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 grew up with
startin' to get jealous (I done seen it)
Let's do it, fuck tryin' y'all niggas was buyin'
My niggas was sellin' (my niggas was sellin', let's do it)
NBA dreams turned into a pistol and now I'm a felon
Think I got court in the mornin' (damn)
COVID done canceled the court so they got me on Zoom
Let off a shot, bet they clear out the room
Niggas don't like me, 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)
Kobi Shenai
When Kobe died, I thought of your name
We were so comfortable, out in Barbados Gianni was with 'em, that shit was insane
Try to 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'll fall in love again after I had Kairi (never)
We got the same eyes, 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)
I raise you like the queen you are, no problem, 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, 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 dad a hustler
Your dad'll shoot, your dad'll stab, just know, your dad'll scuffle
Long as I'm here, nobody'll actually touch you
On my soul, ya daddy love you

I never thought I fall in love again after I had Kairi (never)

On my soul, ya daddy love you
