Illmef - Ren City (feat. Fonic Oddity) Lyrics

Dropped a thousand and
Ten seconds from Ren Cen
Detroit to K-Zoo
Dirty south and back again
Globe trot till souls rot
We missed connections
We short-circuit
On sordid words at intersections
Take a walk
Cause we're not taking orders
From comptrollers
That are really just porky hoarders
We cast stones on
Detroit Rock City corroders
We on the line
It's how we brown bag but act sober
Potholes on shot roads
You lose lunch and spill drinks
Go take a swim cause
Rouge no longer still stinks
We've been pushed to the brink
Locked in our precincts
But you count on these things
To distract us from reasoning
Motown and soul now
To fast-talkin rappers
Scrappers on crappers
Sleeping on a trashed mattress
Packards to ashes
We peaked and rolled backwards
Forget all your manners
We live happily after

Welcome to Ren City
More souls lost than they are found
But get stuck motherf*cker
Where you think you goin?
I think it's best if you just stick around
Yeah you like the way that sounds
Welcome-welcome to
More-m-m-more
More soul
Welcome to
Welcome to

Detroit muscle
America hustles that way
What struggle
Our butts flicked to the ashtray
U-S-A left Wayne
In the fast lane
You sleep on us
Keeping us in a bad way
People moving to
Back on track when
Public servants
Stab em in the back with
The city key
And plea a lesser sentence
Limb infections
Make sawed-off's our present weapon
It's our road
Forget domestic lemons
Like mayor elects
Blowing after paid affections
Short terms in
The Dept of Corrections
Clip and Kill-Patrick
Before he wins his election
Take the D
We Headquarters of Gen. Motors
Ren Cen, where sayers
And doers rub shoulders
We brave the hail
Like Honolulu snowblowers
Steel n winters are cold
But the roar is colder

You know it's called Ren City
And f*ck yeah you like the way that sounds
We already tag champs of this motherf*cker
But now we bout to get us a crown

Gravel and grit

A match and a spark till we dance devilish
The flickering of flames rise in the distance
Don't hold your breath, let em know you exist
Cause we revel here amongst the gravel and grit
Far from fit or able
Most definitely unstable
Rivers touching maples
Got that international flavor
But these stale vanilla wafers
Keep demanding their favors
Enable a fable
That they are your f*cking savior
Yet their success
Would just guarantee failure
We are the ready
The willing
And able
So kick down the gate and sprint out the stable
Believe in your fate, strength, and valor
F*ck their opinion, don't be mislabeled
Get the f*ck down till we piss off your neighbor
Lighting firecrackers bitch, better turn up them turntables
Ill MF and Fonic give a f*ck where you came from

Welcome to Ren City
Not the same this time around
Step into our city
This bitch is gonna burn ya down
Yeah you like the way that sounds
Welcome to
More-more soul
Wel-Welcome welcome

Suckers and busters
Make your ass pay for Lays
For us it's no charge
I guess we're Better Made
Rock n' Rye
Crackin whiskey on Coke you say?
We're doing time in a bottle
Like Croce say
Stroh's for Buds
Damn straight we'll make the trade
Tipsy in the mitt
Mainly because we love this state
Stand by the statements
We all claim to say
No way Jose'
F*ck the way our day's portrayed
The master master copy
So don't attempt to trace
Our feet, as they say
Are halfway in the grave
Chained to weights
Diving off Ambassador plank
Overdue is Ren City
From deep in the bank
Light up the Grand Belt
And burn our ends with entrails
As the wind blows
We hitch to it our damn sails
Toughen up
We're fighting both tooth and nails
Think we're be-below you?
We're floorboards, you tell tales

It's called
It's called
It's called Ren City
It's called Ren City
More-more
More soul
Welcome-welcome
Welcome to
Welcome-welcome to
Welcome to
Yeah you like the way that sounds
