*LYRICS*
When me change the channel with the pliers
Wet clothes on the porch, we ain't have a dryer
Spending food stamps wait 'til ya leave the store
Too many in the bed, had to sleep on the floor
'Cause my cousin always be getting whipped in the morning
Every night can't sleep, got me tossing and turning
Late night in the kitchen, hear 'em always fussin'
Got my ass beat, I ain't even do nothing
Seen her crying in the kitchen and I don't know why
Caught my aunt smoking crack and she got a black eye
Living on Focus: HOPE and we tryna get by
Sippin' on WIC juice, wash it down with chili fries
Homie shot at the coney hope he survive
Only go to church when someone die
Kids raisin' kids, all tryna be grown
Things never fix when we come from broken homes
We was young, black and poor being raised in Detroit
(Raised in Detroit)
You can never learn what a nigga been taught
Said, we was young, black and poor being raised in Detroit(yeah)
(Young, black and poor)
You can never learn what a nigga been taught
Said, we was young, black and poor being raised in Detroit
(Raised in Detroit)
You can never learn what a nigga been taught
Said, we was young, black and poor being raised in Detroit(yeah)
(Young, black and poor)
You can never learn what a nigga been taught
Detroit city, that's where I live
Feels like Poetic Justice, you get killed at the drive-in
Who gon' front you some work? Who gon' front you some work?
We was fresh from the dirt, put you on a T-shirt
Wanna run like Barry, shoot like Zeke
But in the hood with a nine on me like Rodney Peete
Motor City, the Motown, the Fab Five
Police violence, that's how Malice Green died
Coleman Young, Dennis Archer, Kilpatrick
Pissy mattress in the alley doing backflips
Uh, these hoes ratchet, daddy's absent
But, the kids see us doing wrong
Ay, they wanna be us when they grown
But ask them why be out like Butch Jones
My city show no love
It's hard to fit in the murder mitten like OJ glove
We was young, black and poor being raised in Detroit (yeah)
You can never learn what a nigga been taught
Said, we was young, black and poor being raised in Detroit
(Raised in Detroit)
You can never learn what a nigga been taught (yeah)
Said, we was young, black and poor being raised in Detroit
(We was young, black and poor)
You can never learn what a nigga been taught
Said, we was young, black and poor being raised in Detroit
You can never learn what a nigga been taught (yeah)
Stuck in the middle between Blade and Dilla
Surrounded by killers, couldn't see the big picture
From a bird's eye view, we ain't had no clue
Didn't know what was true, had nothing to lose (yeah)
"Home where the heart is"? But where is the love?
Feeling lost in the world, they don't care about us
Back to the war, we ain't had no plan
Everything about the city made me who I am
You can make it here, yeah, yeah, you know the rest
Every day was like a test, if you fail, it's death
Or a trip to Wayne county, hope you don't get sent to Jackson
Middleman taxing, to the story just a fraction
How the system made division but it don't add up?
Take away from the hood, never giving back to us
How the system made division but it don't add up?
Take away from the hood, never giving back to us
Young, black and poor
You can never learn
See we was young, black and poor
You can never learn what a nigga been taught
Said, we was young, black and poor being raised in Detroit
You can never learn what a nigga been taught
Said, we was young, black and poor being raised in Detroit
You can never learn what a nigga been taught

[nnommrr]

Danny’s artistry is growing as time passes

[drae]

Man you guys have two of the most unique voices in hip hop right now, it's so nice hearing you on a track together. Loved the video as well!

[Tlow_]

The happy-get-go beat with Wolf's sarcastic delivery and Danny's monotone and almost nihilistic flow while talking about the hardships of Detroit is just one of the most creative combinations I've heard in a hip-hop song. truly one iof Danny's best.

[owendispensa]

I love how much Danny’s changed as he’s gotten older. I’ve really been listening to this dude for 10 years

[kazzythegypsy_.]

"stuck in the middle between blade and dilla" doggie talkin that talk fr

[edwardmatthews]

I'm a 90s hiphop fan, and this still keeps that legacy.

[jonlob-]

This age of Danny's carreer has such a cool astethic to it, the videos have become so well and atmospheric and most of all refined.

[timboslice]

"Only go to church when someone die" ... So roll that 🎲 . 😅

[Prod.KiteWave]

The fact that Danny's this dedicated to his visual craft this deep into his career is admirable. Most rappers his age just give up

[jackbentele]

Bruiser Wolf has such a great flow on this

[thegingerbradman]

"It's hard to fit in the murder mitten like OJ glove"

[naterichardson]

My girl is going to yell at me today because this track is going to be on repeat all day and all week. Thanks, danny

[Sea_witch_]

I missed this era of highly creative music videos man, this is amazing.

[razzenvythebest]

Bruiser Wolf really a Suga Free E-40

AspartamE 40😭🤧

[your_kind_room_guardian]

Hot take : Quaranta > Atrocity Exhibition

I love the dark and grimy feel of this album so much, even though Atrocity Exhibition is objectively better

[christeebs]

Well done to the whole team, this is a fantastic music video

[AmunSun]

The voices, the flows, the cadence, and the pen game. All come together so nice.

[mider-spanman]

One of his deepest and most fun sounding songs. The flow is so clean and consistent!

[QuantumKatmusic]

Music like this is important, it's not just dope af but it's real and brings attention to a very real life for so many, and so many don't make it out. Amazing music video and amazing song

[damando]

Arguably his best music video. This is incredible
