esham - worst place 2 be lyrics

(hook)
they say we livin’ in the worst place to be
what you call h#ll is home to me
it’s my life, i’m just tryin’ to do what’s right

(verse 1)
you see the potholes in the road
street lights broke out
three people found dead
up in the dopehouse
if you ain’t gettin’ paid
must be smoked out
blades on the escalade
and you know they poke out
what you know about
scared to death of goin’ out
streets are quiet as a mouse
burglars breakin’ in your house
homie, let detroit live
let detroit live
ya’ll done took everything from us
we ain’t got no more to give
this world is full of saints and sinners
but detroit city is full of winners
man it’s cold like december
michael jackson, you remember
he was tryin’ to put a amus#m#nt park downtown
but some silly clown had to tell him no
why give out jobs in the ghetto
let ’em stay po’
and ya’ll wonder why we can’t sco’
they done jacked the city up
before kwame a long time ago

(hook)
they say we livin’ in the worst place to be
what you call h#ll is home to me
it’s my life, i’m just tryin’ to do what’s right
they say we livin’ in the worst place to be
what you call h#ll is home to me
it’s my life, i’m just tryin’ to do what’s right

(verse 2)
you see the detroit public school system’s terrible
that make learning conditions unbearable
ever since the young boy put the crack in hand
got the neighborhoods lookin’ like pakistan
what’s happenin’, what’s the action plan
foreclose on your home for the taxes and
you sittin’ still, it’s gettin’ real
lot of people done split right up out of hitsville
where did we go wrong, once we were strong
i’m slippin’ but i’m losin’ my grip and i’m holdin’ on
where’s the spirit of detroit, it can’t be gone
we gonna make it through the storm
ya’ll it won’t be long

(outro)
right now in detroit, you going to have to say it
even to the casual observer, is on its death bed
and the issue is what type of cpr can we administer detroit to take it off the deathbed it’s on now
i mean you look at it…it’s a, it’s a broke city
it’s a city uh, that’s saddled with corruption
it’s a city where the public school system, bar none is the worst in america
and we’ve got a mess on our hands in detroit
