Renee

This here is dedicated to all my ghetto men and all my lady friends
To everybody that lost someone that was very special to them
Check this out, this is about my queen, her name was Renee
We call this one the ghetto fairy tale, check it
1 - Funny how love dies when we've just begun
A ghetto love is the law that we live by
Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die
Funny how love dies when we've just begun
I reminisce over my ghetto princess every day
Renee
Here's a tune about this honey named Renee
That I met one day, on my way back from John J.
I'm peeping Shorty as she's walking to the train
I tap her on the shoulders
Excuse me miss but can I get your name
She said my name is Renee
I said I got a whole lot to say
So may I walk you to the subway
She said if you want so yo we started talking
I bought two franks and two drinks and we began walking
I had to see where her head was at
Cuz like it was mad phat
So we must chat about this and that
She told me what she was in school for
She wants to be a lawyer, in other words Shorty studies law
I'm telling Shorty I'm a writer
And as she's looking for a token she drops a package of the e-z wider
Covers her mouth with a name ring
I said Yo don't sweat the technique, Shorty Ra
I do the same thing but yet I use Philly blunts
She said I never **** Philly blunts because I heard that's for silly stunts
I said nah, they burn slower
Right now I really don't know ya
But maybe later on I can get to show ya
Repeat 1
So now we sitting on the train
Besides her fingernail Shorty got the hairdo of pain
Now understand she got flava
A tough leather jacket with some jeans and the chain that her moms gave her
Got off the train about 6:34
She wasn't sure she had grub for the dog so we hit the store
Went to the crib and turned the lights on
A crazy magazine stand, from Essence to Right on
A leather couch a stereo system with crazy CD's
Understand kids she got cheese
She said Cheeks do what you want
She said I'm gonna feed the dog
I said eiiiiight well I'm a roll this ********
She came back with stretch pants and a pony tail a T-shirt
Hey yo ta, I got a tender Roni girl
We're sitting on the couch chatting
We're smoking **** off the balcony
We staring at Manhattan
She started feeling on my chest
I started feeling on her breasts
And there's no need for me to stress the rest
Hey yo I got myself a winner
We smoked up ***** before we ate
And the ***** after we ate dinner
She had a tatoo she only want to go to see
But first dim the lights and turn up the Jodeci
I'm like whatever Shorty Ra
We could swing it like that
Cuz on the real this is where its at
Repeat 1
I woke up the next day on the water bed
Her letter's on the pillow and this is what the letter said
It said Cheeks I be home around 2
You was deep in your sleep so I didn't wanna bother you
I left my number for Shorty to call me later
Got dressed, smoked up, and then I bounced towards the elevator
I got the beep around 3
I'm asking Shorty what's up with you
She's asking what's up with me
Hey yo we been together for weeks
Candle light dinner with my Shorty crack a 40 with my naughty freaks
Hey man I never been in love
But every time I'm bussing in and out of state, it's Shorty that I'm thinking of
I'm hanging out with my crew
I get a beep from Renee
Because Renee uses code 2
But yet I'm chatting with her ma on deuce
She says Renee's been shot
So Cheeks meet me up at St. Luke's
I jump on the Van Wyck
I got to make it there quick
Hey yo this ***** is getting mad thick
Not even thinking of the bone I'm doing the puff
Who gives a *****
I'm smoking boom and the whole nine
I gotta see what's going on
And by the time I reached the hospital
They told me Mr. Cheeks Renee's gone
I pour beer, I pour my Shorty who ain't here
I'm from the ghetto so yo, this is how I shed my tears
Repeat 1
