Man, I’ve been around the world…Ha ha ha.
You know what I gotta do?
I just gotta look ‘em in the eye
And tell ‘em there’s just one place, and one time ya’ll
1999, we gonna take it right back to that time right now
You know what I’m talkin’ about?
You know what I’m talkin’ about?
Hmmmm
You know what I’m talkin’ about?
You don’t know what I’m talkin’ about?!
Now you know what I’m talkin’ about.
So, we used to hang out in the club & play some punk music.
Man, we used to break it up.
You remember way back in the day
We had nothing much to say
In the night that we used to play
In the club that we used to break
Detroit, ha, ha ha ha, back in Detroit
Oh Yeah
That punk music used to build man,
We used to be flippin’ it
Add a little rap, some soul
Prince used to drop in the club, it was so dope! Hah!
You know what I’m talkin’ about?
You don’t know what I’m talkin’ about?!
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
We were living a good life…back in Detroit
Ha ha ha, Hah! Hah!
We were living a good life…back in Detroit
Ha ha ha, Hah! Hah!
We ‘gone take you back, back in time
When music and rhyme used to combine
To make a sweet flow that everybody knows
But these words, everybody got heat
Everybody wanna shade, everybody wanna speak
Nobody wanna listen, everybody wanna bring some
But if you stop and take a minute
And you sit right in it
Then you see that where it’s at
Detroit bringing that beat back
We ain’t got no time to chill
We just come to party still
We just want you here inside
To recognize it’s Detroit time!
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
We were living a good life…back in Detroit
You feel that?
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
We were living a good life…back in Detroit
That’s it
Come on!
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
We were living a good life…back in Detroit
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
We were living a good life…back in Detroit
Sing it Girls!
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
We were living a good life…back in Detroit
One more time, come one, feel it ya’ll!
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
We were living a good life…back in Detroit
