Somewhere in the <\/p>\n

Projects. There’s a kid working <\/p>\n

On a project. To project
To the world. He lives
in a city that Grows<\/p>\n

boys and girls into Lions<\/p>\n

and tigers. A city that takes<\/p>\n

the fire and the ashes
builds    rebuilds
turns abandoned houses and
empty fields into things worth<\/p>\n

looking at. A place that never looks back
The center stage of<\/p>\n

a nation   the heartbeat
the patience   the music
The Motown   the midtown
the downtown
the always comes back<\/p>\n

around. Where we fight for our reputation
Walk   ride   bike to our<\/p>\n

destination. Practice patience
Knows that they can’t forget about<\/p>\n

us. Detroit
the city that continues to call<\/p>\n

the worlds bluff
somewhere there’s a kid working <\/p>\n

on a project. To project<\/p>\n

From a city that\u2019s<\/p>\n

the ashes together
so that everywhere there can be<\/p>\n
