[Hook: Invincible]

Summer in the city wonder how we made it through the winter

So hot and humid but the music gets me through and feeling good

Look forward to this way of life we represent the future

You only see the bad-ass shit that's real but we still feeling good

[Verse 1]

I woke up to buildings in flames am I still in my dream?

Rub my eyes see my reflection off the windows it's the lovely sunrise

The brightest fuchsia rays here to light the future days

On my way to the Isle playing Nina on the radio dial

I stay for a while I daydream

I blaze sensimilia about to meet with Shea at the marina

Around the corner from the Roostertail thinking bout the schools and jails

Put our youth for sale that's why we fighting tooth and nail

We refuse to fail til justice and truth prevail

Setting sail elders tell us about the rumrunners thinking of booze and ale

Underground Railroad -- last stop Detroit River

Escaping to freedom had to swim across the winter

Can you feel the ancestors in these currents?

To swim upstream it takes vision and endurance

Look at the horizon sun reflecting off the water's surface

Detroit is better made dog so I'm sipping on some Vernors

[Verse 2]

Detroit in the summer it's more than a season

When I moved to the city was the core of the reason

Can I clarify all the distortion you seeing?

Gotta break your mind out of prison while the warden is sleeping

Politicians make a fortune by thieving

The air quality since the Model T could shorten your breathing

Follow me to a city where empty lots turn to garden plots

Got alternatives in place so we could disregard the cops

It's still a seedling but the future the D brings

Getting to the root while you still cutting off the tree limbs

Strengthening the weak links brownfields from rotten tires

Sunflowers reaching high to detoxify the D

D -- everybody rocks a fitted but don't watch the Tigers

A block party tonight in spots where the shots are fired

It's hot cool it up by opening the hydrants

Call Motown a ghost town but the city's vibrant

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Detroit's alive and well don't need no more requiems

Elected officials they greed has infected em

Sell the residents out then they leave and neglected em

Guess they couldn't see that now the D is the next to win

Not as in some self-appointed demagogues developing these

Overpriced and empty dark casinos where old ladies play the penny slots

Trying to pay they rental costs

Living on a shoestring or some dental floss

Here's the real renaissance

Go from post-industrial to the most illustrious

Anyone who wants a change you better know it's up to us

Start working together no more crabs in a barrel

When did freedom ever come about from asking a Pharaoh?

That's rhetorical; why wait for opportunity to knock when

You could build a door or two

Self-reliance out of crisis that's what we transforming through

We the oracle

Like summertime Detroit is what the world has to look forward to
