[Intro]
Nigga we been here forever (First Family)
Let's go! Yeahhh, y'all know how the game go
Yeah, nigga we at it, we still at 'em nigga
(Put 'em up nigga) Firing Squad! YEAH!
Just make a note of it
One, one, we like it rockin nigga
(Put 'em up) Yeah, we still hip-hoppin nigga
(It's the way of the world) One on one, yeah
Fuckin with the murder staff now (TRUE TO LIFE!!!)
[Billy Danze]
Yo I was drivin an $80,000 car befo' I got with Dash
But I won't lie and say this ain't about the cash
Cognac, six-pack, and some dough in the stash
Sit back and watch my children play in the grass
And hopefully through this writin I'm enlightenin the hood
(Seems sorta sheisty) Yeah; but it ain't all good
Everyone that did me wrong, know this nigga strong
So hopefully for you that animosity is gone
(THROW IT UP!) For the homey Headquarters
And all the other brothers we lost in muddy waters (waters)
How do we go through life when our peeps don't support us
(You put up a good fight) Yeah but the streets still caught us
And the beef still brought us, in the middle of the street
Bodies riddled from bullets from our head to our feet
The game get deep, but y'all just see the surface
Y'all don't see no purpose, y'all just sleep
(HOW SHOULD A YOUNG G STAND?) Don't ask Danze
I don't fuck with them children I'm a grown-ass man
I live on the edge, I was raised where most niggaz pledge
to murder motherfuckers by the dozen
[Hook: unknown singer]
I'm drownin in the.. shallow waters
And I'm trying so hard, to reach the top
Something so unpure.. in the air to catch
I feel siiiin upon me
[Chorus: First Family]
You win some, you lose some
It's two roads to choose from, choose one - muddy waters
If your family chose, the road of the old code
You bound to lose one - these muddy waters
You win some, you lose some
It's two roads to choose from, choose one
Remember how you and the homey rode, make sure you travel
with the homey soul, when steppin through muddy waters
[Lil' Fame]
Yo, I'm in once, hustled in the rain, sleet, snow
(ON THE GRIND) Sheepskin, 40 belows
To feed his family, it was sweet tears and blood
That's what I call love, what do you call love?
Picture the same man losin his life for some lame bitch
he was out on the grind for, long story short
For Father's Day she'll place flowers on his grave
Then head upstate, to visit the nigga that murdered him the next day
(Look at that) My fundamentals come from the Hill
Travelled to it but left love in the 'Ville
Still hear the sound of my footsteps, steppin away
from my childhood toward the physique and the frame of a nigga
But mentally I'm stuck in the past
Askin myself why I was walkin so fast
Muh'fuckers think I'm ballin, I ain't ballin
I'm drinkin wit'cha'll tryin to get heart to face me stallin
It's like my moms is the angel in the sky
And I can see tears comin down the West Indian lady eyes
But, I apologize, and those I've hurt
with my bullshit, please believe I ain't mean it
(He ain't mean it) But I'm still a good man
As a kid I was given a fucked up hand, but I
still march as I scream at the top of my lungs
M.O.P. TO THE DEATH, stompin through muddy waters
[Chorus]

Oh baby, you don't have to go
Oh baby, you don't have to go
You know I'm gonna pack up baby, down the road I go
Whoa baby, what's gettin' wrong with you
Whoa baby, what's gettin' wrong with you
You don't treat me nothin' girl, like you used to do
Well I gave you all of my money and let you go downtown
You come back in the evenin' you call me all kind of
clown
Oh baby, you don't have to go
You know I'm gonna pack up baby, down the road I go
Whoa baby, turn your lamp down low
Whoa baby, turn your lamp down low

Billed out and bound to go.

Drove a good man away from home.

I won't be back no more.

Alright, alright.
Thank you so much ladies and gentlemen right here,
right here I want to tell you a little story.
This is about a country boy from down home.
This young man has never been north before.
I want you to listen to me, I got something to tell
you.
He heard about Chicago.
He worked hard over here, made all of that money, 800
dollars.
After caring for his crop, he called his cousin in
Chicago,
and he said, "Cousin, I'm on my way".
He picked all of that cotton.
I said this is about a country boy like myself, B.B.
King you know.
So when he get to Chicago, his cousin meet him and
bring him out to the club.
He said, "Set him up!", cous's payin' for.
Had all the go-go girls set up, waitin' up.
They carried him downtown and put him up in one of the
pleasure hotels.
They brought him back out and said, "Set him up!",
cous's payin' for.
His money got a little lighter, they lured him out from
the Lute and brought him down to Robert's.
And then he said, "Set him up!", cous's payin' for.
And then the 800 dollars, bein' more money then my man
had ever had, began to run out.
Then they moved him out and put him down with the ...
And then, ladies and gentlemen, the go-go girls would
get fewer.
His friends was fewer.
All his buddies are startin' passin' him on the other
side of the street.
And then it happened all his buddies were gone.
And my man knew only one thing to do, it was getting
cold there, like it is today,
you know what I'm talking about.
He went down to the railroad yard,
and one of the few ladies that had helped him to spent
his money, came by to see him.
And she said "You fool!, you fool!", I wouldn't have
spend your money, but the rest of them was spending
your money so I decided to spend my portion too, you
know.
But ladies, God bless 'em, wonderful something's aren't
they?.
They always like to feel like they're needed, and she
knew my man needed her bad.
He gotten sick, he's layin' down there under the
boxcar.
Couldn't read so well, so you know if he couldn't read
so well, he couldn't write too well,
you know what I'm talkin' about?
So this is a letter back down home, I know what I'm
talkin' about.
It go like this:
I've had my fun, whoah, if I don't get well no more
Whoah, I've had my fun, people, ooh, if I don't get
well no more
Yes, my health is faillin' on me now, people
Ooh, and I'm goin', goin' down slow
Yes, tell my mother, people, please tell her the shape
I'm in
Ooh yes, tell my people, mother, tell her the shape I'm
Tell her to pray for me, people, ooh, to forgive,
people, my sins
Oohooh mother, mother I live alone with my prayers
Ooh, tell my mother, people, tell her this is all in
prayers
Yes, if you don't see this old body, mother

Forty days and forty nights
Since my baby left this town
Sunshinin' all day long
But the rain keep comin' down

Love can make a poor man rich
Or break his heart I don't know which
Forty days and forty nights
Like a ship out on the sea
Prayin' for her each night
That she would come back-a home to me
Life is love and love is right

Sittin' on the outside, just me and my mate
You know I'm made to move you honey,
come up two hours late
Wasn't that a man

That represents man
No B, O child, Y
That mean mannish boy
I'm a man
I'm a full grown man
I'm a natural born lovers man
I'm a rollin' stone
Man-child
I'm a hoochie coochie man
The line I shoot will never miss
When I make love to a woman,
she can't resist
I think I go down,
to old Kansas Stew
I'm gonna bring back my second cousin,
that little Johnny Cocheroo
All you little girls,
sittin'out at that line
I can make love to you woman,
in five minutes time
Ain't that a man
I spell mmm, aaa child, nnn
That represents man
No B, O child, Y
That mean mannish boy
I'm a full grown man
I'm a natural born lovers man
I'm a rollin' stone
I'm a man-child
I'm a hoochie coochie man

Don't hurt me, don't hurt me child
don't hurt me, don't hurt, don't hurt me child

Kansas City
by Muddy Waters
(Oh, let's go to Kansas City, now.)
I'm going to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come.

They got some crazy little women there
And I'm gonna get me one.
I'm gonna be standing on the corner, Twelfth Street and
Vine.
I'm gonna be standing on the corner, Twelfth Street and
Vine;
With my Kansas City baby and my bottle
Of Kansas City wine.
Well, I might take a train, might take a plane,
But if I have to walk,
I'm gonna fly there just the same.
Yeaaaah, Kansas City here I come.
They got some crazy little women there
And I'm gonna get me one.
Well, if I don't leave that woman I know I'm gonna die.
Got to find a brand new baby and here's the reason why:

Woman I was troubled, I was all worried in mind
Well honey I could never be satisfied
And I just couldn't keep from cryin'
Well I know my little old baby
She gonna jump and shout
That old train be late man, Lord
And I come walking out
I be troubled, I be all worried in mind
Well honey ain't no way in the world could we be
satisfied

Mama was angry
Said: "Girl you must have lost your head
Only the lazy
Stay the whole day long in bed
Your skirts need mending
And the floor cries to be swept
Don't make me scream, girl
Did you hear just what I said?"
She spoke up to me
Like so many times before
She said: "Now, listen, girl
You ain't walking through that door
Your friends may call you
You won't be hanging 'round no more
By the muddy waters"
OOh yeah, muddy waters
Mama was shouting
Said: "Girl, you better watch your step
That good-for-nothing
You couldn't trust him when he's dead
He makes no money
And though he dresses like a Lord
Sweet child believe me
He'll make your pretty eyes go sore"
She spoke up to me
Like a thousand times before
She said: "Now listen, girl
You ain't walking through that door
No little lady
You two are sailing way too close
By the muddy waters"
Ooh yeah, muddy waters
She spoke up to me
Like a thousand times before
She said: "Now listen, girl
You ain't walking through that door
No little lady
You two are sailing way to close
To the muddy waters"
Ooh yeah, the muddy waters.
I ain't gonna go

Out my window the sky is looking grey
I poured my wine and roll myself a jay
I missed my ride on the early morning train
I wonder if my life will be the same
I see that this leads me astray
My defence is down when I'm in this daze
I'm stoned
We all need to feel the sun
We all need to feel someone
Like the grass needs the rain to grow
With every high there's always a low
Getting high, feeling low
Muddy waters on my radio
I take my time, nowhere to go
Muddy waters on my radio
Looking back to all my yesterday's
All I cared for was the latest craze
I missed my chances will they ever come again
I wonder if my life will be the same
I see that this leads me astray
My defence is down when I'm in this daze
I'm getting lazy in a smoky haze
I'm stoned
Chorus
I see that this leads me astray
My defence is down when I'm in this daze
I'm getting lazy in a smoky haze
I'm stoned
We all need to feel the sun
Chorus
Feel the sun warm your soul
Shine on me, shine on every one
Drink my wine smoke my blow

On my own again
I got myself to blame
Bitterness remains today
Here I go again

Famous quotes by Muddy Waters:

"Saturday night is your big night. Everybody used to fry up fish and have one hell of a time. Find me playing till sunrise for 50 cents and a sandwich. And be glad of it. And they really liked the low-down blues."

"Robert Johnson? No, I didn't know him, personally."

"I was so wild and crazy and dumb in my car. It didn't run but 30 miles an hour. You made do."

"Them older people... they didn't think you could make it in no kind of city. They think if you get in the city-starvation."

"When we needed to find a hippie bookstore that sold secondhand books, I thought of Abandoned Planet (518 Valencia St.), which is right across the street from where I used to live, ... When I was a starving writer-director-actor, I'd go to the Muddy Waters Cafe (521 Valencia St.) every day, buy a $3.50 burrito and eat half for lunch, half for dinner."

"The thing about San Francisco is that it has this kind of magical quality,"

"Our location manager sent me photos of different possibilities, and I picked out my favorite, which was this apartment building at Mason and Green, ... I sent it to Leslie, and she said, 'That's my apartment building! That's literally where I lived in San Francisco.' I felt that was a good sign."

"I got that first record out, it came out in '47... Then my name began to ring around. I began to take over. From that point, I tell you, Chicago was in my hand, all the more time that those guys had to listen to me."

"I rambled all the time. I was just like that, like a rollin' stone."

"That Mississippi sound, that Delta sound is in them old records. You can hear it all the way through."

"Our little house was way back in the country. We had one house close to us, and hell the next one would've been a mile. If you got sick, you could holler and wouldn't nobody hear you."

"Of course that was my idol, Son House. I think he did a lot for the Mississippi slide down there."

"I stone got crazy when I saw somebody run down them strings with a bottleneck. My eyes lit up like a Christmas tree and I said that I had to learn."

"There's no way in the world I can feel the same blues the way I used to. When I play in Chicago, I'm playing up-to-date, not the blues I was born with. People should hear the pure blues - the blues we used to have when we had no money."

"I been in the blues all my life. I'm still delivering 'cause I got a long memory."

"You get a heck of a sound from the church. Can't you hear it in my voice?"

"I went to school, but they didn't give you too much schooling because just as soon as you was big enough, you get to working in the fields. I guess I was a big boy for my age."

"If you got something you don't want other people to know, keep it in your pocket."

"I got up one Christmas morning and we didn't have nothing to eat. We didn't have an apple, we didn't have an orange, we didn't have a cake, we didn't have nothing."
