Welcome 2 Detroit (12
Trick Trick Lyrics

Welcome to motherfuckin' Detroit God damn it
Introducing Detroit in a strong and assertive manner

Where's my gangstas and all my thugs
Asking for the presence of all the tough individuals of the city

Throw them hands up and show some love
Encouraging the audience to show enthusiasm and support

And I Welcome you to Detroit City
Making a formal welcome to the city

I said Welcome to Detroit City
Emphasizing the previously mentioned welcome

Every place, everywhere we go
Stating that they are omnipresent in the city

Man we deep everywhere we roll
Highlighting the large group of people moving with them

Ask around and they all know Tricky
Stating that the artist is famous and well-known in the city

Ask what's good man they all say Tricky
Reinforcing the previous line that the artist is highly regarded in the city

Click click boom, just as soon as we hit the room
Anticipating a grand entrance with a lot of noise

You can hear 'em holla Goon Sqwad in this bitch
Suggesting that their presence is immediately announced upon arrival

Let me hear you holla Goon Sqwad in this bitch
Encouraging the audience to chant their group name

Let me hear you holla Runyon Ave. in this bitch
Encouraging the audience to chant the name of their street

So who am I gonna call on when I ain't got them boys with me
Asking who they can rely on when they are alone

And the situation gets a little sticky
Referring to a possibly dangerous or volatile situation

I'ma dial 911 like a motherfuckin' punk, fuck that, bla bla
Rejecting the idea of calling emergency services when in need

I'mma call that rude boy from Detroit, Trick Trick
Opting to call the artist of the song for help instead of emergency services

Quick come pick me up, bring them guns
Asking for immediate help and also for weapons

Come to the club, meet me out front
Instructing the artist on where to meet up

There's some chump up in this bitch
Referring to a disliked person in the club

Poppin' some junk cause he's drunk
Describing the negative behavior of the disliked person

And we may have to fuck his ass up
Implying that violence may be necessary to handle this person

Cause uh, somethin' smells a lil' fishy
Stating that there is something suspicious or off about the situation

And I don't like the way his boys keep lookin' at me
Feeling uncomfortable because of the way other people are staring

So homie come get me, Wonder Boys what up doe I see you
Asking for the artist to come and help them while also greeting someone else

Rock Bottom, yeah I see you, all my Detroit people
Acknowledging and greeting other people from the city

Where you at man, let me see them hands in the sky
Asking people to raise their hands in the air

Detroit motherfuckers 'till we die
Expressing a strong sense of loyalty to the city

Homie it's been a long time comin' and I'm straight with that
Suggesting that they have been waiting for this moment for a long time

Marshall done called me to 54 and laced the track
Referring to Eminem by his real name and praising him for creating the music

This beat, you hear it bangin', he produced it himself
Reiterating how impressive it is that the artist created the music himself

My bad, almost forgot to introduce myself
Humorously apologizing for forgetting to introduce himself earlier

My name is Trick Trick, head of the Goon Sqwad
Introducing himself and his crew

And gangsta been bangin' the underground since '95, we're bangin'
Announcing that he and his crew have been present and relevant in the music industry since 1995

Elected to be the villain and certified a menace
Describing how they have been perceived as dangerous and villainous

Holdin' it down since I paroled up outta prison
Indicating that he has been maintaining his reputation since being released from prison

You heard about me, you just didn't know it was me
Stating that people may have heard about him but didn't know who he was

All the treacherous, evil deeds of the D you never see
Implying that there is a lot of unseen crime and violence in Detroit

Pickin' that kid up in the game, I just wasn't chasin' the fame
Explaining how he got into the music industry and that fame wasn't his main goal

I been chasin' the paper product and givin' lames the pain
Stating that he has been focused on making money while also hurting those who are not respectable

Accusations of violence you know you done heard of that
Referring to how he has been associated with violence in the past

Spent a quarter of a million dollars for beatin' a murder rap
Explaining that he spent a lot of money to avoid being charged with murder

Wonder Boy holdin' me up, Shady done put it out
Giving credit to people who have helped him in his career, such as Eminem

Trick Trick and Eminem, Detroit back in the house
Acknowledging Eminem and his connection to Detroit

Ayo Em, you ever need one of these weapons come get it
Offering help to Eminem in any situation where he may need weapons

From now on every beef that you get in, homie I'm in it
Promising to be supportive of Eminem in any conflict or dispute he may have

I been ridin' for this city, whether wrong or right
Expressing his loyalty to the city and implying that he has done so even when it may not be the best choice

I been whippin' on motherfuckers for the longest time
Describing how he has been fighting and beating up other people for a long time

So it's evident, it's time for Trick to get it fast
Suggesting that it is his time to shine and take advantage of his success

The public, see they appreciate my criminal past
Claiming that his criminal past has helped him gain popularity among the public

Authorities tried to stop me but they couldn't keep up
Stating that despite efforts to stop his behavior, he managed to remain in the music industry

Got a fan-base that's bigger then an average star
Boasting about the size of his fan base

I'm satisfied with it bein' my time to shine
Expressing that he is happy with his current success

And I freak from the precinct for violent crimes
Bringing attention to the fact that he has been arrested for violent crimes

I ain't sayin' the shit that I'm sayin' so girls can feel me
Clarifying that he is not saying these things to impress women

Only speakin' on what I know so the world can hear me
Expressing the desire to share his experiences and knowledge with others

So peace to Jimmy and Dre for signin' my nigga
Showing gratitude to Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre for signing Eminem

He reached back to Detroit and grabbed a winner
Implying that Eminem is a winner and a great success for Detroit

So the gangstas and thugs, we embrace with love
Expressing love and loyalty for the tough individuals of the city

And beat the hell outta anybody that fucks with us
Stating that they will defend themselves and others against anyone who tries to harm them

Yeah, Trick Trick
Repeating his name as an outro

Eminem, Wonder Boy, Shady
Listing the names of those who contributed to the song

It's goin' down baby
Indicating that something big and exciting is happening

Ayo Em, I got your back my nigga
Reiterating his support for Eminem

Damn right I said my nigga
Defending his use of the n-word to refer to Eminem
