| 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
|
| 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'
|
| Remember Melinda
|
| I’m sorry Melinda |
