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 walkin' 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 talkin'   I brought two franks and two drinks and we began walkin'      I had to see where that head was at 'cause 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 tellin' shorty I'm a writer and as she's lookin' for the token   She drops a packet of the EZ widers   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 ya"      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, 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, shorty      So now we sittin' on the 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 mad magazine stand from Essence to Right On      A leather couch, stero system with crazy CD's   Understand 'cause she got G'z   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 stretch pants and a ponytail   A t-shirt, a yo, Fam I got a tender-roni girl   We're sittin' on the couch chattin'   We're smokin' blunts off the balcony, we're stearin' at Manhattan now      She started feelin' on my chest, I started feelin' 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 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      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, 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, 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 the blunt and then I bounced towards the elevator   I got a beep around three   I'm askin' shorty, "What's up with you?"   She's askin', what's up with me      And now we been together for weeks   Candlelight dinner with my shorty, crack a 40 with my naughty freaks   Hey man, I never been in love   But everytime I'm burstin' in and outta state it's shorty that I'm thinkin' of      I'm hangin' out with my crew I get a beep from Renee   Because Renee uses code too   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 thinkin' of the po nine I'm doin' a buck, who gives a fuck   I'm smokin' boom and the whole nine      I gotta see what's goin' on and by the time I reach the hospital   They tell me "Mr. Cheeks, Renee is gone"   I'm pourin' beer out for my shorty who ain't here   I'm from the ghetto so listen this is how I shed my tears      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, 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, 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, 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, shorty
