St. Detroit

(albüm: Purgatory - 2023)

Went from a sinner to a saint, not from a saint to a sinner
I'm from a town where they eat you for dinner
It's called Detroit, and it's cold like December
You could lose your life in the dead of winter
Michael Jackson said remember the times, remember my rhymes
Remember I led the way, you couldn't see you was blind
Now I find murders in Saint Andrew's, didn't plan to
Grab the microphone and bless you and your mans too
The spirit of Detroit, St. Detroit, St. 313
Who knew God D-I-D, who knew God D-I-D
You can't get in Heaven unless you showing positivity
Everybody in here know what you was doing on the streets
St. Detroit, St. Detroit, watch me spread love
Only do it 'cause there's so much hate up in the dirty glove
Where they give out slugs, they don't give out hugs
Sitting down in spots, they be selling drugs

I know a lot of y'all wanna ball, sell your soul to have it all
But it makes me nervous, wake up, go to Sunday service
On them days you feeling worthless, pray to God to give you purpose
Say you wanna go to Heaven 'fore you underneath the surface
Sipping lean, God bless the fiends, how we not to blame
Yeah you sold a lot of dope but sold a lot of hope, we not the same
Walking through the fire, never got burnt 'cause I am the flame
God sent me here to protect you, you should be glad I came
Flap my wings and fly away, I will never leave you
Here to lead the people, hear no, see no, say no evil
Oh yeah, this life ain't fair, don't forget to say your prayers
You can chase your dreams, but remember that it's a nightmare
Don't nobody love you, don't nobody care
Desire and despair go hand in hand, speaking man to man
I'ma tell you like this so you understand
It was all written, out your hands, this is God plans
Went from unholy to holy, you know me, shine like a rolly
But my mind's still sharper than the swords on shinobi
I'm the Obi Wan Kenobi and this the Last Jedi
St. Detroit flying in on a red-eye
