I pray to the Lord that you do the same for all of my friends I don't ever wanna say this prayer again Gotta see a million and I'm through with this And all I'm gonna need is just one more lick

Yeah, yeah, yeah This is a story, a modern day ghetto tragedy About the other side of the gang This shit backfired, you feel me? This time it's just the way it happened So listen closely, you might learn something Check it out
I'm just sittin', smokin' weed and looking at some old pictures From mom's house of when I was a young boy (When I was a young boy) And the first one that I see is of me and 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 were younger We used to hump and that was it No bullshit, she was eleven, I was ten But she meant more to me than any woman since
[Chorus:] Remember Melinda I used to stay across the street from her She could have been a supermodel Don't remember doing shit without her I often think about her Remember Melinda Never really found her way home I loved her like my sister Dear Lord I really miss her, one wish Long as I live, I'll always remember Melinda
She always had a lot of drama Watchin' daddy drunk, beating on mama 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 with me She'd sit in the passenger seat and count the funds for me It's my fault, I introduced her to the game To find out she couldn't hang, and it's a shame That I remember when she started actin' crazily Was first day she brought my yay to me Let's get some yack because you made me now The first lick is about to get paid now But wait up, what's the deal why ain't you happy Something's wrong and that's real an open package That's when I finally realize Melinda getting high off of my supply!
[Chorus]
And no I'll never forget the night Her nose started bleeding, her eyes turned white And I can't get it out of my mind I'm telling you I still remember, yes I remember 12:30 on the dot here come the doc The news he's bringing me, I'm shocked Another victim, and I done made my self a killing All for the love of drug dealing
Yeah uh mm give it to me Mmmmm yeah Yeah yeah Mm no no no no
Seems like every night right before I go to sleep I say a little prayer to the Lord that he keep me I used to be the kind of nigga that didn't give a fuck about nobody The slightest little thing would make me mad Especially if it involved my money
And I can't tell you 'bout the next man But I love pullin' up in big sedans Wit all my niggas in a caravan Holla if ya hear me
Now I'd love to break ya, bring ya down And take you back again But that would take too much time And I gotta hit the streets again
1 - And even if the sun don't shine, I'll still be hustlin' Gotta get that money, make that money Keep it comin', if it takes all night, can't be strugglin' Somebody come help me Can ya tell me why is slangin' always on my mind? Must be buggin' I guess they figured I would quit and they could get me If they tapped my line Don't mean nothin' I'll still be hustlin'
Now I hate to be the one to tell ya, but I don't mind Niggas can hate if they want to And I'm still gon' get mine Yes, I still be ridin' in a SC on dubs And I won't be seen at none of the clubs And uh, all your women would know who I was (And that you wouldn't like) And that you wouldn't like
