[00:00:08] Said I got the blues

[00:00:15] Said I got the blues

[00:00:22] Memphis city blues

[00:00:24] Light up the green watch me light up the room

[00:00:26] Watch me light up the mic fat boy be the truth

[00:00:29] Ni**a live and learn learn the streets or get burned

[00:00:32] Niggas take what you earn they be slick as a perm

[00:00:35] Man I try to be slicker try to be cunning and quicker

[00:00:38] Try to be more than just another broke a** ni**a

[00:00:41] In this game of life lose your life in the game

[00:00:44] Take a life full of pain make you remember my name

[00:00:47] From the home of the blues thought I paid my dues

[00:00:50] It's hard to fill my shoes imitators abuse

[00:00:53] I just love the music like my heart and my brain

[00:00:56] Couldn't live without it that's impossible man

[00:00:59] I'm unstoppable man from the bottom I came

[00:01:02] Niggas scratching for bread stumbled up on the fame

[00:01:05] Humble niggas with game shut yo' mouth up and listen

[00:01:08] Recognize it's a blessing thankful just to be living

[00:01:11] I got the Memphis City Blues

[00:01:14] I could feel it now

[00:01:15] The neighborhood pimps introduced us to pimping

[00:01:18] And everybody we know used to play in them streets

[00:01:21] Oh man oh man oh man

[00:01:23] I got the Memphis City Blues

[00:01:26] I could feel it now

[00:01:27] The neighborhood pimps introduced us to pimping

[00:01:30] And everybody we know used to play in them streets

[00:01:33] Oh man oh man oh man

[00:01:35] I had the Memphis City Jones running through my bones

[00:01:39] Way way back with A+ beepers and gray phones

[00:01:41] Even further back when I was just playing around the yard

[00:01:45] Riding bikes and sh*t falling and getting my legs scarred

[00:01:48] In the music city Memphis Tenn they turned me into this

[00:01:51] My dad and a couple of my friends they played instruments

[00:01:54] And when we used to roll to school at 16

[00:01:57] We bumped sh*t like Bobby Womack and Al Green

[00:01:59] Hell I knew most of the old school sh*t from front to end

[00:02:02] I would start to memorize four fives at age 10

[00:02:05] I come from a city where R&B run deep

[00:02:08] And the blues was the music that paved the whole street

[00:02:11] It was only natural that we would take the torch and run wit it

[00:02:15] Be serious but still have a little fun wit it

[00:02:18] MJG from a town that runs real deep

[00:02:21] Ask B B King and Isaac Hayes on Bill Street

[00:02:23] I got the Memphis City Blues

[00:02:25] I could feel it now

[00:02:27] The neighborhood pimps introduced us to pimping

[00:02:30] And everybody we know used to play in them streets

[00:02:33] Oh man oh man oh man

[00:02:35] I got the Memphis City Blues

[00:02:38] I could feel it now

[00:02:39] The neighborhood pimps introduced us to pimping

[00:02:42] And everybody we know used to play in them streets

[00:02:45] Oh man oh man oh man

[00:02:48] On that pimping man me and G was born and raised

[00:02:50] Commodores O Jays Frankie Beverly and Maze

[00:02:54] Windows rolled down no AC cause the gas low

[00:02:57] Bread at a minimum but still we found a place to go

[00:03:00] North to the South at my ni**a house chiefing out

[00:03:03] Skipping school learning what the Memphis City Blues 'bout

[00:03:06] Me and G and a whole bunch of others

[00:03:09] Had a rocky road to travel just to make the world love us

[00:03:12] 'Cause it's the Memphis City really to call it itty bitty

[00:03:14] Would be an understatement

[00:03:16] We got big a** cash and titties

[00:03:18] Big pimping working and hurt the pockets of big tippers

[00:03:21] Side dippers and big jails to hide niggas

[00:03:23] But we stayed out hard times we prayed bout 'em

[00:03:27] Ni**a step up talking that sh*t and I laid out 'em

[00:03:30] MJG rappin' the Memphis Tennie you and I could feel it

[00:03:34] Pass me some of the henny

[00:03:35] I got the Memphis City Blues

[00:03:38] I could feel it now

[00:03:39] The neighborhood pimps introduced us to pimping

[00:03:42] And everybody we know used to play in them streets

[00:03:45] Oh man oh man oh man

[00:03:47] I got the Memphis City Blues

[00:03:50] I could feel it now

[00:03:51] The neighborhood pimps introduced us to pimping

[00:03:54] And everybody we know used to play in them streets

[00:03:57] Oh man oh man oh man

[00:04:03] Said I got the blues

[00:04:05] Said I got the blues

[00:04:12] Said I got the blues

[00:04:15] Gotta Jones in my bones

[00:04:16] And it won't leave me alone

[00:04:20] I got the blues
