Yeah
Yeah yeah
This is a story
A modern day ghetto tragedy
About the other side of the game
Shit backfired
Feel me?
Sometimes thatand's just the way it happens
So listen closely
Might learn somethinand'
Check it out
Iand'm just sittinand' smokinand' weed and lookinand' 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 and melinda
On the roof, throwinand' gang signs
The kind of homie that you donand'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 and 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
Donand't remember doinand' 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) iand'll always...
Remember melinda
She always had a lot of drama
Watchinand' daddy drunk, beatinand' on momma
She used to stuff grams in her bra for my nigga rob
Twistinand' 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
Itand's my fault
I introduced her to the game - found out she couldnand't hang
And itand's ashame - that i remember (remember)
When she started actinand' crazily
Was the first day she brought a little yay to me (to me)
Letand's get some yak because you made now
The first late - is and'bout to get paid now
(but wait) you gotta tell me, what the deal?
Why ainand't ya happy?
Thereand's somethin wrong and thatand's real
An open package
And thatand's when i finally realized
Melinda gettinand' high off of my supply
(repeat 1)
And no, iand'll never forget that night
Her nose started bleeding, her eyes turned white
And i canand't get it outta my mind
Iand'm tellinand' you i still remember, yes i remember
12:30 on the dot, here come the doc
The news he bringinand' me, iand'm shocked
Another victim
I done made myself a killinand'
All for the love of drug dealinand'
(repeat 1 - 3x)
Remember melinda
Iand'm sorry melinda
