For me, it's so much bigger than the money or the fame and when I go to other cities and They ask me my name
I tell them Memphis
Taking off is an understatement
We the stars, check the constellations

They see the truth and it's vivid
Ain't got a boost for the image
I move the crowd yelling, who coming with me
One time for Memphis

Born on that south side, East Memphis raised me
North made me tougher but that Black Haven made me

Born on that south side, East Memphis raised me
North made me tougher but that Black Haven made me

Put your motherfucking hands up
Now natives of Memphis go on and stand tough
I'm wishing that I had all of the answers
But the start of the change starts with these stanzas

See I stand for my city
Till the apocalypse hit it
Begin to witness the difference
Between getting put on the map
To operate in this business

Time has shifted cause gifted minds work together
To show that we are forever a part of
What makes it better to measure
The level of greatness that resides in this city

See it's a pity that all you see is the negative
Niggas killing but really you shed a positive light from the ceiling
It's non-existent
Man, pop is a super movement
For teaching knowledge and wisdom

We tryna spread the art globally
Keeping the hope alive
Give you a better experience, right for your mind
Heighten the odds, the work of God shines through
We're all alive, rep my city, give my all to the booth
This is the time

Taking off is an understatement
We the stars, check the constellations.
They see the truth and it's vivid
Ain't got a boost for the image
I move the crowd yelling who coming with me
One time for Memphis

Taking off is an understatement
We the stars, check the constellations
They see the truth and it's vivid
Ain't got a boost for the image
I move the crowd yelling who coming with me
One time for Memphis

Born on the south side, east Memphis raised me
North made me tougher but that black haven made me
Taught to stand ten toes down
And fear no mane
Learned it from my brother when he was running with them bovines

We used to ride with the heater in the lap
Eyes Japanese tight, DJ Paul on slap
Bluff city, never bluffing
Big facts and no cap
Matter of fact, disrespect it and we will call that
Mississippi River blood
Flowing through my veins
Feel the spirit of the ancestors
Every time I balled down Winchester
I feel alive cruising down Shelby Drive
That was way before Drake made it a vibe

And I'm proud of my city
How we touching the world
Even though we don't get the credit that we really deserve

For me it's so much bigger than the money
Or the fame and when I go to other cities
And they ask me my name
I tell them Memphis

Taking off is an understatement
We the stars, check the constellations
They see the truth and it's vivid
Ain't got a boost for the image
I move the crowd yelling who coming with me
One time for Memphis

Taking off is an understatement
We the stars, check the constellations
They see the truth and it's vivid
Ain't got a boost for the image
I move the crowd yelling who coming with me
One time for Memphis

Gemini, shit really feelin' I've been blessed with two souls
Not possessed with two, finesse ya view impressive new flows

'Ninety-two O'Neal, I shatter rims and setting new goals
Dedicate my life and check what the revenue holds
Let's change it to a new scene
Display my vision changing how you view things

Put the young ones in gold
Pave the way for new kings
Align some space for new stars
Straight up from there, pursue God

Refresh your soul, a new start
It's really what I require
And I supply the fire with no gas or lighter
Well, realize what's burning is my desire

And my influence elevates you, I'm the fly messiah
And you too far below the clit
And I just vibrate higher

Unite with my empire
And see the sight at which we sought out
Take our dreams, embrace 'em replace 'em once we awaken
I want it all, I know it's all for the taking
Not a clinic, but it's involvin' some patients

But after a while, we be yelling out

Taking off is an understatement
We the stars, check the constellations
They see the truth and it's vivid
Ain't got a boost for the image
I move the crowd yelling who coming with me
One time for Memphis

Taking off is an understatement
We the stars, check the constellations
They see the truth and it's vivid
Ain't got a boost for the image
I move the crowd yelling who coming with me
One time for Memphis

One time for Memphis
One time
One time
One time for Memphis

One time
One time
One time for Memphis
One time

One time
One time for Memphis
One time
One time

One time for Memphis

Born on that South Side
East Memphis raised me
North made me tougher but that Black Haven made me

Born on that South Side
East Memphis raised me
North made me tougher but that Black Haven made me

Born on that South Side
East Memphis raised me
North made me tougher but that Black Haven made me

Born on that South Side
East Memphis raised me
North made me tougher but that Black Haven made me

For me, it's so much bigger than the money
Or the fame and when I go to other cities
And they ask with my name
I say I'm from Memphis
