Sometimes Detroit is everything I Love
Sometimes Detroit is everything I Hate
On a scale from Coney Island
To senseless violence
We’re not all bad
But then again
We’re not all great
That’s my mistake
At perspective glance
We are all great
Just in a congested space
Where we’re tricked into
Thinking we have to step
On our friend to get to 1st place
They fooled us once…
And I’m thinking if they fool us again
At what point do we start to feel disgraced?
Don’t have much room
On my plate for disgrace
So I got together with my friends
We created a play…
Let’s take it back to black bottom ..we said
Let’s call it Paradise Valley: THE NEW BLACK BOTTOM
Yeah that’s it…we liked that
And as we liked that
We started to Love it..a lot
We worked hard on a plot
A plot to thicken minds of color
Join together company’s of color
And while in the company of each other
Work to strike a financial flow so wide
That it reaches back to Africa
And writes a new chapter for
For all of humanity…
It all starts here
In Detroit
