Same Ol' Dirty Lyrics - Singles - Murphy Lee

When I first started back in 1989 

I was trying to claim games, I was barely writing rhymes 

I was 7 to 8, a little nigga with his head straight 

Never got to school early, always went to bed late 

Grew up with the older dudes, do what your brother do 

It's just so he happen to rap, "Man you think you cool?" 

Ali, was my motivator, rapper slash educator 

Kept these boys dedicated mama like we better had made it 

'Cuz my first name's paid, my last name bills 

Even though I got a record deal I paid bills still 

And everybody changed to sell us 

I wish the fans would understand to accept us and just us 

I know we blush on a well-equipped bus 

And money we got enough, at least enough to not fuss 

We still got stress like you 

So in other words little dirty, we just like you, ya know 

They thought he changed up since he came up 

But he's the same ol' dirty 

Might have switched his game up 'cuz the fame stuck 

But it's the same ol' Murphy 

Might have switched his friends up since he done been up 

'Cuz it's the same ol' dirty 

Might have switched his rims up on his Benz 

But he's the same ol' Murphy 

I know you ain't acting funny 

My fans are like the police they be asking for me 

Ask them do they know me they probably say "Who cares?" 

Tell 'em I'm with Nelly they getta coming in pairs 

The fame thing is the same thing as the Devil 

People who see you never put on you on a hell of a level 

I once wore scuffed up Air Force 2's 

And this girl said, "That ain't Murphy Lee, look at his shoes" 

See these kids are so smart recognize you from head start 

They be like "I know that ain't you up in Wal-Mart" 

Can't a brother buy his own drawers I'm not a star 

I'm a grown ass boy I'm not staying the in car 

But people gonna recognize, they know who you are 

Well if they see me today, they gon' be cool tomorrow 

'Cuz I'm a be at Circuit City buying DVD's 

And hungry eating fries at your local Mickey D's 

They thought he changed up since he came up 

But he's the same ol' dirty 

Might have switched his game up 'cuz the fame stuck 

But it's the same ol' Murphy 

Might have switched his friends up since he done been up 

'Cuz it's the same ol' dirty 

Might have switched his rims up on his Benz 

But he's the same ol' Murphy 

Yo, yo, I'm still the same dirty, dirty I still make mistakes 

I know my birthday was the only day a dirty saw a cake 

I'm humble like an African King, I appreciate things 

Let me refer you on what's happening then 

In '93, had an idea we really believed in 

'94, '95 we began critiquing 

In '96, I think we signed some bullshit 

'97, yo we had the number one hit 

'98, had to vacate to get our shit straight 

Signed with Cool-to-love to get rid of one of the headaches 

In '99, it's when them boys got signed 

And if Nelly don't sell a record then it all goes down 

0-0 thru 0-1 we weren't below no one 

And no one could ever take from or want more done 

0-2, Lunatics sold damn near 2 

So in 0-3, we gon see what Murphy Lee gon do 

They thought he changed up since he came up 

But he's the same ol' dirty 

Might have switched his game up 'cuz the fame stuck 

But it's the same ol' Murphy 

Might have switched his friends up since he done been up 

'Cuz it's the same ol' dirty 

Might have switched his rims up on his Benz 

But he's the same ol' Murphy 

They thought he changed up since he came up 

But he's the same ol' dirty 

Might have switched his game up 'cuz the fame stuck 

But it's the same ol' Murphy 

Might have switched his friends up since he done been up 

'Cuz it's the same ol' dirty 

Might have switched his rims up on his Benz 

But he's the same ol' Murphy Lee 

Murphy Lee, Murphy Lee, Murphy Lee, yea yea
