Waawiiyaatanong
Sicker than your average
My Detroit Players
Sicker-sicker than your average
My-my-my Detroit Players
Sicker than your average
My Detroit Players
Sicker-sicker than your average
My Detroit-My Detroit Players
This that land that bend by the river
Making circular whirl pools to heavens gates
Non popular truth is gettin told today
I have not read their news, I strategize the plays
In a golden cage on stolen land I choose to escape
Land of the greed home of the hate
This where the cars were made
And where the hustlers get paid
And we the unique home to revolutionary change
My ancestors are Blade Icewood and J Dilla
They help me heal my ways, and break through from all the stigma
Coney dogs and glock 17s & bipolar teens
These are just some traumatizing things in my city
But I love it
I'm from the dirty glove, I wouldn't change it up
This oppression raised me, and slum village they held me down
Now I'm living up town around the north end
And this the city people wanna take up all their fortune
Sicker than your average
My Detroit Players
Sicker-sicker than your average
My-my-my Detroit Players
Sicker than your average
My Detroit Players
Sicker-sicker than your average
My Detroit-My Detroit Players
Sicker than your average
My Detroit Players
Sicker-sicker than your average
My-my-my Detroit Players
Sicker than your average
My Detroit Players
Sicker-sicker than your average
My Detroit-My Detroit Players
Cold city the people will never love you back
They too busy making sure they securing the bag
I come from the ghetto
I'm lucky to be here
We run in the shadows
We see in the clear
Tacos and tequilas and them land grabs
All the native people they yell LAND BACK
Protecting all the water before the collapse
I just laugh with all my seeds and all my straps
Gas masks
Needed when we taking over streets
My voice slaps
Beauty on these calculated beats
Crypto plans
Switching up from chasing all that cheese
Defend the land
And I'm just tryna save up all them trees
You don't hear me tho
It's big business profit off all the sickness
My NDN hands will try to stop the illness
You gonna feel this
All this realness that I'm dealing
In Detroit trenches
Doing my best with all the healing
Sicker than your average
My Detroit Players
Sicker-sicker than your average
My-my-my Detroit Players
Sicker than your average
My Detroit Players
Sicker-sicker than your average
My Detroit-My Detroit Players
Sicker than your average
My Detroit Players
Sicker-sicker than your average
My-my-my Detroit Players
Sicker than your average
My Detroit Players
Sicker-sicker than your average
My Detroit-My Detroit Players
I'm from a place where the colonizer thrive
Stuck in the game, where the tribe gotta die
Can't take the masters house down with the masters tools
Why you think my name IshKode, you better ask soon
And I'm trouble to the mayor
Do away with white saviors
Fuck all this gentrification
This is stolen land and stolen labor
Put the hood back into to the neighbor
No safe spaces, I need danger
I need more success, I am not a failure
I'm just staying blessed, we can be more greater
There's gonna be a lot of slowing singing
And flower bringing
If my burglar alarm starts ringing
What you think all these gunnnz is for
What you think all these gunnnz is for
My Detroit Players
Sicker-sicker than your average
My-my-my Detroit Players
Sicker than your average
My Detroit Players
Sicker-sicker than your average
My Detroit-My Detroit Players
This that land that bend by the river
Making circular whirl pools to heavens gates
