Yeah Yeah yeah This is a story A modern day ghetto tragedy About the other side of the game sh** 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 bullsh** 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' sh** 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 n***a Rob Twistin' n***as was her job - Married to the mob I used to take her on runs wit me She sit in my pa**enger 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 k**in' All for the love of drug dealin' (Repeat 1 - 3X) Remember Melinda I'm sorry Melinda
