Ro$$ R.O.B. - This Is Michigan Lyrics




My mama asked me why I always got my strap on me
She say I act like somebody coming after me
Naw I don't think they tryin' to kill me
But This Is Michigan and shit happens feel me
My mama asked me why I always got my strap on me
She say I act like somebody coming after me
Naw I don't think they tryin' to kill me
But This Is Michigan and shit happens feel me

I'm from the city where you can get killed over glasses
F*ck who you are niggas car jacking pastors
You can get your brains splattered if you don't draw faster than them niggas tryin' to put you on the canvas
And nigga got more hammers than your local Home Depot
And stupid niggas get in shootouts with they own people
That's why I keep the heat yo
Because the streets cold
A fire nigga into pyro not the cryo
Better check my bio
I grew up off of 5 Mile
Where I done seen more street fights than Ken, Ryu and Guile
And I done heard more gun shots than a game of Contra
That's why "keep the heat in reach" is my mantra
Niggas need automatic anonymous and a sponsor
Cause they'll get your hands in the air like a concert
And I ain't tryin' to be nobody's hypeman
Not tryin' to take one just tryin' to keep my life fam

My mama asked me why I always got my strap on me
She say I act like somebody coming after me
Naw I don't think they tryin' to kill me
But This Is Michigan and shit happens feel me
My mama asked me why I always got my strap on me
She say I act like somebody coming after me
Naw I don't think they tryin' to kill me
But This Is Michigan and shit happens feel me

Wanna know why I always got my gun
Because my 9 is faster than 9-1-1
Man I don't get that
I'm supposed to call, sit back, wait on dispatch instead of click clack
Well you can forget that but remember this
I come with two 9's like the day before September 10th
It's no coincidence that that's the day of my birth
I'm gonna defend my shit til I lay in the dirt
It's an amendment which some say shoulda been the first
But it's the second so I'm gonna keep protecting with my weapon
Won't be no catching me at the right place at the right time
I hope you brought yours because I brought mine
I bought 9s with full mags and hollow tips
Everyday another brother end up on the homo-list
And I'mma miss all my homies that done passed away
And for my daughter's sake I hope I make it past today

My mama asked me why I always got my strap on me
She say I act like somebody coming after me
Naw I don't think they tryin' to kill me
But This Is Michigan and shit happens feel me
My mama asked me why I always got my strap on me
She say I act like somebody coming after me
Naw I don't think they tryin' to kill me
But This Is Michigan and shit happens feel me

It don't make a difference if you're as innocent as an infant when you're living in Michigan
Bullets will judge you as if you're guilty as sin
And dirty niggas will try to make you as filthy as them
From the D
All the way up to the U-P
We got guns in our H.O.M.E.S from Huron to Erie
Not just The Glove but the whole United States
Cops will shoot you in the back
Your friends will shoot you in the face
We got 4 cities in the top 25
So even if you survive
You may not be alive
Cause you know someone who died
Due to gun violence
I lost my dad that's why I'm out here with my gun riding
Since deciding that he won't fall victim to The Mitten
When you see him
Know he got his gun with him
And I'd advise you to do the same
Because you versus Michigan State ain't a game

My mama asked me why I always got my strap on me
She say I act like somebody coming after me
Naw I don't think they tryin' to kill me
But This Is Michigan and shit happens feel me
My mama asked me why I always got my strap on me
She say I act like somebody coming after me
Naw I don't think they tryin' to kill me
But This Is Michigan and shit happens feel me
