Melinda Told Me lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, n*gga

[Chorus]
Chrome Heart crosses, that's the only thing religious
Hand on the gun 'cause everything look suspicious
Melinda used to tell me "A hard head make a soft ass"
Button on the back'll turn them n*ggas into strong gas
I'm ridin by myself, rain hittin' the window, I'm just thinking
Me dolo, ride with the .40, I'm just drinking
I had a long convo with momma, it's starting to sink in
She at home praying I make it to see the weekend

[Verse]
I remember being scared to say I had detention
Now when you go to work I'm cooking work in your kitchen
I got strangers in and out, they bringing change in big amounts
She used to tell me 'bout my friends, like "Boy, don't bring them n*ggas 'round"
I ain't pay her no mind, you know me, I know it all
Watch me run that bag up with my n*ggas and blow it all
I wish I woulda listened now, 'cause I tell you it hurt to fall
Them same n*ggas that I blew the bag with watched me crawl

[Intermission]
You know, it's like-
I ain't-
It ain't like- (It's alright momma)
You know, it ain't like I don't know like-
You don't know what you talkin 'bout or nothing (Swallow my pride)
But you know, I'm a man (Thats right momma)
You know, I just see for myself
[Chorus]
Chrome Heart crosses, that's the only thing religious
Hand on the gun 'cause everything look suspicious
Melinda used to tell me "A hard head make a soft ass"
Button on the back'll turn them n*ggas into strong gas
I'm ridin by myself, rain hittin' the window, I'm just thinking
Me dolo, ride with the .40, I'm just drinking
I had a long convo with momma, it's starting to sink in
She at home praying I make it to see the weekend

[Verse]
You bought me white 1s, said that's the best you could do
I could tell you now, I'm sorry for all the stress you went through
Following brodie, I can't leave him, mom, you know I got his back
We ain't talk in a month, but as soon as I get locked I hit your jack
You tell me bow my head and pray
Your voice just take my frown away
I come from dark and rainy days
You told me it's gon' be okay
I shoulda listenened when you told me about them n*ggas
Seemin' snake
I was in prison on a visit, smile soon as I see your face

[Break]
I could buy you anything in the world
And that still wouldn't be enough to say thank you, you know
I had to die a thousand times, you know, to repay (Thank you mommy, I love you mommy)
I love you
[Chorus]
Chrome Heart crosses, that's the only thing religious
Hand on the gun 'cause everything look suspicious
Melinda used to tell me "A hard head make a soft ass"
Button on the back'll turn them n*ggas into strong gas
I'm ridin by myself, rain hittin' the window, I'm just thinking
Me dolo, ride with the .40, I'm just drinking
I had a long convo with momma, it's starting to sink in
She at home praying I make it to see the weekend
