Nowhere 2 Go - Intellectual

[Intro]

Let's go!

It's Detroit, stand up!

[Verse 1]

I'm in the truck, sitting high like proper etiquette

Iller than I ever been, blowing on that medicine

Used to have dreams of copping cribs on Edison...

(Gyeah!)

Now I'm doing shit thought I never could afford

Art on the wall like science project boards

Parquet floor, green like Celtic

Furniture you touch be like, "What's this? Velvet?"

Used to play the block with the sack by the pelvis

Fiends O.D.'ing on they toilet like Elvis (Ill!)

[Verse 2]

So now I kill beats

So much coroners pick up notepad sheets

Bullhead skinnies, Hilfiger fleece

Sort of like a futuristic 1993

A lot my niggas dead, a lot my niggas locked

A lot my niggas left and moved on from the block

Some of my niggas here and some got guap

And some ain't gotta piss while on a mothafuckin' pot

We used to play the block, we never get old

The fridge ain't got shit but the bread with the mold

And some ain't had shoes, just the ones with the holes

The one they call talkers with the fuckin' plastic soles

So now we change the system to shit we can't afford and

Check from Mickey D's can't buy a pair of Jordans (Nah)

And hot boys gotta get it how they live

[Hook]

Close your eyes, I'm 'bout to take you to a city

It ain't pretty, it ain't nowhere to go (It ain't nowhere to go)

Run and hide when you're on the other side

It ain't easy, it ain't nowhere to go (It ain't nowhere to go)

Land of misery, a place filled with history

But seriously, it's nowhere to go (It's nowhere to go)

[Verse 3]

I seen my nigga Lucky 'fore he went up for life (Wutup Luck!)

He said, "Brown, you nice, and niggas sin, you sacrifice

Chill on the streets, it ain't here for ya

'Cause when you get locked, nobody care for ya" (Nobody!)

Did a little time, ain't make a phone call (Naw!)

Book stay thick like a church-going broad

Locked in the county, ain't never seen the Duro (Naw)

Now I hit the thrift stores, cop a vintage Polo

Never talk loud to get my point across (Naw)

The only alligator that I rock is Lacoste

Detroit player, word to my nigga Big

Play this type of shit while you rockin' up a big

'Cause I blow two blunts before I brush my teeth

Ain't seen what they looking like, but I'm smoking good

Eating better, so I stay full
