Lyrics and translation
Original
Welcome to motherfucking Detroit, goddammit, Wonder Boy. Shit.
Yeah, yeah.
Tricky!
Let's show 'em some love. Welcome to Detroit.
Where's my gangstas and all my thugs? Throw them hands up and show some love. And, uh, welcome to Detroit city.
I said welcome to Detroit city. Every place, everywhere we go.
Man, we deep everywhere we roll. Ask around and they all know Tricky.
Ask what's good and they all say, "Tricky. " Click, click, boom. It's as soon as we hit the room.
You can hear 'em holler, "Goon Squad in this bitch!
" Let me hear you holler, "Goon Squad in this bitch! " Let me hear you holler, "Run your Ave in this bitch!
" So who am I gonna call on when I ain't got them boys with me, and the situation gets a little sticky?
I'ma dial nine-one-one like a motherfucking punk. Fuck that, blood clot.
I'ma call that rude boy from Detroit, Trick Trick. Quick, come pick me up.
Bring them guns. Come to the club, meet me out front.
There's some chump up in this bitch popping some junk 'cause he's drunk, and we may have to fuck his ass up 'cause, uh, something smells a little fishy, and I don't like the way his boys keep looking at me. So, homie, come get me. Wonder Boys, what up though? I see you, Rock
Bottom, yeah, I see you. All my Detroit people, where you at, man?
Let me see them hands in the sky. Detroit motherfuckers 'til we die.
Where's my gangstas and all my thugs? Throw them hands up and show some love.
And, uh, welcome to Detroit city. I said welcome to Detroit city. Every place, everywhere we go.
Man, we deep everywhere we roll. Ask around and they all know Tricky.
Ask what's good and -they all say, "Tricky. " -Homie, it's been a long time coming, and
I'm straight with that.
Marshall done called me to fifty-four and said, "Lace the track. " This the beat that you hearing banging, he produced it himself.
My bad, almost forgot to introduce myself.
My name is Trick Trick, head of the Goon Squad and gangsta. Been banging the underground since '95 with Bank.
Elected to be the villain and certified a menace. Holding it down since I paroled up out of prison.
You heard about me, but you didn't know it was me.
All the treacherous evil deeds of the E, yeah, that was me.
Been connected up in the game, I just wasn't chasing the fame. I been chasing the paper product and giving lames the pain.
Accusations of violence, I know you done heard of that.
Took a quarter of a million dollars for beating a murder rap. Wonder Boy holding me up, Shady done put it out.
Trick Trick -and Eminem, Detroit back in the house. -Where's my gangstas and all my thugs?
Throw them hands up and show some love. And, uh, welcome to Detroit city.
I said welcome to Detroit city. Every place, everywhere we go.
Man, we deep everywhere we roll. Ask around and they all know Tricky.
Ask what's good and they all say, -"Tricky.
" -Ayo, Em, you ever need one of these weapons, come get it. From now on, every beat that you get in, homie, I'm in it.
I've been riding for the city left or wrong or right.
I've been whooping on motherfuckers for a long time, so it's evident.
It's time for Trick to get it fast. The public see, they appreciate my criminal past.
Authorities tried to stop me, but they couldn't get far. Got a fan base that's bigger than the average star.
I'm satisfied with it being my time to shine, and I frequent the precinct for violent crime. I ain't saying the shit that I'm saying so girls can feel me.
I'm just speaking on what I know so that the world can hear me. So peace to Jimmy and
Dre, Poseidon, my nigga. We reach back to Detroit and grab the winner.
So the gangstas and thugs, we embrace with love.
And beat the hell out of anybody that fuck -with us. -Where's my gangstas and all my thugs?
Throw them hands up and show some love. And, uh, welcome to Detroit city.
I said welcome to Detroit city. Every place, everywhere we go.
Man, we deep everywhere we roll. Ask around and they all know Tricky.
Ask what's good and they all say, "Tricky. "
Yeah,
Trick Trick.
Eminem.
Wonder Boy.
Shady.
It's going down, baby.
Ayo, Em,
I got your back, my nigga.
You're damn right I said my nigga.
That's my nigga.
Tricky!
-Bad, bad niggas.
-When I pull this motherfucker out right here, motherfuckers don't wanna talk no more.
Niggas come out with them nines and shit.
When I come back this motherfucker and crack this bitch one more time, niggas don't wanna talk no more, do they?
Hell no, and every time, please believe it, the motherfucker setting right there.
Welcome to Detroit.
Come back soon. Sorry we missed you.
Trick Trick!
