Buried In Detroit (Lucas Lowe Remix) - Mike Posner
I'm a writer and a lover
I'm a Midwest music man
And I've been to a lot of places
But I'm gon' end where I began
I took class in Carolina
Got high smoking joints
And now they know
my name in Paris
But I'll be buried in Detroit
Next to my father
and my father's father too
I used to live in New York City
But baby that ain't no substitute
Not for my hometown
That place people avoid
I've made love in every city
But I'll be buried in Detroit

I don't claim to be a prophet
I just speak my mind
I try to tell it like it is
and sometimes God makes it rhyme
I like my songs how I like my women
Honest and to the point
You see I got fucked up in Stockholm
But I'll be buried in Detroit
Next to my father
and my father's father too
I used to live in New York City
But baby that ain't no substitute
Not for my hometown
That place people avoid
I've made love in every city
But I'll be buried in Detroit

Man I always kept it righteous
knowing it would come back to me
Even when my hunger
was outweighing the strategy
And I'd pray to God like
I hope you a map for me
Up at 5 am like nobody
want it as bad as me
I guess hunger either kill you
or it energize you
Motor city boy I been a driver
The young Detroit legend
I swear I got the city inspired
And bought just to solidify it
D-boy d-boy
that's how I was raised
Boss up and put the city on
forever my ways
Me and ma started charity
to give the kids clarity
And take it further
than the foundation we laid
Thanksgiving Day parade
I got carried through the city
And after that
I hope I get married in the city
And after that
I hope I get buried in the city
Even when I'm gone
you still gon' hear me in the city

Buried in Detroit
Whoa ho whoa ho
Buried in Detroit
Whoa ho whoa ho
Buried in Detroit
