[Verse 1] Detroit rock baby, that's a fact
And [?] get back Jack
Well you’ve gotta be tough but there's a good time to be had
I'd like to think everybody here knows that

So let’s talk about a place that you might not know
Just a little further on up the road
Well you know about [?], baby, let's get down to the bones
Tell you 'bout a place that really made America roll

[Chorus] Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it)
Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it)
Let 'em all know (Let 'em all know)
Let 'em all know (Let 'em all know)
Detroit rock but Flint City roll

[Verse 2] Now the truth is, we ain't what we used to be
Whole lotta trouble come to our streets
The only one to blame is GMC
If you don’t know, baby, let me tell you how I mean

We built Buick cars, GM trucks
Chevy engines, AC, sparkplugs
Built planes for the war back in ’41
Every piece straight from the ground on up

Then trouble come in '86
With this son of a bitch named Roger Smith
Cut our throat with a stroke of a fountain pen
[?] knocked down [?] get up again

[Chorus] Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it)
Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it)
Let ’em all know (Let 'em all know)
Let 'em all know (Let 'em all know)
Detroit rock but Flint City roll

[Verse 3] Well there ain’t no work and everybody's hurtin'
It's been that way for a while
They ain't got [?] Flint City knows how to have a good time

Well we might be poor and we might be rough
We're just good people down on our luck
And you know it seems nobody cares about us
We just [?] to give up

[Chorus] Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it)
Flint City shake it (Flint City shake it)
Let 'em all know (Let 'em all know)
Let 'em all know (Let 'em all know)
Detroit rock but Flint City roll
