Yeah
|
Yeah yeah
|
This is a story
|
A modern day ghetto tragedy
|
About the other side of the game
|
Shit backfired
|
Feel me?
|
Sometimes that's just the way it happens
|
So listen closely
|
Might learn somethin'
|
Check it out
|
|
I'm just sittin' smokin' weed and lookin' at some old pictures
|
From moms house of when I was a young boy
|
When I was a young boy (yeah)
|
And the first one that I see is of me & Melinda
|
on the roof, throwin' gang signs
|
The kind of homie that you don't find
|
But she always kept things on her mind
|
|
She never was my baby
|
We had a crush when we was younger
|
We used to hump & that was it - no bullshit
|
She was 11, I was 10
|
But she meant more to me than any woman since
|
|
1 - Remember Melinda
|
I used to stay across the street from her
|
She coulda been a supermodel
|
Don't remember doin' shit without her
|
I often think about her
|
Remember Melinda
|
Never really found her way home
|
But I loved her like my sister
|
Dear Lord I really miss her
|
Long as I live (one wish) I'll always...
|
Remember Melinda
|
|
She always had a lot of drama
|
Watchin' daddy drunk, beatin' on momma
|
She used to stuff grams in her bra for my nigga Rob
|
Twistin' niggas was her job - Married to the mob
|
I used to take her on runs wit me
|
She sit in my passenger seat and count the funds wit me
|
It's my fault
|
I introduced her to the game - found out she couldn't hang
|
And it's ashame - that I remember (Remember)
|
When she started actin' crazily
|
Was the first day she brought a little yay to me (to me)
|
Let's get some yak because you made now
|
The first late - is 'bout to get paid now
|
(But wait) You gotta tell me, what the deal?
|
Why ain't ya happy?
|
There's somethin wrong & that's real
|
An open package
|
And that's when I finally realized
|
Melinda gettin' high off of my supply
|
|
(Repeat 1)
|
|
And no, I'll never forget that night
|
Her nose started bleeding, her eyes turned white
|
And I can't get it outta my mind
|
I'm tellin' you I still remember, yes I remember
|
12:30 on the dot, here come the doc
|
The news he bringin' me, I'm shocked
|
Another victim
|
I done made myself a killin'
|
All for the love of drug dealin'
|
|
(Repeat 1 - 3X)
|
|
Remember Melinda
|
I'm sorry Melinda
|
