(Intro:)
Ha
Let me walk you through my city for a minute
Show you how we live over here, on the Detroit side of things
Detroit raised me

(Verse 1:)
The way I grew up life was hard
If you wonder why I treat you how I treat you I got scars
Truer bars, robbin' n***** for they cars this life is ours
Daddy gone, you gon’ end up robbin' son like Denard
Throw a bullet at a n**** 50 yards I got an arm
If n***** sleep and still bet this wake them up like an alarm
I can talk a young bitch right out her panties I got charm
Or I can go to Hutch and spend like 20 thousand on a charm
All my young n***** grew up around the beef just like a farm
I know some cow dеns that got a hunnid bows tucked in a barn
My old n**** rich off selling Oxy scripts he got a pharm
Powеr forward in the court, the judge tryna make it hard

(Bridge:)
Detroit raised me
Let me walk you through my city for a minute
Let me walk you through my hood a lil bit
Let me show you what these young n***** go through where I'm from
We’re jumping off the porch where [?]
(Verse 2:)
When you playin' on defense you can't be scared to take a charge
In the center of the block, ready to shoot, just like a guard
Wallet in my pocket I can't let these n***** pull my card
North Carolina dope step on it with my heel we sellin' tar
I can't chill, tryna get rich for real, I need a mil'
My only job, yell peace to the guys, free Dolla Bill
Street n****, I be riding with my whistle Emmett Till
Wizard Kelly you don't see me, I’m still ballin’ Bradley Beal
I got rich friends, if I go broke, I'll prolly switch hands
My AR will send a n**** under like some quicksand
B22’s hold me up like a kickstand
Audemars Piguet, handcuffs Rolly Wristband

(Bridge:)
Detroit Raised Me
West side baby
I'm a Detroit baby you feel me
West side kid to be exact, you know
But the Eastside love me
They love the kid
I can't help it
Let me show you what I went through
Realest young n**** ever

(Verse 3:)
I watched my daddy hustle hard
They caught bro Stanley in the Pen, he kicking n***** off the yard
Everyday I get up hustle I'm alone, I feel like Marv
456 I got the bank, you doing tricks, you getting barred
Unc’ got the cheap deals just to feed his baby when they need meals
I know some n***** 50 years old they in the beef still
These young n***** wanna be Lebron James or Meek Mill
Out of towners don't wanna come here, they know we kill (Ha)
I got real shit I been going through my baby
That's just how it is, where I live, Detroit Raised Me
Unc' and em been selling dogfood since the 80's
Young dawg just got his first kill, you can't save him
All I know is hustle, fuck n***** pay me
I just wanna make it out before these n***** take me out
(Outro:)
Detroit raised me
Westside kid, that's what you gotta know
Born and raised huh
Westside kid you know
You feel me
Tied in everywhere
[?]
From Westside to Eastside (Ha)
Detroit Raised Me
