I met a man name Stone Cold
He lives on the outer rim of Detroit
He told me the city is more dangerous
Than ever
That the house that he cared
For his dying mother
Is falling apart
And the walls are caving in
He is doing his best
But he feels it means nothing
He aspires to rap and make a living
He has dreams
We have dreams
We dream together
Of something better
Where the walls don’t fall in
While you watch your own mother die
In the rim of Detroit
People have dreams
But life slips away
While taking care of loved ones
In this country
In our backyard
We took a picture together
I wished him the best
I wish I could do more
I wish I could do more
Lord watch over Stone Cold
