[Verse]

Guess who's back in the cold wind's blast

City of shadows where the die is cast

Cruising down Eight Mile running from the past

Stakes high my life's a twisted contrast

[Verse 2]

Lost in the D where the alley cats scream

Broken bottles tell tales of shattered dreams

Graffiti's my scripture spray paint my theme

From the gutter to the stage I reign supreme

[Chorus]

Detroit nights got me spitting fire

Life's a game of chance I'm the live wire

Battle demons each day I'm a survivor

Heart beats loud it's my amplifier

[Verse 3]

Rhymes unpolished like the city's streets

Echoes of struggle in my chest beats

Success ain't served up gourmet it's cold eats

From wreckage to riches listen to the feats

[Bridge]

Voices of the lost are my nightly choir

Streetlights flicker dreams never tire

In this concrete jungle we walk the wire

I spit the truth call me the verbal squire

[Chorus]

Detroit nights got me spitting fire

Life's a game of chance I'm the live wire

Battle demons each day I'm a survivor

Heart beats loud it's my amplifier
