[Royce Da 5'9"]
Yeah, yeah, I'mma every day walk my dogs
Like a motherfuckin gangsta; gun toaster, slash pranksta
In the 7 on Dalvins with Cash, we be mashin
To the club seein who gon' hurl who the fastest
Bitches sippin bubbly and drinkin thug passion
N***as get them lil' pistols shoved in they asses
This hundred-and-one round drum take up half the
Trunk so punk, we gon' tear up this club faster
Detroit n***as only get along with who belong
And if you get on then we can use you
From 7 and Woodward to 7 and Telly - the West side
Where n***as with 'Cardis, weapons in Pelle's - yes ma
From 7 and Woodward to 7 and Kelly - the East side
It's murder; from Kelly and further
East where peace signs and street signs is unheard of
You can either collide with me or ride with me

[Big Herk]
In the D every day is violent, it's never silent
All you hear is cop sirens and shots firin
Bein broke got tirin - so how I'm s'posed to eat?
I chose the street, fuck a job, they not hirin
Cats be trippin, 'gnac we sippin
Crack be flippin, you will never catch me slippin
Watch out or get stuck for your jacket
AIDS spreadin, strap up 'fore you catch it
A dude chopped his wife up with a hatchet (damn)
You might live to see eighteen
She got raped, he gagged her mouth, so she can't scream
It's the murder Mitten, crime is risin
They robbed a bank, they gave my n***a Hank time for drivin
We hustle, ain't no 9-to-5'n (uh-uh)
When beef go down, I might just have to do some time, I'm ridin (fo'sho')

I have your block, in them white tees reppin your ghost
Meanwhile I'm in the skyloft, stretchin the coke

Pussy ass n***as lie in they bars

My n***as cutthroat gangsta, beat you to death
