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
