[Verse 1]
Hello, hello, good morning
Horns is blowing
And I’m pissing off the neighbors
Whether homegrown or imported
We feeling shorted
Cause we waiting on our paper (soo)

[Chorus]
Next time, when they ask you where you’re from
You gonna say Detroit city
When we get back on our feet
Next time, when they ask you where you’re from
You gonna say Detroit city
When we get back on our feet (yeah)

[Vesre 2]
You don’t know about the D
You don’t know about the streets
Cause when you in the motor city
Nothing is as pretty as the love, so
You don’t know about the D
You don’t know about the streets
Cause when you in the motor city
Everything ain’t pretty but it’s love though

[Chorus]
Next time, when they ask you where you’re from
You gonna say Detroit city
When we get back on our feet
Next time, when they ask you where you’re from
You gonna say Detroit city
When we get back on our feet (yeah)
