renee

now here's a tune about this shawty 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

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

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

stereo 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. 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
