[Intro]
Rock City
Royce 5'9", Slim Shady
Come on

[Verse 1]
Can't stop the hustle, Royce Nickel Nine
Glock stops the tussle, nine shots'll bust you
Pine box'll stuff you, fuck you
I am not the tussle, niggas don't know me skirt
I'm Detroit's king nigga skirt
Rock City's where nigga's pimp hoes and ball
Strip hoes in bars, steal clothes from malls
Arms and your city's got the
Arms and your city's got the
Arms and your city's got the
Titties saggin' lookin' like they got forearms
Gold bottles, green bottles, Cris' to the don
Niggas get popped for sellin' weed, shaked with seeds
If you hate me you hate the D, please
I'm takin' shit back, to the riots in the sixties
Think I'm lyin'
Visit me
Where you live

[Refrain with Eminem]
Rock city.. rock on
Come on and rock with me
Rock city, come on and rock with me
Rock, city, come on
Rock, on, city
Come on

[Verse 2]
Suburban and city niggas hustle together
Long as it's money involved, niggas'll tussle together
Long as the hustle's a hustle, the green is green
White is white, nigga we buyin' if the price is right
So, drop the mics
Everything's on cock, from the shots to the dice
We are not into hype
You can't say we can't work
Either we some plant workers or we some niggas that plant work
What, Detroit bitches is bout it
You can just ask any one of your niggas that visit about it
Any Seven Mile bitch know how to get rich
She'll fuck you till you sleep plus lie to your bitch
Plus she'll suck and swallow up outta your dick
And she'll keep a sugar daddy that'll buy her some shit, come on

[Refrain]

The city with the bars, where the goons with the cars
To produce, here we are

[Verse 3]
New casinos, car shuffles, numbers to bet
Disrespect and get a new smile under your neck
A city full of thug-ass niggas, and punk-rockers
A lot of niggas act like Pac so cops watch 'em
And shot blocks up in the black or the light Timbs
White boys look, act, and rap like Slim
Fight Music, knife users never respect it
Guns talk, high schools with metal detectors
A city full of Tommy Hearns thumpers
Grant Hill hoopers, Barry Sanders runners, stunners
Chaldeans with weed-connects like whoa
Type of weed, no need to test like 'dro
Type of cats who got dough, they like so
You real, then you might go where

[Refrain]

[Royce talking]
Detroit Rock City, Slim Shady
Won't you come on the block with us, Royce da 5'9"
Won't you just come and rock with us, Royce da 5'9"
Next Level, Rock City, Royce da 5'9"
Rock, Slim Shady, Rock City
Uh uh, won't you come and rock with us, Rock City
Won't you come on the block with us, rock with me
Won't you come and rock with us, rock with
Rock City, touch it, fuck

About Rock City

This song is literally more than meets the eye. Rather than a real verse from Eminem, he uses a past recording of him as a hook (written by Paul Rosenberg) which proves to be very effective. This helped propel Rock City as a hot UG album next to Boom.

The song describes the hustle and scuttle of Detroit (Rock City) and was recorded almost right after the fallout with Eminem (reason for using recording and not real feature)

Royce would do the same with future song “Writer’s Block”, where Em only makes the hook once more
