Detroit Assembly Defined

Welcome to the Motown Motor City, asphalt carpet ghetto grind Automated fated urban living, everyday inner-city surviving Hard mean streets handing out no pity, sharpens perceptive razor minds Last stop underground freedom giving, all-day Exodus gospel arriving Factory-built hearts living manufactured dreams Black Bottom be a lowly place to start, Paradise Valley is a forgotten vision now a-rising Assembly line tough, steel mental parts Perseverance is Detroit revival defined, no assembly required Citizens report any municipal malfeasance Just another urban spiritual capital gain, congregation assembly required Motown cars moving on a heavenly transport train But you must be counted in attendance thereof, to know the love song we were singing God helped us to overcome every paved obstacle
