歌词：8Ball & MJG. Memphis City Blues.

Mmmmmm
Said I got the blues
Said I got the blues
Memphis City Blues

[Verse 1]
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
Mane I try to be slicka
Tryna be cunnin' and quicka
Tryna be more than just
Another broke ass nigga
In this game of life
Lose your life in the game
Take a life fulla pain
Make ya 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 with out it
That's impossible mane (ooohhh yeah)
I'm unstoppable mane
From the bottom I came
Niggas scratchin' for bread
Stumbled up on the fame
Humble niggas with game
Shut yo mouth up and listen
Recognize it's a blessin'
Thankful just to be livin'

[Chorus]
I got the Memphis City Blues
Oohh I can feel it now.
The neighborhood pimps introduced us to pimpin'
And everybody we know
Used to play in the streets oh man oh man
Oh man
I got the Memphis City Blues
Oohh I can feel it now
The neighborhood pimps introduced us to pimpin'
(this is how they put it down)
And everybody we know
Used to play in the streets on man oh man
Oh man

[Verse 2]
I have the Memphis city
Jones runnin through my bones
Way way back with a plus beepers and gray phones
Even futha back when I was just playin' around the yard
Ridin' bikes and shit fallin and getting' my legs scarred
In the music city
Memphis Tenn that turned me into this
My dad and a couple of my friends play instruments
And when we used to roll to school at sixteen
We bump shit like Bobby Womack and Al Green
Hell I knew most of the old school shit from front to end
I was startin' to memorize fo fives at age ten
I come from a city where R and 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 with it
Be serious but still have a little fun wit it
MJG from a town that runs real deep
Ask BB King and Isaac Hayes on Beal Street.

[Chorus]
I got the Memphis City Blues
Oohh I can feel it now.
The neighborhood pimps introduced us to pimpin'
And everybody we know
Used to play in the streets oh man oh man
Oh man
I got the Memphis City Blues
Oohh I can feel it now
The neighborhood pimps introduced us to pimpin'
(this is how they put it down)
And everybody we know
Used to play in the streets on man oh man
Oh man

[Verse 3]
On that pimpin man me and G was born and raised
Commadores, OJays, Frankie, Beverly, and Mays
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 chiefin' out
Skippin school learnin what the Memphis city blues bout
Me and G and a whole bunch a 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 gas cash and titties
Big pimpin' workin' and hurtin' the pockets of big tippas
Side dippas and big jails to hide niggas
But we stayed out em
Hard times we prayed bout em
Niggas step up talkin' that shit and I laid out em
MJ..G repin the Memphis Tenny
Oohh and I can feel it pass me some of that Henny

[Chorus]
I got the Memphis City Blues
Oohh I can feel it now.
The neighborhood pimps introduced us to pimpin'
And everybody we know
Used to play in the .. streets oh man oh man
Oh man
I got the Memphis City Blues
Oohh I can feel it now
The neighborhood pimps introduced us to pimpin'
(this is how they put it down)
And everybody we know
Used to play in the .. streets on man oh man
Oh man

Memphis City
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 lone
I got the blues
Mmmmmmmm
