Intro
Touchdown, born in Memphis,
City of the delta blues,
KMB CDB,
Tell the world that I’m living this life for two,

Living this life for two,
Living this life for two,
KMB CDB,
Tell the world that I’m living this life for two,

Verse – One
Touchdown in the land of the delta blues,
It was, August 1982,
Two cute little baby boys were born,
Mother and a father held em' tightly in their arms,

Just dreamin', about the people they'd be,
A doctor, a pastor, maybe an emcee,
Little did they know one would be all three,
Healing hearts around the world with the Gospel on a beat,

Pre-Chorus
And it won't stop, cause’ it don't stop,
In the city of the delta blues,
Made me a man on a mission, with crazy ambition,
To live this here life for two,

And it won't stop cause’ it don't stop,
In Memphis we got soul,
When you touchdown here as a Christian child,
You were born to rock n' roll, now let’s go,

Chorus
Oh, I was born in Memphis,
My God smilin' down on me,
Born in Memphis,
My brother next to me,
Yeah we we're born in Memphis,

Verse – Two
Initials on the arm tell the world,
That this boy right here livin' life for two,
KMB CDB forever reminds me of God's Plan
And what I got to do,

And what I gotta do has never been more clear,
Inject the Gospel in the mainstream ear,
With no fear, get the whole world clappin’,
Always walkin’ by faith when I’m making it happen,

Pre-Chorus
And no it won't stop, cause’ it don't stop,
In the city of the delta blues,
Made me a man on a mission, with crazy ambition,
To live this here life for two,

And it won't stop cause’ it don't stop,
In Memphis we got soul,
When you touchdown here as a Christian child,
You were born to rock n' roll, now let’s go,

Chorus
Oh, I was born in Memphis,
My God smilin' down on me,
Born in Memphis,
My brother next to me,
Yeah we we're born in Memphis,

Breakdown
There was this kid, who played piano,
Wrote songs and made beats in his studio,

And when he got his music out there in the world,
The people they loved what they heard,

Then they asked him to do a little number,
It made him smile and he sang with all his might,

And the people they said,
He must be a Christian child,

And you better believe I said,
Yeah I am tonight,

I am tonight,
I am tonight,
I am tonight,

Born in Memphis,
We we’re, born in Memphis,

Chorus
Oh, I was born in Memphis,
My God smilin' down on me,
Born in Memphis,
My brother next to me,
Yeah we we're born in Memphis,

Outro
Born in Memphis,
We we’re, born in Memphis,

Touchdown, born in Memphis,
City of the delta blues,
KMB CDB,
Tell the world that I’m living this life for two,

Living this life for two,
Living this life for two,
KMB CDB,
Tell the world that I’m living this life for two.
