[Royce Da 5'9":]
Yeah, yeah, I'm a every day walk my dogs
Like a motherfuckin gangsta; gun toaster, slash pranksta
In the 7 on Dalvins with Cash, we be mashin
To the club seein who gon' hurl who the fastest
Bitches sippin bubbly and drinkin thug passion
Niggaz get them lil' pistols shoved in they asses
This hundred-and-one round drum take up half the
Trunk so punk, we gon' tear up this club faster
Detroit niggaz only get along with who belong
And if you get on then we can use you
From 7 and Woodward to 7 and Telly - the West side
Where niggaz with 'Cardis, weapons in Pelle's - yes ma
From 7 and Woodward to 7 and Kelly - the East side
It's murder; from Kelly and further
East where peace signs and street signs is unheard of
You can either collide with me or ride with me

In the D every day is violent, it's never silent
All you hear is cop sirens and shots firin
Bein broke got tirin - so how I'm s'posed to eat?

Crack be flippin, you will never catch me slippin
Watch out or get stuck for your jacket

A dude chopped his wife up with a hatchet (damn)
