Renee

Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die
Hey man, I never been in love
I reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday
I reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday

We're sittin' on the couch chattin'
Besides the fingernails now shorty got the hairdo of pain
A ghetto love is the law that we live by
A ghetto love is the law that we live by
Not even thinkin' of the po nine I'm doin' a buck, who gives a fuck
Give it up for my shorty, shorty
She had a tattoo she only wanted Bo to see

Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die
I gotta see what's goin' on and by the time I reach the hospital
A t-shirt, a yo, Fam I got a tender-roni girl

I'm smokin' boom and the whole nine
I reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday
We're smokin' blunts off the balcony, we're stearin' at Manhattan now
She came back with stretch pants and a ponytail
It said "Cheeks, I'll be home around two
She told me what she was in school for
I'm like whatever shorty rock we can swing it like that
Give it up for my shorty, shorty
A ghetto love is the law that we live by

She started feelin' on my chest, I started feelin' on the breasts
I said "I got a whole lot to say, so may I walk you to your subway"

Candlelight dinner with my shorty, crack a 40 with my naughty freaks

She said Renee has been shot so Cheeks, meet me up at St. Lukes
Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die

I reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday
Give it up for my shorty, shorty
She wants to be a lawyer in other words shorty studies law
But yet I use Philly Blunts, she said "I never dealt with Philly Blunts
You was deep in your sleep so I didn't want to bother you"

I had to see where that head was at 'cause the gear was mad phat

They tell me "Mr. Cheeks, Renee is gone"
She had grub for the dog so we hit the store
A ghetto love is the law that we live by
She drops a packet of the EZ widers
Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die
Went to the crib and turned the lights on
And there's no need for me to stress the rest
Because I heard that's for silly stunts"
I'm from the ghetto so listen this is how I shed my tears

I said, "Nah, they burn slower, right now I really don't know ya
I'm pourin' beer out for my shorty who ain't here
A mad magazine stand from Essence to Right On

Got off the train about 6:34 she wasn't sure
A leather couch, stero system with crazy CD's
And a chain that her moms gave her
She said "Cheeks do what you want", she said "I'm gonna feed the dog"
A ghetto love is the law that we live by
I reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday
Give it up for my shorty, shorty
Got dressed, smoked the blunt and then I bounced towards the elevator
Give it up for my shorty, shorty
I'm askin' shorty, "What's up with you?"
I tap her on her shoulders, "Excuse me miss, but can I get your name?"
I'm hangin' out with my crew I get a beep from Renee

And now we been together for weeks
So now we sittin' on the train
Covers her mouth with her name ring
A ghetto love is the law that we live by

I'm tellin' shorty I'm a writer and as she's lookin' for the token
I reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday
Give it up for my shorty, shorty
But maybe later on I can get to show ya"
A ghetto love is the law that we live by
I said "Alright, well I'm gonna roll this blunt"
Understand 'cause she got G'z
Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die

Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die

But first dim the lights and turn up the Jodeci
Give it up for my shorty, shorty
A tough leather jacket, with some jeans
Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die
I reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday
She's askin', what's up with me

But everytime I'm burstin' in and outta state it's shorty that I'm thinkin' of
I'm peepin' shorty as she's walkin' to the train
I woke up the next day on the waterbed
I left my number for shorty to call me later,
Now understand she got flava
A ghetto love is the law that we live by
'Cause on the real this is where it's at

But yet I'm chattin' with her mom dukes
I brought two franks and two drinks and we began walkin'
A letter's on the pillow and this what the letter said
We sparked a blunt before we ate, and a blunt after we ate dinner
I reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday
So we must chat about this and that
Because Renee uses code too
I said, yo don't sweat the technique shorty rocks I do the same thing
A yo, I got myself a winner
She said "My name is Renee"

I jumps on the Van Wyck, I gotta make it there quick

A yo, this shit is gettin' mad thick
I got a beep around three
Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die
She said "If you want", so yo' we started talkin'
