Memphis

City of Kings,

City of Men,
and peasants...

a rebel,
a peacemaker,
a politician,
and a madman for a prince

City of the Bluffs,

City of the River,

City of Blues,
of Rock
of Rap

City of Pharaohs

City of gods
and men

City of Colors,
red
yellow
black and white
and all of their hearts sing Blue

Brown River, brown streets in blue veins
We are Men

in a City of Kings
all of us peasants
