It's So Cold in the D


I don’t condone cursing but the truth is, it is so cold in the D so how can anyone keep peace there. Its so cold in the D not just in terms of the weather but in terms of its education system, economy and public safety. Nothing in Detroit right now is right but all of that can change if we work to improve it. Detroit needs our help and those of us who love Detroit need to get up to improve the conditions of Detroit so it is no long cold in the D. We can warm the D but we must be willing to do it together as one. We must be willing to make the necessary sacrifices to improve Detroit once and for all so future Generations can raise their families in one of America’s greatest cities. Detroit is that beckon of hope that we all can believe that our dreams can come true but we all must work to make those dreams a reality by improving Detroit each and every day—socially, spiritually, culturally and economically.

Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) By Marvin Gaye



Dah, dah, dah, dah
dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah

Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
Fore we see it you take it

Oh, make you wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't livin', This ain't livin'
No, no baby, this ain't livin'
No, no, no

Inflation no chance
To increase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Send that boy off to die

Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life

Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah

Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs
Natural fact is
I can't pay my taxes

Oh, make me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Yea, it makes me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands

Crime is increasingTrigger happy policing
Panic is spreading
God knows where we're heading
Oh, make me wanna holler
They don't understand

Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah

Mother, motherEverybody thinks we're wrong
Who are they to judge us
Simply cause we wear our hair long

Don't Look Back Detroit, Keep on Pushing



Detroit as the Temptations hae said, we have to keep on pushing and not look back. We have to leave all our troubles behind us and look forward to a brighter future for not only the citizens of Detroit but the city of Detroit. We have to keep on walking Detroit and keep on pushing forward as we leave our past behind. Stall Tall Detroit and look for a future of Greatness as we as Detroiters strive and survive together.
