Renee Lyrics By Lost Boyz

    here’s a tune about this honey named renee that i met one day
    on my way back from john jay
    i’m peeping 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 bought two franks and two drinks and we began walking
    i had to see where that head was at cause her gear was mad fat
    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 wider
    covers her mouth with her name ring
    i said yo don’t sweat the technique shorty rocks 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 you

    hook
    a ghetto love is the law that we live by
    day by day i wonder why my shorty had to die
    i reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday
    give it up for my shorty
    a ghetto love is the law that we live by
    day by day i wonder why my shorty had to die
    i reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday
    give it up for my shorty

    so now we sitting on the train
    besides her 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 64
    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 mad magazine stand
    from essence to right on
    a leather couch stereo system with crazy cds
    understand kid she got g’s
    she said cheeks do what you want
    she said i’m gonna feed the dog
    i said alright well i’ma roll this blunt
    she came back with stretch pants and a ponytail a tshirt
    a yo fam i got a tenderroni girl
    we’re sitting on the couch chatting
    we’re smoking blunts off the balcony
    we’re staring at manhattan now
    she started feeling on my chest
    i started feeling on the 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 go 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

    hook
    a ghetto love is the law that we live by
    day by day i wonder why my shorty had to die
    i reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday
    give it up for my shorty
    a ghetto love is the law that we live by
    day by day i wonder why my shorty had to die
    i reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday
    give it up for my shorty

    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 my number for shorty to call me later
    got dressed smoked a blunt and then i bounced towards 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 forty with my naughty freaks
    hey man i never been in love
    but every time 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 says renee has been shot so cheeks meet me up at st luke’s
    i jumps on the van wyck i gotta make it there quick
    ay yo this shit is gettin’ mad thick
    not even thinking about the ponine
    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

    hook
    a ghetto love is the law that we live by
    day by day i wonder why my shorty had to die
    i reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday
    give it up for my shorty
    a ghetto love is the law that we live by
    day by day i wonder why my shorty had to die
    i reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday
    give it up for my shorty
    a ghetto love is the law that we live by
    day by day i wonder why my shorty had to die
    i reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday
    give it up for my shorty
    a ghetto love is the law that we live by
    day by day i wonder why my shorty had to die
    i reminisce over my ghetto princess everyday
    give it up for my shorty
