Renee

Lyrics

[Intro] This here is dedicated to all my ghetto men and all my lady friends To everybody that lost somebody that was very special to them Check this out, this about my queen Her name was Renee And we call this one a ghetto fairytale Check it [Chorus] Funny how love dies when we 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 just begun I reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday Renee (Check it) [Verse 1] Here's a tune about this honey named Renee that I met one day On my way back from John Jay I'm peepin' shorty as she's walkin' to the train I tap her on her 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 talkin' I bought two franks and two drinks and we began walkin' I had to see where her head was at 'cause her gear was mad fat 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 tellin' shorty I'm a writer And as she's lookin' for the token, she drops a package of the EZ Wider Covers her mouth with her name ring I said, yo, don't sweat the technique, shorty rocks, I do the same thing But yet I use Philly blunts She said, "I never **** with 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 you" [Chorus] Funny how love dies when we 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 just begun I reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday Yo [Verse 2] So now we sittin' on the train Besides her fingernails, shorty got the hairdo of pain Now understand she got flava A tough leather jacket with some jeans and a 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, stereo system with crazy CD's Understand, kid, she got G's She said, "Cheeks, do what you want" She said, "I'm gonna feed the dog" I said, "Alright, well, I'ma roll this ****" She came back with stretch pants and a ponytail, a t-shirt Ayo, top, I got a tender-roni girl We're sittin' on the couch chattin' We're smokin' **** off the balcony We're staring at Manhattan She started feelin' on my chest I started feelin' on her breasts And there's no need for me to stress the rest Ayo, I got myself a winner We sparked a **** before we ate and a **** after we ate dinner She had a tattoo she only wanted go to see But first, dim the lights and turn up the Jodeci I'm like whatever, shorty rock, we can swing it like that 'Cause on the real, this is where it's at [Chorus] Funny how love dies when we 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 just begun I reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday [Verse 3] I woke up the next day on the waterbed A letter's on the pillow and this what the letter said It said, "Cheeks, I'll be home around two You was deep in your sleep so I didn't want to bother you" I left my number for shorty to call me later Got dressed, smoked a blunt, and then I bounced towards the elevator I got a beep around three I'm asking shorty what's up with you, she's asking what's up with me Ayo, we been together for weeks Candlelight dinner with my shorty, crack a forty with my naughty freaks Hey man, I never been in love But every time I'm burstin' in and outta state, it's Shorty that I'm thinkin' of I'm hangin' out with my crew I get a beep from Renee because Renee uses Code Two But yet, I'm chattin' with her mom dukes She says "Renee has been shot, so Cheeks, meet me up at St. Luke's" I jump on the Van Wyck, I gotta make it there quick Ayo, this **** is gettin' mad thick Not even thinkin' about the po-nine I'm doin' a buck, who gives a ****, I'm smokin' boom and the whole nine I gotta see what's going on And by the time I reach the hospital, they tell me "Mr. Cheeks, Renee is gone" I pour beer out for my Shorty who ain't here I'm from the ghetto, so yo, this is how I shed my tears [Chorus] Funny how love dies when we 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 just begun I reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday Funny how love dies when we 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 just begun I reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday
