Yeah, yeah, yeah 
This is a story 
A modern day ghetto tragedy 
About the other side of the game 
Shit backfired 
Feel me? 
Sometimes that's just the way it happens 
So listen closely 
Might learn somethin' 
Check it out 

I'm just sittin', smokin' weed and lookin' at some old pictures 
From moms house, of when I was a young boy 
When I was a young boy (yeah) 
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 was younger 
We used to hump and that was it, no bullshit 
She was 11, I was 10 
But she meant more to me than any woman since 

Remember Melinda 
I used to stay across the street from her 
She coulda been a supermodel (ooh, yeah, yeah)
Don't remember doin' shit without her 
I often think about her (I often think about her)
Remember Melinda 
Never really found her way home 
But I loved her like my sister (I loved her like my sister)
Dear Lord, I really miss her 
Long as I live (one wish) I'll always... 
Remember Melinda 

She always had a lot of drama 
Watchin' daddy drunk, beatin' on momma (oh, no)
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 wit me 
She sit in my passenger seat and count the funds wit me 
It's my fault 
I introduced her to the game, found out she couldn't hang 
And it's ashame, that I remember (remember) 
When she started actin' crazily 
Was the first day she brought a little yay to me (to me) 
Let's get some yak because you made now 
The first late is 'bout to get paid now 
(But wait) you gotta tell me, what the deal? 
Why ain't ya happy? 
There's somethin wrong & that's real 
An open package 
And that's when I finally realized 
Melinda gettin' high off of my supply 

Remember Melinda 
I used to stay across the street from her 
She coulda been a supermodel (ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't remember doin' shit without her 
I often think about her (I often think about her)
Remember Melinda 
Never really found her way home 
But I loved her like my sister (like my sister)
Dear Lord, I really miss her 
Long as I live (one wish) I'll always... 
Remember Melinda 

And no, I'll never forget that night (oh, no)
Her nose started bleeding, her eyes turned white 
(And Melinda)
And I can't get it outta my mind 
I'm tellin' you I still remember, yes, I remember 
(Yes, I remember)
12:30 on the dot, here come the doc (ooh, yeah, yeah)
The news he bringin' me, I'm shocked 
Another victim 
I done made myself a killin' 
All for the love of drug dealin' 
(All for the love, all for the love)
