Representing Memphis Lyrics

I love it on the Southside
They know how to deep fry
Take it up to Orange Mound
We're representing Memphis

I like it at the Harlem House
Almost good as at my Momma's house
Make it at the Klondike
We're representing Memphis

I grew up there so don't talk about my city
From the hood to the burbs we all stay busy
From the bottom to the top we got it alot
We're representing Memphis

I love it on the Southside
They know how to deep fry
Take it up to Orange Mound
We're representing Memphis

I like it at the Harlem House
Almost good as at my Momma's house
Make it at the Klondike
We're representing Memphis

I grew up there so don't talk about my city
From the hood to the burbs we all stay busy
From the bottom to the top we got it alot
We're representing Memphis

I grew up there so don't talk about my city
From the hood to the burbs we all stay busy
From the bottom to the top we got it alot
We're representing Memphis

I grew up there so don't talk about my city
From the hood to the burbs we all stay busy
From the bottom to the top we got it alot
We're representing Memphis

Down in Memphis

I love it on the Southside
They know how to deep fry
Take it up to Orange Mound
We're representing Memphis

I like it at the Harlem House
Almost good as at my Momma's house
Make it at the Klondike
We're representing Memphis

I grew up there so don't talk about my city
From the hood to the burbs we all stay busy
From the bottom to the top we got it alot
We're representing Memphis

I love it on the Southside
They know how to deep fry
Take it up to Orange Mound
We're representing Memphis

I like it at the Harlem House
Almost good as at my Momma's house
Make it at the Klondike
We're representing Memphis

I grew up there so don't talk about my city
From the hood to the burbs we all stay busy
From the bottom to the top we got it alot
We're representing Memphis

I grew up there so don't talk about my city
From the hood to the burbs we all stay busy
From the bottom to the top we got it alot
We're representing Memphis

I grew up there so don't talk about my city
From the hood to the burbs we all stay busy
From the bottom to the top we got it alot
We're representing Memphis

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
