Letter To Detroit Lyrics - Eminem

Detroit 

There is a resilience that rises from somewhere deep within your streets 

You can't define it, but you can feel it 

You can feel it overflowing from the people who call you home 

From people who are always proud to declare, 'I'm from Detroit' 

You took our country from it's infancy, into industry 

And your name still carries with it the idea of a nation built on steel, muscle and sweat 

You became the city that carried the country 

The city, like the sport, is built on dreams 

People who would drive to you, driven to excel 

Who know nothing is accomplished without hardwork, without sacrifice 

When you hurt, we hurt 

Your streets witness our struggle 

Your bricks are our rage through the emptiness of each house shuttered, of each factory closed 

We've lived through the ups and the downs 

But we remain, Detroit 

We can never turn our backs on you Detroit, because we are you 

My home 

The home of Motown, Cadillac and Joe Louis 

Through all this, we cannot be defeated, because we have never been defeated 

You've built us, you've moved us, you've shaped us 

Sometimes down, but never out 

Take strength in us, your people 

Stay up Detroit.
