Blue Memphis

Blue Memphis


Young man Ty was going home
After taking in the sunset

Skateboarder and a father
Didn’t know what was up around the bend

Just a few blocks from home
Where Momma was waiting

Would even stop home for
Lunch with his favorite lady

Feelin real blue in the heart of Memphis
Feelin real blue in the heart of Memphis

Now a 4 year old is asking
Where’s Daddy I want him to come home

But it’s a long way to redemption for
The bastards that did this

Weren’t they supposed to protect and
Serve the community but there is
No immunity for their sorry souls

Blue is a color that brings fear
To the community

I’m Feelin real blue in the heart of Memphis

5 against 1
Sounds like a fair fight to the devils in blue

How can this keep repeating over
And over and over again

It’s an institutional cancer
Doesn’t matter if the cop is white or black

If you get pulled over and you’re the
Wrong color this could be the end of you

Didn’t want to watch the video
But I had to see how lost they were
From their own humanity
