what ever happened to bobby ray
he used to be here for us,
then he got famous and left all of his fans in dust
we never hear from you, you’re constantly changing
and your relatives always miss you
a family occasions and your mother misses you too
since all the fortune you been, too busy recording
now she feels unimportant and your daddy been going through it
since he lost is mother the least you could do is call him and show him
you support him
i never thought you would sell out, people come in so cocky
i asked your for a picture after your show
you walked right by me
i’m like ain’t this the dude that said it ain’t about the price tag
now on your records all that you do is brag
come on, bob, i thought you was better than that dog
what happened to cloud 9,
generation lost, you are my idol
just when i thought i’d give up on everything
i heard you play this familiar melody, melody, melody, melody
i heard you play this familiar melody, melody, melody, melody
melody, melody, melody, melody
whatever happened to b.o.b he once was my favorite
i swear to god that i had all of these mistakes on my playlist
he was hood but so different at the same time
he was like a breath of fresh air everytime he rhymed
and everybody was on him, and the world fell in love
the girls, the money, the lifestyle, all the above
i guess he stopped giving a fuck, for all of us little people
with your shades on, we can’t even see you
is that what happens when somebody makes it off of rapping?
they take the fame in change, like it’s all automatic
where’s the integrity, you’re on that other shit
you don’t even sound the same, i liked your other shit
but still i stand beside you, cause i’m way deep inside you
that’s more than what meets the eye,
i swear on the bible, you are my idol
just when i thought i’d give up on everything
i heard you play this familiar melody, melody, melody, melody
i heard you play this familiar melody, melody, melody, melody
melody, melody, melody, melody
i watched my whole life change in a couple of years
who would have ever thought i would have ever caught the world by the ear
i swear this shit is so much bigger than i had figured
but if it wasn’t meant to be, this wouldn’t be my career
it’s like, people only see it the way it appears
but they never see the ropes, and the bullies and the gears
blood sweat and tears? we … all we sweat is tears
in the middle of this rap game, on the battlefield
all of these … interviews trying to fall me
you never know … trying to play you and make you look foney
i live and die for my team, these niggas are more than my homies
we put it all on the line, we gave up all our belongings
for this rap shit, cause at the end of the day
it ain’t just rap shit, i call it making a way
for our survival
just when i thought i’d gave up on everything
i dreamed about this familiar melody, melody, melody, melody
i dreamed about this familiar melody, melody, melody, melody
i dreamed about this familiar melody, melody, melody, melody
i dreamed about this familiar melody, melody, melody, melody.
