Memphis

Memphis

Roaring on the mighty Mississppi

We are the birth place of Rock and Roll

Here in this city the king still lives

Soul is something you're born with it's not taught

They say crime rules my city

I can't say I don't believe them

For I have seen the horror that you have caused

Shootings

Stabings

Rape

Burglary

All come to my mind

Still, you hold so much beauty

I love you no matter the harm you do

The day will come when crime and racism will not run this town

We will rebuild and tear down and repeat this cycle

Our city will shine, We must reach our goal

They show all the bad we do

They never credit you for your generous acts

Some of the most talented people were birth from you

The world has yet to see the tremendous things you offer

Fedex and International Paper were born here

Two major companies that affect the world.

Trust me they have not seen the other great corporations that are soon to come

Through it all you are an amazing city

We just keep rolling on the river
