[Intro: Upchurch]
How can you blame us, yeah?
How can you blame us, yeah?
How can you blame us, yeah?
How can you blame us, how can you blame us? (Jelly Roll)
Yeah

[Verse 1: Jelly Roll]
I'm from the Nashville that had no traffic problems
Before the bachelorettes and the bachelor parties
Had a gun with a drum, trapped out apartments
And I beat that shit like Travis Barker
When I left the house it was carried with me
Back then it was very different
Back then I was scary with it
I'm a Tennessee Titan like Derrick Henry
Woo, so miss me with that petty shit (That petty shit)
I turned down more pussy than you'll ever get
I'm a big boy, got big game
Ask your chick, I spit flames
Propane, that cocaine
I enjoy like Rick James
Lettin' you know that these rappers are fried
Tell you the truth they just actin' too hard
Just so I'm clear if you try one of us, my boys'll deploy like the National Guard
Merkules my twin this that Stompdown Shit
Upchurch, that's my brother, that's that creek squad bitch (Creek squad)
[Chorus: Upchurch | Merkules]
When rollin' through my city I see changes
I see tourists pissin' on the street in front of ladies
I see locals bumpin' shoulders with em', and they dangerous
They don't know the vibe behind these new skyscrapers but
How can you blame us, yeah?
How can you blame us, yeah?
How can you blame us, yeah? (Nashville to Canada I see you Jelly, Upchurch, what up?)
How can you blame us, how can you blame us?
Yeah
Uh, huh

[Verse 2: Merkules]
How can you blame us
Stab us in the back and then smile in our faces
Half of y’all only come around 'cause I'm famous
Don't get me pissed off 'cause I'm liable to break it
So let me relax, I've been countin' my Benjamins
Fuck around and put 'em in the ground with the skeletons
I got they heads spinnin' around like it's the Exorcist
Y'all should write a book on how to be irrelevant
I'm off my meds, someone call my doctor
I'm on my shit but I'm off my rocker
For breakfast, I'm takin' down shots of vodka
Somebody tell Arnold that I got the chopper
Merk and Church is a deadly combination
Got a machete and I'm ready for any confrontation
If anybody thinkin' they on our level then I'm waitin'
They should see the bigger picture, but instead they want to play us
[Chorus: Upchurch]
When rollin' through my city I see changes
I see tourists pissin' on the street in front of ladies
I see locals bumpin' shoulders with em', and they dangerous
They don't know the vibe behind these new skyscrapers but
How can you blame us, yeah?
How can you blame us, yeah?
How can you blame us, yeah?
How can you blame us, how can you blame us?
Yeah

[Verse 3: Upchurch]
Yeah, walk around in my Preds hoodie
On Demonbreun with some bad honeys
Done made it now, people act funny
Fuck mainstream, I'm local, homie
I was born up at Baptist
Tourists complain' 'bout traffic then pass out in dirty alleys
I was born with my veins look like Music City neons
Tristar wooded like every place that I be in
Hell I grew up on Starlito when All-Star was on that screen print
And haystack wasn't just bein' hauled with a ball hitch
Ayy, yo, I know this place ain't gold
But it's famous for makin' people famous
So it will seem dangerous when you see it
Motherfucker, how can you blame us?
[Chorus: Upchurch]
When rollin' through my city I see changes
I see tourists pissin' on the street in front of ladies
I see locals bumpin' shoulders with em', and they dangerous
They don't know the vibe behind these new skyscrapers but
How can you blame us, yeah?
How can you blame us, yeah?
How can you blame us, yeah?
How can you blame us, how can you blame us?
Yeah
