Hmmm
|
Said I got the blues (2X)
|
Memphis City Blues
|
|
8Ball
|
Yeah, Light up the green, watch me light up the room
|
Watch me light up the mic, fat boy be the truth
|
Nigga live and learn, learn the streets or get burned
|
Niggas take what you earn, they be slick as a perm
|
Man I try to be slicker, try to be cunning and quicker
|
Try to be more than just another broke ass nigga
|
In this game of life, lose your life in the game
|
Take a life full of pain, make you remember my name
|
From the home of the blues, thought I paid my dues
|
ItĄŻs hard to fill my shoes, imitators abuse
|
I just love the music, like my heart or my brain
|
CouldnĄŻt live without it, thatĄŻs impossible man
|
IĄŻm unstoppable man, from the bottom I came
|
Niggas scratching for bread, stumbled up on the fame
|
Humble niggas with game, shut yo mouth up and listen
|
Recognize itĄŻs a blessing thankful just to be living
|
|
Chorus
|
I got the Memphis City Blues
|
Ooh, I could feel it now
|
The neighborhood pimps introduced us to pimping
|
And everybody we know
|
Used to play in them, street oh man, oh man, oh man
|
|
I got the Memphis City Blues
|
Ooh, I could feel it now
|
The neighborhood pimps introduced us to pimping (This is how they put it down)
|
And everybody we know
|
Used to play in them, street oh man, oh man, oh man
|
|
MJG
|
I had the Memphis City jones running through my bones
|
Way, way back with A+ beepers and gray phones
|
Even further back when I was just playing around the yard
|
Riding bikes and shit, falling and getting my legs scarred
|
In the music city, Memphis, Tenn they turned me into this
|
My dad and a couple of my friends they played instruments
|
And when we used to roll to school at 16
|
We bumped shit like Bobby Womack and Al Green
|
Hell, I knew most of the old school shit from front to end
|
I would start to memorize four fives at age 10
|
I come from a city where R & B run deep
|
And the blues was the music that paved the whole street
|
It was only natural that we would take the torch and run wit it
|
Be serious but still have a little fun wit it
|
MJG from a town that runs real deep
|
Ask B.B. King and Isaac Hayes on Beale Street
|
|
Chorus
|
|
8Ball
|
Yeah, On that pimping man, me and G was born and raised
|
Commodores, OĄŻJays, Frankie Beverly and Maze
|
Windows rolled down, no AC cause the gas low
|
Bread at a minimum but still we found a place to go
|
North to the South at my nigga house
|
Chiefing out
|
Skipping school learning what the Memphis City Blues bout
|
Me and G and a whole bunch of others
|
Had a rocky road to travel just to make the world love us
|
|
MJG
|
Cause itĄŻs The Memphis City really to call it itty bitty
|
Would be an understatement
|
We got big ass, cash, and titties
|
Big pimping working and hurt
|
The pockets of big tippers
|
Side dippers
|
And big jails to hide niggas
|
But we stayed out em
|
Hard times we prayed bout em
|
Nigga step up talking that shit and I laid out em
|
MJG reppin the Memphis Tennie
|
You and I could feel it
|
Pass me some of the Henny
|
