I Am Detroit (1999)

Length: 3:13


I am Detroit you are New York
I think it’s time that we talked, baby
This is Detroit calling New York
I think it’s time that we talked, baby

It takes two to tango
We’re partners in crime on the dance floor
Called America!

I am Detroit you are LA
We drew a line in the sand
This is Detroit calling LA
I got a gun in my hand

It takes two to tango
We’re partners in crime on the dance floor
Called America! Push!

I am Detroit you are Mars
I am Detroit you are Mars
You got red sand, I got cars
I am Detroit you are Mars

I’m sending my signal into outer space
Calling Mars
Calling Mars
I am America But almost Canada.


// A series of quotes by ex-Detroit mayor Coleman Young // “A lot of that I believe is just plain racism”
“Every previous mayor went round in limousines and I don’t remember any of them with their ass hanging out”
“White people find it extremely hard to live in an environment that they don’t control”
“That means more at the top for blacks. And there ain’t no shortage of blacks out there behind them garbage trucks.”
“It’s very common or it’s fairly common to have political figures who are not married. And they ain’t sissies. They’re messing round with some gal. They have (?) referred to as my girlfriend and s**t like that. I don’t think it’s a common, political practice.”
