Dej Loaf:

Tell 'em if they want it, they can come get that static

I swear I love my city, I just want a little static

See me, they salute me, they ain't ready for that static

Detroit vs. Everybody

Royce Da 5'9":

I took a bite out the rotten apple by the poison tree

All these females need to e-mail to make noise

And I think things changin' a lot, he fuck with my authority

Then he shall see shells, but not by the seashore

If he gangbangin' or not

It's simple as the alphabet

He F with me, that G shall surely see

He definitely is 'bout it, it's retail fraud, he's weak

The honest gesture

The trigger finger 'round the diamond tester, we tail flaw with heat

The same soldier, it's me, myself and I

Ridin' 'round shootin' my biopic and my autobiography

Range Rover, this ain't the squash beef state

You thinkin' makeup, we thinkin' Lark Voorhies face

This twin Eagle's an [?] coupe, might as well ride by in an ambulance

My parachute like skydivin' in Hammer pants

So call it siblin' rivalry

Take his life, call it the unforgivable robbery

A wise man told me that holdin' a grudge is like

Lettin' somebody just live inside your head rent free

Real talk, I don't got time to evict these clowns

Y'all niggas been bitches, that's none of my business, but I don't sip tea

(That's Nickel) ride around his block

All he knows is pitfalls, that's why he's always climbin' out his drop

(I got a question) do you wanna ride or die?

Welcome to Detroit, mothafucka

Big Sean:

Boy, I need no halves and halves, I want the game in entirety

100 percent cut, no stitches required

Welcome to Detroit, where, if you get that promotion

Don't worry, man them bullets will still be at your ass firin'

I still call it safe, I would suck if I was umpirin'

Boy, I hit the beat, I just treat that shit like a diary

I'm offended if you hear my new shit and you ain't rewindin' me

Self made, I never needed your bail or a wire, see

Never callin' collect, I call to collect

My homie wanted a Chevy so I put my dawg in the vet

Plus I'm so loyal that that paper, boy, is all that I fetch

Got the ball in my hand and the ball in the net

Bitch, I'm the D, can't no offense dunk on me

I'm Mr. Big Shot, these hoes get drunk off me

I'm overrespected, my mama's gated community's overprotected

So futuristic, I'm already over my next bitch

Reminiscin' on listenin' to 50 50 times a day

Back when 10th grade was like 50 days away

Tryna get paid 50 ways a day

Used to put 50 on the layaway, now my closet 50 shades of grey

26 and I've done lived a lifetime a few times

From futons to Grey Poupons

In church tryna get a little savings, yeah, coupons

I spit that A1 every day, I'm hittin' new primes

Now the stakes high, niggas surprised at the new lines

Or takin' down my number like "you still ain't got a new line?"

Nah it's the same, we've been laborin' for years

I know it took longer than 9 months, but fuck it, it's all in due time

I turned a blunt to a roach with dreams of bein' a Beatle though

One, two I need to, gotta learn to keep it cerebral

When you come up in a place where everyone got a piece but ain't peaceful

This is just part 1, wait 'til the sequel

Dej Loaf:

Tell 'em if they want it, they can come get that static

I swear I love my city, I just want a little static

See me, they salute me, they ain't ready for that static

Detroit vs. Everybody

Danny Brown:

Comin' from them streets where they thirsty, starvin' to eat

Just a step away from felon, that's why they call it the D

On your bleeder, ho, reason for all of this honesty

Honestly no honor roll, but honor the Phantom stripper pole

'Cause I'm a Lynwood nigga, them young niggas say

Put a sack on your head, you bleed out like [?]

And to think our hood harder, then I might break the door

Know some killers pull the trigger for a Swisher and Molly

In a blink I'll hit your kisser, bet you ass ain't rememberin'

They say my city's tougher than two fat bitches scissoring

So nigga I'm a veteran, retire my letterman

Cough up a line, 313 where I'm from

Zan got me cross eyed like Bernstein’s son

And these niggas try to copy but I hold on this time

It's us vs them, Detroit vs Everybody

Eminem:

Lately it seems as if it's me against the world

Like it was before my life became a movie

And they usually use my mothafuckin' trailer to tease me with

But I flip that script like AB filler

Painkillers to pop that lid off that safety seal

It made me feel amazing, made me celebrate me

And if I may reiterate, I ain't even need a script

I ain't bein' conceited

But I made it to radio, eat a dick

I still never ABC the shit

Mainstream appeal and the skill is what made me iller

Since before they called Jay Dee Dilla

I was daydreamin' one day that I would be the shit

And if I ever end up escapin' the streets, I swear that I would stay here

Still in it, I'm crazy, I'll always be real

Don't make me steal an 18 wheeler

Break all of my friends out of here and take 'em straight to the Mercedes dealer

Peel off back to the same block that we came from, rampage

You crazy for me to flip

What's makin' you think I need a switch? 'Cause I'm Adrian Peterson

When he's raging and heated and on the way to go beat his kid

On the track I spank like he just did

(DETROIT!) I can't never leave this bitch

Sick of bein' treated like me and shit

Jesus, I can see why people stop callin' me to do features

And them cyphers on BET cause if

I wasn't me, I probably wouldn't want to play with me neither, shit

Seems to be reachin' this fever pitch

180 degrees in here

Trying to wait for the cedar chips

MCs bit off more than they can chew like a face full of Swedish Fish

Or Lorena with two penises

Hateful and genius, this inconvenience

And for the record, you won't want this kind of static in your life

When I'm makin' you cling to it

They consider tryna reinsulate yah when it's maybe in for another crazy winter

It's so cold in the D, it is as days begin to tick away

But ain't this what really made me into the angry bitter blonde

Sick of bein' underdog

Don't make me unleash this shit, release this Pit

May even seem as if

I'm yankin' your chain a bit or maybe the way I'm sayin' shit

Is playin' with your relation, changin' it

It's still the same and Shady's still a lady killer

Since the day I went insane and attacked the baby sitter

With a potato peeler and mushed her face into the entertainment center

It's like another plane just entered into Ukraine again

The Bermuda Triangle and attempted to make a safety center

Awaiting anyone who ain't affiliated could be danger

Did you make arrangements with the gangsters when you came here?

And I came to kill 'em

Dej Loaf:

Tell 'em if they want it, they can come get that static

I swear I love my city, I just want a little static

See me, they salute me, they ain't ready for that static

Detroit vs. Everybody

Trick Trick:

What up, though, it's the godfather Trick Trick

You either ridin' with us or gettin' rolled on

That means Detroit vs. Everybody!

Hey, 'em let me get that instrumental, take it down to the hood, let the little homies get this remix crackin'

Detroit!
