Letra de Memphis
You gon' be a star, they said
They said
You gon' take us far, 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
Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds
(Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds)
You gon, 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 (Great)
Put on for your city, for your state (State)
And whatever you do
Just make us proud (Proud)
Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds (Clouds)
Yeah, they say
Just be great (Just be great)
Who cares if there's too much on your plate (Your plate now)
Don't make no mistakes and hide your pain
No rain
Whatever you do, just make us proud
Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds, oooh
(Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds)
Oooh
(Ain't gonna be no)
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 (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 (Hell of a ride)
If I don't wake up in Heaven
Then 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
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
Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds
(Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds)
You gon, 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 (Great)
Put on for your city, for your state (State)
And whatever you do
Just make us proud (Proud)
Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds (Clouds)
Yeah, they say
Just be great (Just be great)
Who cares if there's too much on your plate (Your plate now)
Don't make no mistakes and hide your pain
No rain
Whatever you do, just make us proud
Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds, oooh
(Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds)
Oooh
(Ain't gonna be no)
