[Verse 1]
[Em]Here[Am] I am, Miss [C]Badu, not Big Sean
[Em]But I don't fuck[B] with you
[Em]It's 'cause I'm from the [Am]D,
the other D
But [C]Detroit has a special place
[Em]in my heart
[C]Creative, deep, rooted, [B]organic, cosmic,
[Am]fantastic, [Em]futuristic, ancient, musical
[Dm]When I think of Detr[Em]oit,
I think of these [C]things
There something in that dirty [B]wa
ter that [C]gives [Em]it its flavor
[Dm]There's an invisible[C] intelligence that runs though the
[Em]streets [B]like an underground [Em]rooting system
[C]Millions and billions of memory of [Em]atoms of all of the beautiful
music [Dm]that has been created [Em]there[C]
And I've seen it [B]evolve into things [Am]only felt in the heart,
[B]I know this to be true
[Em]Thank you [C]Berry Gordy,
[Em]for that little [B]house
Thank you Stevie Won[Em]der for always calling me
and re[Dm]minding me [C]that it is there, that [Am]thing
I always [B]long to reconnect with it when I lose
my way music[Em]ally[Dm]
[F]Thank you J [C]Dilla for your peculiar,
[B]peculiar intelligen[Em]ce[Dm]
[Am]Yeah, Detroit [C]just has a magic,
and I know it to be true
Not Big [Bb]Sean,
[Dm]but I don't fuck with you
Live from Badubotron, Nubian
phenomen[E]on
Detroit, [G#m]where the Nubians grow
