Intro:
This song
Is dedicated to my son
The one and only
YNW Melly
(Yeah)
I'm proud of you son
(So proud of you)
You've done some good things
(Proud of you, proud of you)
[?]
(Let's go, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Verse-1:
I know my son didn't do it
He wasn't raised to be no killer
And now they got him locked up, and they ain't tryna release him
Lord knows I wanna help him
God knows my heart is hurtin'
I pray every night that god takes away this hurtin'
Now the streets out here talkin'
But they don't know what's happenin'
Everybody got something to say, but don't got the proof to back it
Even though he's locked up
His music out here spittin'
All the haters want to see him down 'cause he was out here winnin'
Now his album done went platinum
Now the law wants to get at him
They wanna use him music against him and say it dictated his actions
Everybody going live
Trying to say they know what happened
But they don't know what they talkin' 'bout, they just talkin' out
Chorus:
Wake up in the morning I got Melly on my mind
Everybody's talkin', but all they do is lie
They don't know what happened, but the court has to decide
But I just can't believe it, I got Melly on my mind
I got Melly on my mind
I got Melly on my mind
I got Melly on my mind
I got Melly on my mind
Melly on my mind
Verse-2:
The situation is confusing, people got to stop
Everytime I step out I hear my son o the jukebox
I pull up to the light, his music playing on the box
All the posts on Instagram are of the friends they think he shot
My son didn't kill his friends, they say he was with them from the gate
I'm screamin', "Free Melly" 'til they let him out the gate
The feeling's overwhelming, the lord knows that I can't wait
You can see my son shining, now they praying for his fate
They smiling in his face, but meanwhile hopin' for the worst
But my son is god fearing, so he always put God first
Like Melly said hiself, they trying to knock him off his grind
But I just can't believe it, I got Melly on my mind
Chorus:
Wake up in the morning I got Melly on my mind
Everybody's talkin', but all they do is lie
They don't know what happened, but the court has to decide
But I just can't believe it, I got Melly on my mind
I got Melly on my mind
I got Melly on my mind
I got Melly on my mind
I got Melly on my mind
Melly on my mind
