Eminem - Detroit Vs. Everybody

[Hook: Dej Loaf]

Tell 'em, if they want it

They can come get that (static)

I swear I love my city

I just want less (static)

See me, they salute me

They ain't ready for that (static)

Detroit vs. Everybody

[Verse 1: Royce Da 5'9"]

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

All these females need to email to make noise

And now things changin' a lot

He fuck with my authority

Then he shall see shells, but not by the seashore

If he gang bangin' or not

It's simple as the alphabet

He F with me, that G shall surely see

He definitely as 'bout it as retail fraud, he's sweet

The honest gesture

The trigger finger 'round the diamond tester

We tell flaw with heat

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

Ridin' 'round shootin' my biopic in my autobiography

Range Rover, this ain't the squash beef state

You thinkin' make-up, we thinkin' Lark Voorhies face

The twin Eagles'll air his coupe

Might as well ride by in an ambulance

My pair'll shoot, 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 of 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 (It's Nickel)

Ridin' 'round his block; all he know 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, motherfucka!) (Sean Don…)

[Verse 2: Big Sean]

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

Hundred 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

I'm never callin' collect, I call to collect

My homie wanted a Chevy, so I put my dog in the 'Vette

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

If the ball in my hand, then 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 gated community's overprotective

So futuristic I'm already over my next bitch

Reminiscin' on listenin' to 50 fifty times a day

Back when tenth grade was like fifty days away

Tryna get paid fifty ways a day

Used to put fifty on the layaway

Now my closet fifty shades of grey

26, and I done lived a lifetime a few times

From futons to Grey Poupons

In church, tryna get a little savings, yeah, a coupon

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

Now the stakes high, niggas surprised at the new lines

Takin' down my number, like, "You still ain't got a new line?"

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

I know it took way longer than nine months

But fuck it, it's all in due time

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

Don't want to, I need to, ya 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 one, wait 'til the sequel, lil' bitch!

[Hook: Dej Loaf]

Tell 'em, if they want it

Detroit vs. Everybody

[Verse 3: Danny Brown]

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

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

Arguably the whole reason for all of this honesty

Honestly no honor roll, but honored up in them streets

‘Cause I'm a Linwood nigga, them young niggas hit ya

Put a stack on your head, you'll bleed a lake on Grand River

If you think your hood harder, then I might beg to differ

Know some killers pull the trigger for a Swisher and Miller

If the blicka hit ya kisser, bet yo' ass not rememberin'

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

So, nigga, I'm a veteran, retire my letterman

Have K's in front of your school, but I ain't goin' to Kettering

Cough up a lung, 313 where I'm from

Xan got me cross-eyed like Bernstein’s son

Any nigga try to copy, put a hole in his top

It's us vs. them, Detroit vs. Everybody

[Verse 4: Eminem]

Lately it seems as if it's me against

The world, like it was before my life became a movie and they used to use my mothafuckin' trailer to tease me with

But I flipped that script like a refill of

Painkillers to pop the lid off that safety seal

It made me feel amazing, Navy SEAL of bravery

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

Ain't bein' conceited, but I made it to radio—eat a dick!

I still never ABC this shit

Mainstream appeal, but the skill is what made me iller

Since before they called Jay Dee Dilla

I was daydreamin' one day I would be the shit

And if I ever end up escapin' these streets

I swear that I would stay here still

And if I'm crazy, I'll always be real

Don't make me steal an eighteen-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

On a rampage too crazy for me to flip

What's makin' you think I need a switch?

‘Cause I'm Adrian Peterson

When he's ragin' and heated and

On the way to go beat his kid?

On a track get spanked like he just did

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

Sick of bein' treated like we ain't shit

But Jesus, I can see just why people quit 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' its fever pitch

Hundred and eighty degrees in here

Shoulder blade full of cedar chips

MC's just bit off more than they can chew

Like a face full of Swedish Fish

Or Lorena with two penises

Hateful and geniusness inconvenience

And for the record, you don't want this type of static

In your life, when I'm makin' you cling to it

May consider tryin' to reinsulate your windows

May be in for another crazy winter

‘Cause so cold in the D, it is

As days begin to tick away, but ain't this really

What made me into the angry bitter blonde?

But ain't we sick of bein' underdogs?

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 in which I'm sayin' shit

Is playin' with you, but ain't shit changin'

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

Since the day I went insane and then attacked the babysitter

With a potato peeler

And mushed her face into the entertainment center

It's like another plane just entered into Ukraine again

Or the Bermuda Triangle and

Attempted to make a safe descent

Awaiting anyone who ain't affiliated, it could be danger

Did you make arrangements with the gangsters 'fore you came here? And if they mention us…

[Hook: Dej Loaf]

Tell 'em, if they want it

They can come get that (static)

I swear I love my city

I just want less (static)

See me, they salute me

They ain't ready for that (static)

Detroit vs. Everybody

[Outro: 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! Okay!
