Bonachelli - My Flint-Town Lyrics

I'm Tryna write the perfect song, lookin for the perfect words
But what adjectives and verbs really say what I observed
Put it best where it deserves, sometimes it may work my nerves
Make me wanna be gone, but Flint is my home, Its all on my dome
People got me saved as Flint-Town in they phone
And I aint out here tryna do nobody wrong
Got my Detail game strong, yea I'm nice with the cars
Now people finding out that I'm nice with these bars
Aint shooting for the stars No more, I'm shooting at the shooting range
Call me Thanos cause I just might have to shoot some thangs
But its just for protection, I aint acting hard, aint no erection
I'm only reflecting on the fact that some of the people in my city done gone crazy
And they still giving lead to the babies
I done seen them tare my Kingdom Down, I only hope I live to see the return of the crown
Cause I Love My Flint-Town

I love My Flint-Town, A'int Nothing Like Flint-Town
I love My Flint-Town, A'int Nothing Like Flint-Town Yea
I love My Flint-Town, A'int Nothing Like Flint-Town
A'int Nothing Like Flint-Town

We didn't have much but to us it was the world
Back in the days when the homies had jheri curls
And we liked girls and not men, not trying to offend
Anyone whos gay but that's just how it was back then
When the girls had the biker shorts showing they pretty legs
Rocking the braids with all the beads in they head
Michael Jordan's was out, but I wanted me some Patrick Ewing's no doubt
I used to rock em with no shoestrings in them with the tongue hanging out
Thinking back on the hallways but all the schools gone
And the ones that are around they barely holding on
Got me looking like Marvin, What's Going ON
Don't do them like that, don't do the babies wrong
The ones that's living through it continue to stray strong
I hope you feel a little something coming through this song
I done seen them tare my kingdom down, I only hope I live to see the return of the crown
Cause I love my Flint-Town

I love My Flint-Town, A'int Nothing Like Flint-Town
I love My Flint-Town, A'int Nothing Like Flint-Town Yea
I love My Flint-Town, A'int Nothing Like Flint-Town
A'int Nothing Like Flint-Town

Its Flint-Town baby love it or leave it, its Flint-Town Baby love it or leave it hey
Its Flint-Town baby love it or leave it, we coming back yea you best believe it hey
Its Flint-Town baby love it or leave it, its Flint-Town Baby love it or leave it hey
Its Flint-Town baby love it or leave it, we coming back yea you best believe it hey

They ask me if I Love Detroit, I say Yes I Do, I love Pontiac, Lansing, and Grand Rapids too
And anybody going through the same thangs we going through
Bigger cities getting passed over, What are we to do
We the chosen ones, picked and marked for death, just like The Rosen One
Heart of the mitten done turned into a frozen one
I done seen them tare my kingdom down, I only hope I live to see the return of the crown
Cause I love my Flint-Town
