8ball mjg - memphis city blues lyrics

said i got the blues
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
n-gg- live and learn, learn the streets or get burned
n-gg-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 -ss n-gg-
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 and my brain
couldn’t live without it, that’s impossible man
i’m unstoppable man, from the bottom i came
n-gg-s scratching for bread, stumbled up on the fame
humble n-gg-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
ooo, i could feel it now
the neighborhood pimps introduced us to pimping
and everybody we know used to play in them streets
oh man, oh man, oh man

i got the memphis city blues
ooo, i could feel it now
the neighborhood pimps introduced us to pimping
(this is how they put it down)
everybody we know used to play in them streets
(we know)
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 sh-t, 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 b-mped sh-t like bobby womack and al green

h-ll, i knew most of the old school sh-t 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 bill street

i got the memphis city blues
ooo, i could feel it now
the neighborhood pimps introduced us to pimping
and everybody we know used to play in them streets
oh man, oh man, oh man

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 n-gg- 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 -ss, cash, and t-tties
big pimping working and hurt, the pockets of big tippers
side dippers and big jails to hide n-gg-s
but we stayed out, hard times, we prayed bout ’em
n-gg- step up talking that sh-t and i laid out ’em
mjg rappin’ the memphis tennie, you and i could feel it
p-ss me some of the henny

i got the memphis city blues
ooo, i could feel it now
the neighborhood pimps introduced us to pimping
and everybody we know used to play in them streets
oh man, oh man, oh man

i got the memphis city blues
ooo, 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 streets
(we know)
oh man, oh man, oh man

said i got the blues
said i got the blues
said i got the blues
gotta jones in my bones
and it won’t leave me alone
i got the blues
