Renee

[00:21.29] Here's a tune about this honey named Renee
[00:23.57] That I met one day
[00:24.55] On my way back from John Jay
[00:26.58] I'm peepin' shorty as she's walking to the train
[00:28.64] I tap her on her shoulders
[00:29.62] Excuse me Miss, but can I get your name
[00:31.62] She said my name is Renee
[00:33.08] I said I got a whole lot to say
[00:34.97] So may I walk you to your subway
[00:37.04] She said if you want
[00:38.06] So yo, we started talking
[00:39.15] I brought two franks and two drinks
[00:41.24] And we began walking
[00:42.20] I had to see where that head was at
[00:44.06] Because the gear was mad phat
[00:45.81] So we must chat about this and that
[00:47.47] She told me what she was in school for
[00:49.43] She wants to be a lawyer
[00:50.88] In other words shorty studies law
[00:52.61] I'm telling shorty I'm a writer
[00:54.44] And as she's looking for the token
[00:55.92] She drops a pack of the EZ-widers
[00:57.81] Covers her mouth with her name ring
[00:59.66] I said, yo don't sweat the technique shorty rocks
[01:01.66] I do the same thing
[01:03.35] But yet I use Philly Blunts
[01:04.61] She said I never dealt with Philly Blunts
[01:06.47] Because I heard that's for silly stunts
[01:08.02] I said, nah they burn slower
[01:09.90] Right now I really don't know ya
[01:11.34] But maybe later on I can get to show ya
[01:13.52] A ghetto love is the law that we live by
[01:16.08] Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die
[01:18.80] I reminice over my ghetto princess everyday
[01:21.30] Give it up for my shorty, shorty
[01:24.11] A ghetto love is the law that we live by
[01:26.43] Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die
[01:28.93] I reminice over my ghetto princess everyday
[01:31.81] Give it up for my shorty, shorty
[01:34.29] So now we sittin' on the train
[01:36.46] Besides the fingernails
[01:37.46] Now shorty got the hairdo of pain
[01:39.84] Now I understand she got flava
[01:41.31] A tough leather jacket, with some jeans and a chain that her moms gave her
[01:44.77] Got off the train about six: thirtyfour
[01:46.81] She wasn't sure she had grub for the dog so we hit the store
[01:49.52] Went to the crib
[01:51.14] And turned the lights on
[01:52.14] A mad magazine stand
[01:53.41] From Essence to Right On
[01:55.25] A leather couch
[01:56.08] Stero system with crazy cd's
[01:58.63] Understand 'cause she got G'z
[02:00.46] She said cheeks do what you want
[02:02.15] She said I'm gonna feed the dog
[02:03.89] I said alright well I'm gonna roll this blunt
[02:05.82] She came back with stretch pants and a ponytail, a t-shirt
[02:08.56] A yo, Fam I got a tender-roni girl
[02:10.78] We're sitting on the couch chattin
[02:13.26] We're smoking blunts off the balcony
[02:14.96] We're stearing at Manhattan now
[02:16.11] She started feeling on my chest
[02:17.68] I started feeling on the breasts
[02:19.53] And there's no need for me to stress the rest
[02:21.50] A yo, I got myself a winner
[02:23.17] We sparked a blunt before we ate
[02:24.66] And a blunt after we ate dinner
[02:26.63] She had a tattoo she only wanted Bo to see
[02:28.40] But first dim the lights and turn up the Jodeci
[02:31.45] I'm like whatever shorty rock
[02:33.31] We can swing it like that
[02:35.37] 'Cause on the real this is where it's at
[02:37.62] A ghetto love is the law that we live by
[02:39.46] Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die
[02:42.28] I reminice over my ghetto princess everyday
[02:45.30] Give it up for my shorty, shorty
[02:47.97] A ghetto love is the law that we live by
[02:50.01] Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die
[02:52.53] I reminice over my ghetto princess everyday
[02:55.31] Give it up for my shorty, shorty
[02:57.71] I woke up the next day on the waterbed
[03:00.29] A letter's on the pillow eh
[03:01.81] And this what the letter said
[03:03.05] It said cheeks, I'll be home around two
[03:05.15] You was deep in your sleep
[03:06.45] So I didn't want to bother you
[03:08.15] I left my number for shorty to call me later
[03:10.38] Got dressed
[03:10.92] Smoked a blunt
[03:11.62] And then I bounced towards the elevator
[03:13.63] I got a beep around three
[03:15.18] I'm asking shorty what's up with you
[03:17.03] She's asking what's up with me
[03:18.70] And now we been together for weeks
[03:20.52] Candlelight dinner with my shorty
[03:22.03] Crack a 40 with my naughty freaks
[03:23.88] Hey man, I never been in love
[03:25.57] But everytime I'm burstin' in and outta state
[03:27.45] It's shorty that I'm thinking of
[03:28.89] I'm hanging out with my crew
[03:30.73] I get a beep from Renee
[03:32.37] Because Renee uses code too
[03:34.16] But yet I'm chattin' with her mom dukes
[03:36.05] She said Renee has been shot
[03:37.43] So cheeks, meet me up at St. Lukes
[03:39.55] I jumps on the Van Wyck
[03:41.04] I gotta make it there quick

[03:47.71] I'm smokin' boom and the whole nine
[03:49.98] I gotta see what's going on
[03:51.95] But by the time I reach the hospital
[03:53.31] They tell me Mr. Cheeks
[03:54.33] Renee is gone
[03:55.41] I'm pouring beer out for my shorty who ain't here

[03:58.69] So listen
