[Intro]
K-O-B-I Shenai
My baby
11/11
Look

[Verse]
We came up from nothin', my mother was strugglin', the fuck could they tell us? (The fuck they could tell us?)
Don't nothin' hurt more than the n***a you grow with startin' to get jealous (I done seen it)
Let's do it, fuck tryin', y'all n***as was buyin', my n***as 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 it clear out the room
N***as don't like me, the shit I assume
I don't really care
I used to hustle for gear, pray I see another yеar
My family was doubtin' me, they kept on tеllin' 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, I 'member 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
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
[Chorus]
I never thought I fall in love again after I had Kairi (Never)
We got the same minds, hope you see as far as 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 had me
Raise you like the queen you are, no problem, I'd do it gladly (No problem)
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 (Glad)
Everything that's in my name is yours, come grab these Rollies (They yours)
This my letter to Kobi, know your daddy love you (He 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 (Neighbor)
If you don't know nothin' else about me, just know your dad'll hustle
Your dad'll shoot, your dad'll stab, just know, your dad'll scuffle (All of that)
Long as I'm here, nobody'll actually touch you
On my soul, daddy love you
I never thought I fall in love again after I had Kairi (Never)
We got the same minds, hope you see as far as 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 had me
Raise you like the queen you are, no problem, I'd do it gladly (No problem)
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 (Glad)
Everything that's in my name is yours, come grab these Rollies (They yours)
This my letter to Kobi, know your daddy love you (He 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 (Neighbor)
If you don't know nothin' else about me, just know your dad'll hustle
Your dad'll shoot, your dad'll stab, just know, your dad'll scuffle (All of that)
Long as I'm here, nobody'll actually touch you
On my soul, daddy love you
