lyrics

Baby I feel like Detroit City
Baby I feel like Detroit City, Detroit City

Sometimes I feel weak enough to fall over
But If I let it show through they’ll see it and fold me under myself
crush me like a boulder on the cement.
A concrete oder was stoppin me from bein brave.
Slave to my own self. Slave to the fear for my own health.
I’d like to be the king of where my dreams go.
But if I dream around here what do we know
Free Throws, but no team mates and no coach.
No pretty cheerleaders sitting on the side ropes.
And if anyones back against the wall with me
You know what I’m sayin...

I feel like Detroit City
Baby I feel like Detroit City

...On my mind. You thought about it did nothin and now your outta time.
I remember sittin in my car thinkin. 97 cavelier, with the engine light blinkin
and it still is damn. I think it must run cuz i need it to.
It’s gonna see me to the next open mic with my drivers ed money.
Walked straight in- everybody’s lookin at me funny-
Got CD’s in my backpack, tracks through my phone jack,
probly think i rap wack. But they don’t know that I’ve been
doin this a long time with no support nothin but
thats why lately I’ve been fuckin with a place called

I feel like Detroit City
Baby I feel like Detroit City

20 for the gas

5 for the show
Back of my mind I know
I probably ain't got a damn chance at this.
Alone In my room as I clap to this
I got my hands up
bustin through the door they hands up
lookin for a savior just hand up
baby put my demons down help my morals stand up
Stead of sittin home alone wishin I was man enough
Had a run of bad luck, but lookin for my callin
everyone will hate me for it, but I’m sick and tired of stalin.
Ok ok, the kids into music is he.
But right now nobodys listening so…
