I'm from the land of the lakes
Where there's 3 real to every 10 fakes
Make no mistakes
Those diamonds in the rough
They’re worth the work even though it's tough
Believe I played it like Pokémon silver and gold
I found every real one before I left home
I'm from that murder mitten
Just listen
I'd do it again if it was ever my decision
The place legends have fallen and risen
Like Detroit city's motor division
Where we rep tigers and lions
I'm not lying
Even though they never win, we strive on tryin
If we don't succeed we don't quit
We do it again and again til we eventually win
I may be in Ohio but my heart’s up under the bridge
Where my true homies work, fight and live
It's ok, I can forgive
But no matter where I am or what I become
Coldwater, Michigan is where I'm from
And it's where I'll return when this world strikes me down
Up there in the cemetery in good ol C-town
I left on a seemingly permanent vacation
But my soul is still in Michigan and still on probation
