Justin Timberlake - Memphis Text

Songtext zu Memphis

You gon' be a star they said
They said
You gon' take us far, they said
They said

Everywhere you go they're gon' know your name
Who cares if you get lonely
Long as you're famous
Don't you want money and the cars
They said

Expensive liquor and cigars
They said

I mean what's better than having everything that you dreamed of?
Long as they need you
You don't need love

Just be great
Put on for your city, for your state
And whatever you do
Just make us proud
Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds
Yeah, they say
Just be great

Who cares if there's too much on your plate
Don't make no mistakes
And hide your pain
No rain

Whatever you do
Just make us proud
And ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds
Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds
You gonna be a star they said
They said

Don't waste your tomorrow, they said
They said
You're the one that's chosen to make it out
Gotta seize the moment
Don't let us down
Just gotta play your part, they said
And history, you'll be a part of it
I mean, what's better than having everything that you dreamed of?

Long as they need you, you don't need love
Just be great
Put on for your city, for your state
And whatever you do
Just make us proud
Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds
Yeah, they say
Just be great

Who cares if there's too much on your plate
Don't make no mistakes
And hide your pain
No rain
Whatever you do
Just make us proud
And ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds
Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds
I was way too far out in the world
But I still put on for my city

I was handing out too much milk money
Too much kitten, and ass, and titties
I lost my voice like a pastor
Faster than a harlem shimmy
But I guess that's what you get
For trying to make heartbreak pretty
They say life's a bitch
And then you die

So please, if you're penning my eulogy
Just say I tried
And that's word to Phineas, Jess and Si
And if I don't wake up in heaven
Then it was one hell of a ride
If I don't wake up in heaven
It was one hell of a ride
A hell of a ride

Momma said money can't buy me happiness
So I copped a G5
Tried to fly myself up next to it
I fucked up some commas
Just to dot dot dot
Where's the rest of it?
This what clean look like
When clean took life and made a mess of it
Had to realize I'm just blessed to it
You can't take it all with you
But you can remember the best of it
I pray for peace

Within myself
And no more regrets with it
Cause when I looked at my soul in the Mississippi
It reflected it
And if you know me
You're right next to it
I'm everything you thought I was
I'm everything I thought i was
It was everything I thought it was
It was everything I thought it was
