Mike Posner - Buried In Detroit lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

I’m a writer and a luva

I’m a Midwest music man

And I’ve been to a lot of places

But I’m gon’ end where I began

I took class in Carolina

Got high smokin' joints

And now they know my name in Paris

(Chorus)

But I’ll be buried in Detroit

Next to my father, and my father’s father too

I used to live in New York City

But baby that ain’t no substitute

Not for my hometown

That place people avoid

I’ve made luv in every city

But I’ll be buried in Detroit

(Verse 2)

I don’t claim to be a prophet

I just speak my mind

I try to tell it like it is

And sometimes God makes it rhyme

I like my songs how I like my women

Honest and to the point

U see, I got fucked up in Stockholm

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)

U know I ain’t gon’ live foreva

Baby it won’t be long at the wake they’ll say

'He made a lot of mistakes but he could write hell of a song'

And I made, I made killin', tho' I neva really was employed

I had a girl from San Diego

(Chorus)
