If I can make it here, I can make it there. Made in Memphis, I can make it anywhere. My city is a war zone

You lucky if you make it home. Everyday on edge, somebody's shot, somebody's dead. Never ever seen a heart so cold

They wanna, they wanna take your soul. We'll kick it after meal tickets. On a mission for money

But I still visit. Damn, it's like I ain't got time though. Looking for me

You can find me in grind mode. Quick to intertwine when I get a moment. You fuckin' with a boss player, baby, help you get up on it

And then I'm gone and I'm back to the moolah. Dead broke or rich, born superstar. And they know who we are when they see us

Can't help but floss when my cheese up. Big house on the hill, no neighbors. I'm just workin' with the hand that they gave us

Gotta get it out the mud when you thugged out. Can't blame mama that I grew up in a drug house. Although my pops was a black soldier

My mom and my dad was a crack smoker. Might beg or borrow, but I'ma be straight. Color people time, ****, I'ma be late

If I can make it here, I can make it there. Made in Memphis, I can make it anywhere. My city is a war zone

You lucky if you make it home. Everyday on edge, somebody's shot, somebody's dead. Never ever seen a heart so cold

They wanna, wanna take your soul. My role model sold drugs. I got schooled by the old thugs

Quick to act a fool with the tool. Playin' in these streets, gotta know the rules. I got labeled with the hoodlums

They was just young, ****, no one understood them. Hey, start rollin' down the back street. Duckin' police with a choppa on the back seat

Lookin' for a caper, tryin' to cut the paper. Until we all motherfuckin' major. It's kill or be killed, this is how they made us

Make enough bread, but it's never enough. So they played us. We can only save us

Until then, I'ma need cake. Might beg or borrow, but I'ma be straight. Color people time, ****, I'ma be late

If I can make it here, I can make it there. Made in Memphis, I can make it anywhere. My city is a war zone

You lucky if you make it home. Everyday on edge. Somebody's shot, somebody's dead

Never ever seen a heart so cold. They wanna, they wanna take your soul.
