[Intro]
Ah
We done been through so much
City got so much blood, so much hate on it (Helluva made this beat, baby)
Detroit

[Chorus]
Ain't no love in my city, blood on my city (But you know we know of our strength though, right?)
Shells from them slugs in my city, hold up (Buh, buh)
They wanna take the guns out the city, know them boys got too many (And if we come together, we can't be stopped, you hear me?)
Try to make us be a victim, they gon' riot like the '60s (Ain't no weakness here, man)
Ain't no love in my city, blood on my city
Shells from them slugs in my city, hol' up (All that weak shit out the window, grrah)
They wanna take the guns out the city, know them boys got too many (Probably can find that shit somewhere else)
Try to make us be a victim, they gon' riot like the 60's (But in Detroit, we know of our strength, it's on)

[Verse 1]
The shit ain't new, it been chaotic since the them bombings (They been turnt)
Jump out with that pistol, n***a, do we have problem? (Brr)
Welcome to Detroit, where one day it'll be quiet
The next day, that body counter shoot up to a thousand (Shoot up to a thou')
I grew up on Joy Road, it's a lot of villains
How we gon' put them choppers down? These people tryna kill us
'Cause they puttin' up prisons, stadium for the Pistons
Only thing n***as ain't puttin' up is them pistols (Is them pistols)
Crack and heroin came and crashed the whole system (Facts)
Saw my cousin serve his mama, shit made me vicious (Ah)
Detroit public schools ain't even teachin' the children
The ambulance takin' too long to reach the victims (D.O.A.)
Police doin' illegal raids in my whole section
Destroyin' black owned businesses by the second
My city took a hit, construction couldn't repair the damage
This ain't the time to be weak, we gotta stick together (Stand up, n***a)
Is you gon' get a weapon or go get a reverend? (Huh?)
I remember talkin' to my granddaddy
He said Detroit ain't been the same since '67
If it wasn't for that, it'd probably be some money in my family (Damn)
How the fuck you think that make me feel?
If anybody doubt that what I'm sayin' real
Type "Detroit versus Baltimore, 1967"
They postponed the game, they ain't want they players killed
[Chorus]
Ain't no love in my city, blood on my city
Shells from them slugs in my city, n***a (Look on the ground, n***a)
They wanna take the guns out the city, know them boys got too many
Try to make us be a victim, they gon' riot like the '60s
Ain't no love in my city, blood on my city
Shells from them slugs in my city, n***a (Look on the ground, n***a)
They wanna take the guns out the city, know them boys got too many
Try to make us be a victim, they gon' riot like the '60s (Ayy, ayy, ah)

[Verse 2]
A violent public disorder (It's chaotic, bro)
These boys on fire and they ain't want no water (They want revenge)
You call it protocol, that shit really torture
They see us livin' and we gettin' it, they tryna destroy it
Disturbance in Detroit, Michigan
Let us live in peace or we tearin' up this bitch again
Heard the government got some people, they wanna send 'em in (Tell them send them motherfuckers in)
And we ready to show our strength

[Outro]
'Cause ain't no love in my city, nah (Nah, ain't no love, n***a)
Too much blood on my city, ayy (Way too much shit done happened now)
Come get these guns out the city (Ain't no turnin' back, man)
Before we riot like the '60s, ah (You think I'm playin'? You think we fuckin' playin'?)
Ain't no love in my city, n***a (Ah)
Too much blood on my city, n***a (Way too much shit done happened already, bro)
Come get these guns out my city, n***a (Don't put them guns down)
Before we riot like the '60s, n***a, ah, n***a
