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
