Lyrics

Whatever happened to Bobby Ray,
He used to be here for us
Then he got famous and left all of his fans in the dust
We never hear from you, you're constantly changing
And your relatives always miss you at family occasions
And your mother misses you too
Since all the fortune,
You've been too busy recording
Now she feels unimportant
And your daddy's been going through it
Since he lost his mother
The least you could do is call him
And show him you support him
I never thought you would sell out
You're becoming so cocky
I asked you 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 and Generation Lost?
You were my idol,
Just when I thought I 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

Whatever happened to B.o.B.
He once was my favourite
I swear to God that I had all of his mixtapes on my player
He was hood, but so different at the same time
It 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 his little people
With your shades on, we can't even see you
Is that what happens,
When somebody makes it off of rapping
They taste the fame and change like it's just automatic
Where's the integrity? You on that other shit
You don't even sound the same,
I liked your other shit
But we still stand beside you,
Cause somewhere deep inside you
There's more than what meets the eye
I swear on the Bible you were 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

I watched my whole life 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 wouldn't be my career
It's like, people only see it the way it appears
But they never see the ropes and the pulleys and the gears
Blood, sweat and tears,
We cry, but always swear there's tears
In the middle of this rap game on the battlefield
All of these shock jock interviews,
Tryna phone me
You never know who's gonna try to 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, it ain't just rap shit
I call it making a way for our survival
Just when I thought I gave up on everything

I dreamed about this familiar melody
Melody, melody, melody
I dreamed about this familiar melody
Melody, melody, melody
Melody, melody, melody
I dreamed about this familiar melody
Melody, melody, melody
