Detroit City Limits lyrics

[Intro]
Detroit raised me
(Reuel, stop playin' with these n*ggas)
Huh?

[Verse 1]
They ain't wanna be around me 'til I got some ice
If you breakin' laws, boy, you better know your rights
Can't be playin' with certain n*ggas, they'll take your life
Unc' still catchin' bricks, he think he Jerry Rice
Ridin' down the Mile, bangin' Blade in the coupe
Detroit raised me, all I know is rap or hoop
These young n*ggas violent, all they know is shoot
Westside n*gga, all I know is get money like Shoop, huh?
Made my first 10K, hit thе Blade dance
The trap bеatin' too hard, here come the raid vans
Countin' all this paper, I don't wanna change hands
Detroit turn a young n*gga to a made man, huh?

[Chorus]
Where I'm from, you either rob or you get a job
Where I'm from, it's sell dope or do bank scams
Where I'm from, you better duck if that K jam
Where I'm from, we'll finesse you if we ain't friends
Where I'm from, even the kids carry chopsticks
Where I'm from, you either get money or drop sh*t
Where I'm from, after high school, we don't fight n*ggas
Where I'm from, even the hoes got hustle like n*ggas
[Verse 2]
These young n*ggas put the hood on they back
They know he from 12th Street 'cause he got it tatted
You ain't gotta tell him get some money, 'cause that's automatic
I know some 7 Mile n*ggas say they 2020
I know how it feel to be broke, it's just been a minute
I know some ATB n*ggas that'll finish n*ggas
I know some Eastside n*ggas say they 42
I know some 8 Mile n*ggas throw the fours too
I know some North End n*ggas really get it in
I know some Southwest n*ggas gettin' bricks again
I know some 55 Bloods right off 7 Mile
I know some 50 Zone n*ggas right off Van Dyke
I know some n*ggas hit the road, n*ggas catchin' flights
I know some n*ggas in the traphouse every night
If you an out-of-town n*gga, better tread lightly
'Cause you'll get your ass killed tryna hustle here
Got out the county, turned my hustle to another gear
n*ggas dyin' before twenty, they'll bust you here
We don't tussle here
Thank God, I can't believe I made another year, huh? Huh?

[Chorus]
Where I'm from, you either rob or you get a job
Where I'm from, it's sell dope or do bank scams
Where I'm from, you better duck if that K jam
Where I'm from, we'll finesse you if we ain't friends
Where I'm from, even the kids carry chopsticks
Where I'm from, you either get money or drop sh*t
Where I'm from, after high school, we don't fight n*ggas
Where I'm from, even the hoes got hustle like n*ggas
[Verse 3]
Real n*ggas rare, life ain't fair
Young n*ggas gettin' popped up at the state fair
Young n*ggas gettin' locked up, doin' bullsh*t
Old n*gga put me on, got his young bull rich, huh?
n*ggas gon' lose they life, it's life
Some good n*ggas got left, man, this sh*t ain't right
If he say it's on sight, then it's on sight
I finally got hood rich, bought me some ice
I been waitin' on this sh*t like my whole life
Young rich n*gga puttin' b*tches on a flight
In the county jail, used to have to write a kite
Now I'm sittin' front row at the fight tonight, huh?

[Chorus]
Where I'm from, you either rob or you get a job
Where I'm from, it's sell dope or do bank scams
Where I'm from, you better duck if that K jam
Where I'm from, we'll finesse you if we ain't friends
Where I'm from, even the kids carry chopsticks
Where I'm from, you either get money or drop sh*t
Where I'm from, after high school, we don't fight n*ggas
Where I'm from, even the hoes got hustle like n*ggas
Where I'm from, you either rob or you get a job
Where I'm from, it's sell dope or do bank scams
Where I'm from, you better duck if that K jam
Where I'm from, we'll finesse you if we ain't friends
Where I'm from, even the kids carry chopsticks
Where I'm from, you either get money or drop sh*t
Where I'm from, after high school, we don't fight n*ggas
Where I'm from, even the hoes got hustle like n*ggas
