Dave East - Letter 2 Kobi lyrics
[Dave East - Letter 2 Kobi lyrics]
K-O-B-I shenai
My baby (My baby)
Eleven, eleven (Eleven, eleven) look
We came up from nothin'
My mother was strugglin'
The fuck they could tell us?
(The fuck they could tell us?)
Don't nothin' hurt more than the nigga you
Grow with startin' to get jealous
(Startin' to get jealous)
Let's do it, fuck tryin'
Y'all niggas was buyin'
My niggas was sellin'
(My niggas was sellin', let's go)
NBA dreams turned into a pistol
And now I'm a felon
Think I got court in the mornin' (Damn)
Told me they canceled the court so
They got me on Zoom
Let out a shot, bеt they clear out the room
Niggas don't likе, the shit I assume (I know)
I don't really care
I used to hustle for gear
Pray I see another year
My family was doubtin' me, they
Kept on tellin' me, "No"
Everybody else was like, "yeah"
The fuck do I fear?
I done been so close to death
I smell that shit in the air
You fully loaded, I'm fully prepared
Letter to Kobi, I'm happy I'm here
She only two, damn, what the fuck I'ma do?
Her energy different from Kai
I see myself when I look in her eyes
I feel like I could never tell a lie
(Not once) call me Shenai
When Kobe died, I thought of your name
We were so comfortable, I remember
Bae Lucinao was with 'em
That shit was insane
I work it out in my brain
How did that happen?
2020, when Corona was wildin'
November 11th, you came out your mother
Remember you smilin'
Babies be cryin' but you was just smilin'
(Smilin')
That's when I knew you was different
(That's when I knew you was different)
God gave me two daughters
They love is so genuine
When I be talkin', they listen
(When I be talkin', they listen)
Shooter died in May, you was
Born in November, before Thanksgiving
I talk to God
Thank Him for you bein' healthy
My lil' Nicki, daddy got you
I never thought I fall in love
Again after I had Kairi (Never)
We got the same minds
Hope you see how far I could see
Trade my life to make sure you was safe
Focused as I could be (yeah)
If you feel it, know I feel it
You a part of me, it's hard for me
I never thought I fall in love
Again after I had Kairi (Never)
We got the same minds
Hope you see how far I could see
Trade my life to make sure you was safe
Focused as I could be (yeah)
If you feel it, know I feel it
You a part of me, it's hard for me
I look my baby girl right in
Her eyes, she yell out, "Daddy"
I smoke and think about how she would
Be if she ain't have me
Raise you like the queen you are, no problem
I do it gladly (No problem)
Raise you like the queen you are, no problem
I do it gladly (Queen)
This my letter to Kobi
I'm so glad she know me
(I'm so glad she know me)
Everything that's in my name is yours
Come grab these Rollies
This my letter to Kobi
Know your daddy love you
Get excited when I see you, I gotta kiss you
I have to hug you (Mwah)
Got Nipsey picture on my wall
Just know I had to hustle
If you don't know nothin' else about me
Just know your daddy hustle
Your dad will shoot, your dad
Will stab, just know, your dad will scuffle
Long as I'm here, nobody will touch you
On my soul, daddy love you
My baby (My baby)
Eleven, eleven (Eleven, eleven) look
We came up from nothin'
My mother was strugglin'
The fuck they could tell us?
(The fuck they could tell us?)
Don't nothin' hurt more than the nigga you
Grow with startin' to get jealous
(Startin' to get jealous)
