Whatever happened to Bobby Ray, he used to be here for us
Then he got famous and left all
you're constantly changing
And your relatives always miss
And your mother misses you too
Since all the fortune you've
Now she feels unimportant and your
daddy's been going through it
The least you could do is call him and show him,
I never thought you would
I asked you for a picture
You walked right by me, I'm like
Ain't this the dude that said that
it ain't about the price tag
I thought you was better than that dog
just when I thought I give up on everything
I heard you play this familiar melody
Whatever happened to B.o.B. he
I swear to God that I had all of
his mixtapes on my playlist
but so different at the same time
It was like a breath of fresh air,
and the world fell in love
The girls, the money, the lifestyle
I guess he stopped giving a fuck
For all of his little people
when somebody makes it off of rapping
They taste the fame and change
You don't even sound the same,
But we'll stand beside you,
'cause somewhere deep inside you
I swear on the Bible you were my idol
Just when I thought I give up on everything
I heard you play this familiar melody
change in a couple of years
Who woulda ever thought I woulda
caught the world by the ears
I swear, this shit is so much
bigger than I had figured
But if it wasn't meant to be this
It's like, people only see it,
But they never see the ropes and
the pulleys and the gears
we cry but always swear there's tears
In the middle of this rap
All of these shock jock interviews,
You never know who's gonna play
you and make you look phoney
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,
I call it making a way for our survival
Just when I thought I gave
I dreamed about this familiar melody (Melody, melody, melody)
