Capo III
[Intro]
Em Am7 G 2x
[verse 1]
[Em]I'm a writer and a lover
I'm a [Am7]Midwest music m[G]an
[Em]And I've been to a lot of places
But I'm gon' [Am7]end where I [G]began
[Em]I took class in Carolina
Got [Am7]high smoking [G]joints
[Em]And now they know my name in Paris
But I'll be [Am7]buried in [G]Detroit
[Chorus 1]
Next to my [Em]father, and my [Am7]father's father [G]too
[Em]I used to live in New York City
But baby, [Am7]that ain't no [G]substitute
[Em]Not for my hometown
That [Am7]place people [G]avoid
[Em]I've made love in every city
But I'll be buried in Detroit
[Bridge]
Em Am7 G 4x
[Verse 2]
[Em]I don't claim to be a prophet
[Am7]I just speak my [G]mind
[Em]I try to tell it like it is
And sometimes[Am7] God makes it [G]rhyme
[Em]I like my songs how I like my women
[Am7]Honest and to the [G]point
[Em]You see I got fked up in Stockholm
But I'll be buried in Detroit
[Chorus 2]
Next to my [Em]father, and my [Am7]father's father [G]too
[Em]I used to live in New York City
But baby, [Am7]that ain't no [G]substitute
[Em]Not for my hometown
That [Am7]place people [G]avoid
[Em]I've made love in every city
But I'll be buried in Detroit
[Bridge 2]
Em Am7 G 4x
[Verse 3 - Big Sean]
[Em]Man, I always kept it righteous knowing it would come back to me
[Am7]Even when my hunger was outweighing[G] the strategy
[Em]And I'd pray to God like I hope you a map for me
[Am7]Up at 5 am like n[G]obody want it as bad as me
[Em]I guess hunger either kill you or it energize you
[Am7]Motor city, boy, [G]I been a driver
[Em]The young Detroit legend, I swear I got the city inspired
[Am7]And bought?.just to [G]solidify it
[Em]D-boy, D-boy, that's how I was raised
[Am7]Boss up and put the city on, [G]forever my ways
[Em]Me and ma started charity to give the kids clarity
[Am7]And take it further than the f[G]oundation we laid
[Em]Thanksgiving Day parade, I got carried through the city
[Am7]And after that, I hope I get m[G]arried in the city
[Em]And after that, I hope I get buried in the city
Even when I'm gone, you still gon hear me in the city
[Outro]
