Renee (song)

"Renee" is a song by American rap group Lost Boyz from their first studio album Legal Drug Money and the Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood soundtrack.

[citation needed] It samples the Janet Jackson song "Funny How Time Flies (When You're Having Fun)".

The song's lyrics discuss the narrator, a young man, who meets a woman named Renee while coming back from John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

The pair date for several weeks, but the relationship ends abruptly when she is shot to death by a burglar at a robbery.

[1] The moral of the song is "ghetto love is the law that we live by," describing the inevitable suffering of tragedy by those raised in crime-ridden areas.
