The Show
C-Murder/Master P/Silkk The Shocker Lyrics

Yeah check this shit out. This is for all my real tank dogs
Introduction to the song, dedicated to C-Murder's loyal fans

My No Limit soldiers out there buying my shit
Acknowledging and thanking his fans for supporting his music

Ya know this is for you you hear me?
Assuring his fans that this song is dedicated to them

Show me love
Asking for respect, support and appreciation from everyone

When you see me on the TV show me love
Asking for love and recognition when appearing on TV

On the video
Asking for love and recognition when appearing on a music video

I got a tank around my chest representing my home
Wearing a 'tank' necklace to represent his home and show pride in his roots

I'm asking all the haters to leave me alone
Requesting for negative people to stay away and let him do his thing

And uh much love to the calliope
Showing love and respect to the Calliope housing projects in New Orleans

I'm at the Soul Train awards representing my court
Attending the Soul Train Awards to represent his neighborhood

I did a show up in Texas with facing the boys
Performing in Texas with his fellow TRU members, the Hot Boys

South park, fifth ward, nigga bringing the noise
Bringing energy and excitement to the crowd in South park and fifth ward neighborhoods in Houston

Front row, nigga tatooed with TRU on his arm
A TRU fan with a tattoo showing support and respect

That's props, that's why I put it in this song
Acknowledging the fan's devotion and respect by including them in the song

Went to Cleveland for a three day tour
Performing for three days in Cleveland on a tour

At the party at the tele couldn't take no more
Enjoying a party while in Cleveland and having a good time

My autograph sessions at the main event
Signing autographs for fans at a main event

Thanking all my friends for the money they spent
Showing gratitude to his friends who supported him during his career

At the radio they loving my beats
Receiving love and respect from the DJ's on the radio

Ninety-three while we be mean green streats
Making mean streets green with success in 1993

And my success goes to the man above
Giving credit to God for his success

But uh, I'd like to thank my fans for showing me love
Thanking his fans for their love and support throughout his career

When I was underground everybody down
Recalling when he was an underground artist and everyone supported him

Everybody show me love, cause I share common ground
Being shown love because of a shared lifestyle and struggles

With those niggas that was broke they laughed and joked
Bonding with other people because of a shared financial struggle

Them niggas was broke too but I'm a rapper so they think I'm not supposed to
People didn't expect him to be broke as well because of his success as a rapper

But they still on my team cause I got fame
Being supported because of his fame in the music industry

And everywhere I go people be yappin my name
Being recognized and popular everywhere he goes

Yeah I know Mac, we go back, me and that nigga tight
Being close friends with rapper Mac for a long time

As a matter of fact he slept at my house the other night
Sharing a close bond with Mac and having him stay at his house

It's cool I let a lot of shit go cause I'm ambitious
Letting go of negative things because of a strong drive and determination to succeed

When I'm fed up, nigga, I'm vicious
Being aggressive and not holding back when pushed to a certain point

Hard to stay focused around these motherfucking locusts
Dealing with difficult and draining people in the music business

And not to mention all the cochroaches
TalentiLooking up to and being inspired by successful people in the music industry.

Crab ass niggas hate to see you lead a barrel
People who are jealous and envious of his success

Signed me a contract and got me a Camaro
Getting signed to a label and buying a nice car

And now they acting like I did them wrong by progressing
People being upset that he moved on and became more successful

I'm guessing that they wanted me to stay up in sections with little pocket money
Others wishing he was stuck in poverty with them

To get a nigga who was going my way
People trying to hold him back and prevent his success

y'all niggas don't know, I got so much shit I won't say
Keeping secrets and not sharing all the things he's been through

I'm damn near breaking in tears as I'm speaking these words
Feeling strong emotions and almost crying while discussing his struggles and success

This same motherfucker from the third, show me love nigga
Asking for love and respect despite coming from a difficult situation and neighborhood

It's four in the morning, mamma got tears in her face
Describing a sad and emotional moment with his mother

Love from my tombstone try to relocate
Trying to move on and progress from his past while receiving love and support from those who have passed away

But in my tank lord I got faith
Having faith and trust in his 'tank' neighborhood and upbringing

Five hundred dollars or so for my block
Giving back to his community with a small cash donation

Lord knows I couldn't stop
Being unable to stop giving back and supporting his community

That's a long way from bad credit cards and selling rocks
Reflecting on his past financial situation and drug dealing days

For the love I've got and in return I'm putting it down
Being driven by love and positive energy, and giving it back through his music

Chi town, on my gd's, on six and thirty hos
Acknowledging and showing love to Chicago while representing his gang, the Gangster Disciples

And my vl's on the westside
Showing love to his other gang, the Vice Lords and representing the westside of his city

I ride with jack time ballers
Riding with successful and influential people in the music industry

Drink alazay (?) and hennessee with Jakeville shot callers
Drinking expensive alcohol with successful people from a neighborhood in New Orleans

I'm gettin love from niggas on Breakstreet
Receiving love and respect from people in the Breakstreet neighborhood

And Watts, and Cappanella park and LA
Being respected and loved by many people in different neighborhoods and cities

The thirties in the Bay, brown love for my esses
Being respected and loved by people in their thirties in a San Francisco Bay neighborhood, and showing love to his fellow Latino gang members ('esses')

That's a long damn way from the parkway
Reflecting and realizing how far he's come from his past and difficult neighborhoods

So when I'm home, see a nigga drop a nigga from above
Being tough and respected in his neighborhood, and being willing to protect it if necessary

(Cmon, cmon) Show me love
Encouraging others to show him love and respect

To all my niggas on the westside
Showing love to his friends and supporters on the westside

To all my niggas on the eastside
Showing love to his friends and supporters on the eastside

To all my niggas on the northside
Showing love to his friends and supporters on the northside

To all my niggas on the southside
Showing love to his friends and supporters on the southside

To all my bangers on the westside
Showing love to his fellow gang members and supporters on the westside

To all my bangers on the eastside
Showing love to his fellow gang members and supporters on the eastside

To all my bangers on the northside
Showing love to his fellow gang members and supporters on the northside
