Memphis Tennessee full of bottom feeders
Not talking fish but our city leaders
Like a corrupt Robin Hood going door to door
robbing from the rich, stealing from the poor
Kids killing kids, and babies bearing arms
Heroes are the gangsters with the biggest charms

Shoot it down, lay it to waste, burn this city
Let it die,never rebuild, burn this city

Afraid to walk down the street, with people smoking crack
Always on the lookout for the gun into your back
Once a nice city, now so full of hate
On a scale of 1-10 minus 666 is where we rate
Constant fear of walking out your door
Every morning on the news the death tolls more and more

Shoot it down, lay it to waste, burn this city
Let it die, never rebuild, burn this city

There must be some nice parts yes?

People who don't live here will say yes but no there is not, one of the lowest rated school systems, one of the highest crime rates, one of the highest murder rates, rediculously corrupt politicians. Not to mention any of the "attractions" that we had have all been removed...

I liked it, thanks for posting it. I can hear the rap, but it's poetry--not just because it rhymes.

saddly rap and punk lyrics are similar beats and this is a punk song that is the first song my band has done for the new album...

welcome

I like punk cause it's generally a little more frenetic, and anti-establishment, which makes you work at the lyrics more. Rap started that way, and still is pretty much in Europe. I didn't know anyone still wrote punk. Keep up the bad work!

thanks

definately read this thinking of a band singing it...I imagine it has a hard beat

Hey what band??

Where can I hear it??

Like the flow, and dug the words...good work.

I would like to hear this song in a rendition by Celine Dion.
