Verse One:
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 walking 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 your subway
She said if you
want
So yo, we started
talking
I brought two
franks and two drinks
And we began
walking
I had to see
where that head was at
Because the gear
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 the token
She drops a package
of the EZ Rider
Covers her mouth
with her name ring
I said, yo don't
sweat the technique shorty rock
I do the same
thing
But yet I use
Philly Blunts
She said I never
dealt 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 ya
Chorus:
A ghetto love
is the law that we live by
Day by day I
wonder why my shorty had to die
I reminice over
my ghetto princess everyday
Give it up for
my shorty(x2)
Verse Two:
Now we sittin'
on train
Besides the fingernails
Now 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
Stero system
with crazy cd's
Understand kid
She got cheese
She said cheeks
do what you want
She said I'm
gonna feed the dog
I said alright
well I'm gonna roll this blunt
She came back
with strech pants and a ponytail, a t-shirt
A yo, Fam I got
a tender-roni girl
We're sitting
on the couch chattin
We're smoking
blunts on her balcony
We're stearing
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
A yo, I got myself
a winner
We sparked a
blunt before we ate
And a blunt after
we ate dinner
She had a tattoo
she only wanted Bo 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 (2X)
Verse Three:
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 a number
for shorty to call me later
Got dressed
Smoked a blunt
Then I bounced
to 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
And now we been
together for weeks
Candlelight dinner
with my shorty
Crack a 40 with
my naughty freaks
A man, I never
been in love
But everytime
I'm burstin' in and outta 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 two
But yet I'm chattin'
with her mom dukes
She said Renee
has been shot
So cheeks, meet
me up at St. Lukes
I jumps on the
Van Wyck
I gotta make
it there quick
A yo , this shit
is gettin' mad thick
Not even thinking
about the po nine
I'm doing a buck
Who gives a fuck
I'm smokin' boom
and the whole nine
I gotta see what's
going on
But by the time
I reach the hospital
They tell me
Mr. Cheeks
Renee is gone
I'm pouring beer
out for my shorty who ain't here
I'm from the
ghetto
So listen
This is how I
shed my tears
Chorus (2X)
