The hatred, the poverty, the financial struggles

These are all the things I see

Most prevalent in a city well known by the name of Memphis, Tennessee 

It's hard to get out

It's hard to leave

Hard to be successful

In a city well known by the name of Memphis, Tennessee

Individualism and creativty are often over looked by the onlookers

They don't know what being a teenger in today's society entails

Every day I wake up thinking is this a unknown hell

Oh, how eager I am to get away and find new things

Things that will never be found in a city that pulls you down like a bucket of crabs

In a well known city by the name of Memphis, Tennessee
