Red Pill:
They say the new Detroit is coming
People flocking back the opposite way on the James Couzens
And I don't know if it's ill intentioned
The city needed something, I suppose it's still progression
Positive folks who wanna take on that endeavor should
But does it need another store that's filled with leather goods?
And when I think about Shinola watches
I don't think about Detroit, I think of stolen profits
They praise the entrepreneurs, the restaurateurs
And tell the residents they should be resting assured
Gang busting, beefing police back up
Patting themselves on the back for putting street lights up
New ambulances still don't run on time
Cops still harassing people, pulling guns on time
Let's just see how long the new dollars last
When the people with the blue collars ask
Hook (RP):
And we are the blood, sweat and tears, The people, we keep the love and the fear
Doesn't matter where the hell you go, There'll always be a place called home
We know there's a time for a change, but you are where your heart remains
Doesn't matter where you take that road, there'll always be a place called home

As soon as I heard the song Like Really I just had to buy the album. Then I finished listening to all the songs, and knew I made a good choice. Oddisee is one of the best hip hop artists on bandcamp. Devin Anderson

Went to college at UMD-College Park and Oddisee and the rest of the MMG had a hold on those of us looking for great music. Nostalgia and the beats still hold up. Salaam. ericburkley
