Hmmm
Said I got the blues
Memphis City Blues



Yeah, Light up the green, watch me light up the room

Watch me light up the mic, fat boy be the truth
^!$$% live and learn, learn the streets or get burned
^!$$%s 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 $$# ^!$$%
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
It's hard to fill my shoes, imitators abuse

I just love the music, like my heart or my brain
Couldn't live without it, that's impossible man
I'm unstoppable man, from the bottom I came

^!$$%s scratching for bread, stumbled up on the fame
Humble ^!$$%s with game, shut yo mouth up and listen
Recognize it's a blessing thankful just to be living



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



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 %#@!, 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 %#@! like Bobby Womack and Al Green

Hell, I knew most of the old school %#@! 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 ntural that we would take the torch and run with it
Be serious but still have a little fun with it

MJG from a town that runs real deep
Ask B.B. King and Isaac Hayes on Bill Street






Yeah, On that pimping man, me and G was born and raised
Commodores, O'Jays, 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 ^!$$% 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



Cause it's The Memphis City really to call it itty bitty

Would be an understatement
We got big $$#, cash, and t******
Big pimping working and hurt

The pockets of big tippers
Side dippers
And big jails to hide ^!$$%s

But we stayed out em
Hard times we prayed bout em
^!$$% step up talking that %#@! and I laid out em
MJG reppin the Memphis Tennie
You and I could feel it

Pass me some of the Henn
