you know you're just a worker and your boss is my man
So get my dick out your hand because I'm down with the real
Ready to Shaquille a n***a, and fuck how you feel n***a
I've been down since D-A-Y O-N-E it's only me
No Jimmy Walker, dynamite TNT
It's real life till I die and real life till I'm dead
And real life is all I ever really truly said
So go ahead with that bullshit if you must diss me
I represent the city, but it ain't representin me
(CHORUS)
(Mastamind)
Never thought I'd find myself in the middle of war
With the same n***as and bitches I'm tryin to put this shit down for
Stay true to your city, due to your city you're a star now
But there's a price to pay with your life cause you devilish and wild
Givin a fuck that they sayin that my rappin is wrong
It's just so happens that your deepest fear is a wicked song
I'll bust one for you bust your head and leave you headless
You want me to kick this wicked madness you ain't said shit
My mind's about to bust one time, first I'll bust this rhyme
Let me see what evil's on my mind, n***as wishin I'm dyin
If I do I'm takin em with me, I'm takin this whole city with me
Underground, fools die from this wicked sound
The ghetto mist is thick so I can't see shit
All I hear is clickety-click, gotta get these enemies off me dick
You see they hate me, they want me to die but naw
The day I dropped the Blaz4me is the day I almost lost em all
(CHORUS)
