Murphy Lee - Same Ol' Dirty Lyrics
[Verse 1: Murphy Lee]When I first started back in 1989I was trying to claim games, I was barely writing rhymesI was 7 to 8, a little nigga with his head straightNever got to school early, always went to bed lateGrew up with the older dudes, do what your brother doIt's just so he happen to rap, "Man you think you cool?"Ali was my motivator, rapper slash educatorKept these boys dedicated mama like we better had made itCuz my first name's paid, my last name billsEven though I got a record deal I paid bills stillAnd erreybody changed to sell usI wish the fans would understand to except us and just us (?)I know we blush, on a well-equipped busAnd money we got enough, at least enough to not fussWe still got stress like youSo in other words little dirty we just like youya know![Chorus: Toya]They thought he changed up since he came upBut he's the same ol' dirtyMight have switched his game up cuz the fame stuckBut it's the same ol' MurphyMight have switched his friends up since he done been upCuz it's the same ol' dirtyMight have switched his rims up on his benzBut he's the same ol'.. Murphy[Verse 2: Murphy Lee]I know you ain't acting front-y (?)My fans are like the police they be asking for meAsk them do they know me they probably say who caresTell 'em I'm with Nelly they getta coming in pairsThe fame thing is the same thing as the devilPeople who see you never put on you on a hell of a levelI once wore scuffed up Air Force 2'sAnd this girl said, "That ain't Murphy Lee look at his shoes!"See these kids are so smart recognize you from head startThey be like "I know that ain't you up in Wal-Mart"Can't a brother buy his own draws I'm not a starI'm a grown ass boy I'm not staying the in carBut people gonna recognize, they know who you areWell if they see me today, they gon' be cool tomorrowCuz I'm a be at Circuit City buying DVD'sAnd hungry eating fries at your local Mickey D's[Chorus: Toya][Verse 3: Murphy Lee]Yo, yo, I'm still the same dirty, dirty I still make mistakesI know my birthday was the only day a dirty saw a cakeI'm humble like an African King I appreciate thingsLet me refer you on what's happening thenIn 93, had an idea we really believed in94, 95 we began critiquingIn 96, I think we signed some bullshit97, yo we had the number one hit98, had to vacate to get our shit straightSigned with Cool-to-love to get rid of one of the headachesIn 9-9, it's when them boys got signedand if Nelly don't sell a record then it all goes down0-0 thru 0-1 we weren't below no oneand no one could ever take from or want more done0-2, Lunatics sold damn near 2So in 0-3, we gon see what Murphy Lee gon do[Chorus: Toya - 2X]
