Detroit vs. Everybody
Eminem Royce da 5'9" Big Sean Danny Brown DeJ Loaf and Trick-Trick Lyrics

Tell 'em if they want it, they can come get that (Statik)
If anyone wants to challenge us, they can come and face us

I swear I love my city, I just want a little (Statik)
I have a deep love for my city, I just want a small piece of success

See me, they salute me, they ain't ready for that (Statik)
People acknowledge and respect me, but they are not prepared for the greatness I bring

Detroit vs. Everybody
Detroit is ready to take on anyone and prove we are the best

I took a bite out the rotten apple by the poison tree
I made a risky move by associating with dangerous people and situations

All these females need to email to make noise
Many women seek attention and validation through social media

And I think its changin' a lot, he fuck with my authority
I believe the situation is improving, but someone is testing my power and control

Then he shall see shells
If he continues to provoke me, he will face the consequences

But not by the seashore if he gangbangin' or not
The violence and repercussions will not be a beachside vacation, whether he is involved in gang activities or not

It's simple as the alphabet
It's as straightforward and basic as the alphabet

He F with me, that G shall surely see
If he messes with me, he will definitely face the consequences

He definitely is 'bout it, it's retail fraud, he's weak
He may appear tough, but he is actually a fraud and weak

The honest gesture
This is a sincere and genuine action

The trigger finger 'round the diamond tester, we tail flaw with heat
I am ready to confront and expose any imperfections or weaknesses, using force if necessary

The same soldier, it's me, myself and I
I am a lone soldier, relying only on myself for support and protection

Ridin' 'round shootin' my biopic and my autobiography
I am constantly facing the challenges and dangers in my life, documenting my experiences through music

Range Rover, this ain't the squash beef state
Driving a luxurious Range Rover, this is not a peaceful state without conflicts

You thinkin' makeup, we thinkin' Lark Voorhies face
While you may be thinking about cosmetics, we're thinking about a face with scars and damage like Lark Voorhies

This twin Eagle's of Ares coupe, might as well ride by in an ambulance
Driving a powerful and dangerous vehicle, it's like riding in an ambulance, ready for the next emergency

My parachute like skydivin' in Hammer pants
My protection and safety measures are like skydiving in unconventional and bulky pants like Hammer pants

So call it siblin' rivalry
We can consider this conflict as sibling rivalry

Take his life, call it the unforgivable robbery
If necessary, I will take someone's life, and it will be an unforgivable act of robbery

A wise man told me that holdin' a grudge is like
An intelligent person once told me that holding onto resentment is similar to

Lettin' somebody just live inside of your head rent free
Allowing someone to occupy your thoughts and emotions without paying any rent

Real talk, I don't got time to evict these clowns
Honestly, I don't have the time or patience to remove these foolish and clownish people from my life

Y'all niggas been bitches, that's none of my business, but I don't sip tea
You guys have been weak and cowardly, but that's not my concern, as I don't engage in gossip or drama

(That's Nickel) Ride around his block
(That's me, Eminem) Driving around his neighborhood

All he knows is pitfalls, that's why he's always climbin' out his drop
He constantly finds himself in difficult and problematic situations, hence the need to escape from them

(I got a question) Do you wanna ride or die?
(I have a question) Are you willing to stay loyal and committed, even in the face of danger?

Welcome to Detroit, mothafucka
Welcome to the tough and unforgiving city of Detroit, motherfucker

Boy I need no halves and halves, I want the game in entirety
I don't settle for partial success, I want to conquer the entire game

100 Percent cut, no stitches required
I want to achieve success without any compromises or shortcuts

Welcome to Detroit where if you get that promotion
In Detroit, even if you achieve success or get promoted

Don't worry, man them bullets will still be at your ass firin'
Don't relax, because even with success, you can still be targeted and face danger

I still call it safe, I would suck if I was umpirin'
I still consider it a safe position, and I would be terrible as an umpire

Boy I hit the beat I just treat that shit like a diary
When I rap over a beat, I express myself as if I'm writing in a personal diary

I'm offended if you hear my new shit and you ain't rewindin' me
It hurts my ego if you listen to my new music and don't rewind or replay it

Self made, I never needed your bail or a wire, see
I have achieved success on my own without relying on any financial assistance or favors

I'm never callin' collect, I call to collect
I don't make desperate or pleading calls, I make calls to demand what I'm owed

My homie wanted a Chevy so I put my dog in the vet
My friend wanted a Chevrolet car, so I paid for my dog's medical expenses

Plus I'm so loyal that that paper, boy, is all that I fetch
I am extremely loyal, and all I focus on is making money

Got the ball in my hand and the ball in the net
I am in control and successfully achieving my goals

Bitch I'm the D, can't no offence dunk on me
I am the embodiment of Detroit, and no one can overpower or humiliate me

I'm Mr. Big Shot, these hoes get drunk off me
I am confident and successful, making women intoxicated with desire for me

I'm overrespected, my mama gated community's overprotected
I am highly respected, and my mother's exclusive neighborhood also provides me with extra security

So futuristic, I'm already over my next bitch
I am so ahead of my time and forward-thinking that I have already moved on from my current partner

Reminiscin' on listenin' to 50 fifty times a day
Reflecting on a time when I used to listen to 50 Cent's music repeatedly throughout the day

Back when tenth grade was like fifty days away
In my younger days, tenth grade seemed so far away, like an eternity

Tryna get paid fifty ways a day
Striving to earn money in numerous ways each day

Used to put fifty on the layaway, now my closet fifty shades of grey
In the past, I couldn't afford to pay for items upfront, now my wardrobe consists of numerous shades of grey

Twenty six and I done lived a lifetime a few times
Even though I'm only twenty-six, I have already experienced a lifetime's worth of events and challenges

From futons to Grey Poupons
From humble beginnings, I have gone from basic and cheap furniture to luxury and extravagant items like Grey Poupon mustard

In church tryna get a little savings, yeah coupons
In the past, I was trying to save money even in church, using coupons to reduce expenses

I spit that A1 every day, I'm hittin' new primes
I consistently deliver high-quality rap verses every day, reaching new levels of excellence

Now the stakes high, niggas surprised at the new lines
The expectations and risks are greater now, and people are astonished by my innovative and impressive lyrics

Or takin' down my number like "you still ain't got a new line?"
People are constantly asking if I have come up with something fresh and creative

Nah it's the same, we've been laborin' for years
No, it's still the same level of hard work and dedication, we've been striving for success for a long time

I know it took way longer than 9 months, but fuck it, it's all in due time
I understand that it has taken longer than the typical nine months for success to come, but I believe it will happen at the right moment

I turned a blunt to a roach with dreams of bein' a Beatle though
I started with very little, like a small portion of a joint, but I had dreams of achieving the same level of fame and success as The Beatles

Don't want to, I need to, gotta learn to keep it cerebral
I don't just want to be successful, I feel a strong need to be intellectually and mentally sharp in achieving my goals

When you come up in a place where everyone got a piece but ain't peaceful
Growing up in a community where everyone has their share but there is still a lack of peace and harmony

This is just part 1, wait 'til the sequel
This song is only the first part, there is more greatness to come in the future

Comin' from them streets where they thirsty, starvin' to eat
Coming from the tough streets where people are desperate and hungry for success

Just a step away from felon, that's why they call it the D
Very close to becoming a criminal, which is why Detroit is also known as the D

On your bleeder, ho, reason for all of this honesty
I am exposing your weaknesses and vulnerabilities, which is the reason for my honesty

Honestly no honor roll, but honor the Phantom stripper pole
Despite not being recognized for academic achievements, I appreciate the extravagant and luxurious lifestyle symbolized by the Phantom car and stripper pole

'Cause I'm a Linwood nigga, them young niggas say
Because I am from the Linwood area in Detroit, young individuals associate me with

Put a sack on your head, you bleed out like the reverend
If someone puts a sack on your head, you will suffer and bleed profusely like a religious figure

And to think our hood harder then I might break the door
Considering the difficulties and dangers in our neighborhood, I might feel overwhelmed and want to escape from it

Know some killers pull the trigger for a Swisher and Molly
I know individuals who are willing to commit murder for a cheap cigar and MDMA

In a blink I'll hit your kisser, bet you ass ain't rememberin'
I can quickly and powerfully strike you in the face, and you will not be able to recall what happened

They say my city's tougher than two fat bitches scissoring
People claim that my city, Detroit, is tougher than a physical confrontation between two obese women

So nigga I'm a veteran, retire my letterman
I am an experienced individual, ready to retire from my high school letterman jacket

I kings bout that scuba but I ain't get to no betterin'
I excel in the streets as if I am a king underwater, but I haven't improved my situation overall

Cough up a line, 313 where I'm from
Deliver your rap verse representing the 313 area code of Detroit, where I am from

Zan got me cross eyed like Bernstein’s son
The drug Zan (Xanax) has affected my vision, making me appear cross-eyed like Leonard Bernstein's son

And these niggas try to copy but I hold on this time
Others attempt to imitate me, but this time I am holding onto my authenticity and uniqueness

It's us vs them, Detroit vs Everybody yeah
It's a battle between us, representing Detroit, and everyone else, Detroit versus everybody

Lately it seems as if it's me against the world
Recently, it feels like I am constantly facing challenges and obstacles from everyone around me

Like it was before my life became a movie
Like in the past, when my life wasn't the subject of public attention like in a movie

And they used to use my mothafuckin' trailer to tease me with
In the past, people would mock or taunt me by using my trailer home against me

But I flipped that script like AB filler
But I changed the story and narrative, just like in a movie where the script is altered or rewritten

Painkillers to pop that lid off that safety seal
Using painkillers to cope with the emotional pain and to break free from the constraints of my troubled past

It made me feel amazing, made me celebrate me
These painkillers made me feel incredible and encouraged me to value and appreciate myself

And if I may reiterate, I ain't even need a script
And I want to emphasize, I don't even need a script or predetermined plan to succeed

I ain't bein' conceited, but I made it to radio, eat a dick
I'm not being arrogant, but I have achieved success and even made it onto the radio. Disregard any negative opinions

I still never ABC the shit
I have never followed the traditional path or conformist practices

Mainstream appeal and the skill is what made me iller
The combination of being popular and having exceptional talent is what sets me apart and makes me even more impressive

Since before they called Jay Dee Dilla
I was on this path even before J Dilla, the influential producer, gained recognition

I was daydreamin' one day I would be the shit
I used to daydream about becoming someone successful and highly regarded

And if I ever end up escapin' the streets I swear that I would stay here
If I manage to escape the hardships of the streets, I promise I will always remain loyal to my roots and never forget where I came from

Still in it, I'm crazy, I'll always be real
I'm still actively involved in the rap game, and I'm unpredictable, always staying true to myself

Don't make me steal an 18 wheeler
Don't push me to commit a major crime, like stealing a large truck

Break all of my friends out of here and take 'em straight to the Mercedes dealer
I would free all of my friends from their struggles and hardships and treat them to luxury by taking them to buy expensive cars at a Mercedes dealership

Peel off back to the same block that we came from, rampage
Then we would return to the same neighborhood we started from, causing chaos and destruction

You crazy for me to flip
You would be foolish to provoke me into losing control

What's makin' you think I need a switch? 'Cause I'm Adrian Peterson
What makes you think I need to change my approach or style? I am like Adrian Peterson, the football player known for his powerful running and success

When he's raging and heated and on the way to go beat his kid
Just as Adrian Peterson is known for his intense anger and physical discipline towards his child, I can also unleash my rage and violence

On the track I spank like he just did
In my rap performances, I deliver powerful and impactful verses, similar to how Adrian Peterson physically disciplines his child

(Detroit!) I can't never leave this bitch
(Detroit!) I can never abandon this city

Sick of bein' treated like me and shit, but Jesus
Tired of being treated poorly and unfairly like I am worthless, but ironically

I can just see why people stop callin' me to do features
I understand why people no longer invite me to collaborate on songs

And them cyphers on BET 'cause if
Or participate in rap cyphers on BET, because if

I wasn't me I probably wouldn't want to play with me neither, shit
If I were not myself, I probably wouldn't want to associate or work with me either, damn

Seems to be reachin' this fever pitch, 180 Degrees in here
The situation seems to be escalating to an intense level, a complete turnaround from the initial state

Trying to wait for the cedar chips
Trying to wait for the situation to calm down, similar to waiting for the scent of cedar chips to fade

Mcs just bit off more than they can chew like a face full of Swedish Fish
Other rappers have underestimated the challenge they are facing, just like trying to fit too many Swedish Fish candies in their mouth

Or Lorena with two penises
Or like Lorena Bobbitt, who famously cut off her husband's penis, but in this case, it's as if someone is overwhelmed by two penises

Hateful and genius, this inconvenience
I am both spiteful and highly skilled, causing others discomfort and inconvenience

And for the record, you won't want this kind of static
Just to clarify, you will not want to encounter or engage with this level of conflict and friction

In your life, when I'm makin' you cling to it
When I bring chaos and turmoil into your life, making you desperately hold onto any sense of stability or security

They consider tryna reinsulate yah
They attempt to protect or insulate themselves from the harm I can cause

When it's maybe in for another crazy winter
They try to shield themselves from me when there's potentially another chaotic and troublesome period ahead

It's so cold in the D, it is as days begin to tick away
The situation and atmosphere in Detroit are so harsh and unforgiving, as the days pass by

But ain't this what really made me into the angry bitter blonde
But isn't this harsh and challenging environment what shaped me into the angry and resentful person I am today?

But ain't we sick of bein' underdog
But aren't we tired of constantly being underestimated and placed at a disadvantage?

Don't make me unleash this shit, release this Pit may even seem as if
Don't provoke me to release my anger and aggression, the outburst might even appear like

I'm yankin' your chain a bit or maybe the way in which I'm sayin' shit
I am sarcastically or provocatively mocking you, or it could be the way I deliver my message

Is playin' with your relation, changin' it it's still the same shit and Shady's still a lady killer
It's intended to challenge and affect your perception, but it's still the same problematic and controversial content, and Eminem is still a master of manipulating his audience

Since the day I went insane and attacked the baby sitter
Since the moment I lost control and became mentally unstable, leading to an altercation with my child's babysitter

With a potato peeler and mushed her face into the entertainment center
Using a potato peeler, I physically assaulted her and forcefully pushed her face into the entertainment center

It's like another plane just entered into Ukraine again
It feels as if another conflict or disaster has occurred, similar to when a plane entered Ukrainian airspace

The Bermuda Triangle and attempted to make a safety center
Metaphorically referring to a chaotic and uncontrollable situation, like the Bermuda Triangle, and trying to establish a safe haven within it

Awaiting anyone who ain't affiliated could be danger
Waiting for anyone who is not connected or associated with our group, as they may face danger

Did you make arrangements with the gangsters 'fore you came here?
Did you establish any agreements or deals with the gangsters before you arrived in this place?

And if they mention us
And if they talk about us

What up doe
Greetings

It's the godfather Trick Trick
I am Trick Trick, the respected and influential figure

You either ridin' with us
You are either supporting and joining our side

Or gettin' rolled on
Or you will be overwhelmed or defeated

That means Detroit vs. Everybody!
That signifies the battle between Detroit and everyone else!

Hey Em
Hey Eminem

Let me get that instrumental take it down to the hood
Allow me to obtain the instrumental version of the song and bring it to the neighborhood

Let the little homies get this remix crackin'
Let the young individuals in the community create their own version of the song and make it exciting

Detroit!
Referring to the city of Detroit

Okay
