Ay
Dear Kai
You know daddy love you right
Look
Dear Kai hope you don't think
That the reason why I'm in here
Is 'cause I'm wildin'
Daddy he just lost his trial
And they got me for something violent
DA talkin' twenty two years
I couldn't even ******* tell you
It was way too hard to just be honest
Glass visits told your
Mama not to bring you
For the first three months
I couldn't let you witness
Daddy at the bottom
You was only five
Plus I brought you every
Single day to trial
Knew that deep down
I was goin' in so
I would fake a smile
Paparazzi flashin' at us
I know you don't understand
But you still my little man
Every single minute of that trial week
That I brought you out the court
The public said it's underhand
I really brought you 'cause
I didn't know if I'd see you again
Mommy didn't know what to do
Daddy was out on the jail
Mommy started drinking more
But she hid it from you well
You miss daddy I know why
I just see it in your eyes
All them little nights you cried
I can see it when you smile
It hurts me to death when
I look at you and I see my eyes
I remember Christmas when I went in
I didn't have enough
Money to give you a life
Daddy felt so helpless on that
Day that he sat up inside his
Cell and all he did was cry
See daddy bank accounts was frozen
And his accountants left him
So everybody that told him they
Hold him down went suicide
I had to call you on that phone
And read you a poem 'cause
I ain't had no dough to
Get you through the times
I just want you to know that you
The reason why I keep on fighting
These powerful people
In these crucial times
Take care your mama you my roller
Always know that
I made you a soldier now
Hush little baby don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Tell your mama you a soldier
That's what I told ya
And if she needs ya
Then hold her through the night
I know daddy not there right
Now and you don't know why
Make you wonder when I'm coming back
But I promise I'll be
Back for my little soldier
I told ya until I'm home
Boy I'm finna fight
I remember it was April 12th county jail
Daddy he just wasn't there
First birthday I ever missed
Daddy felt alone and felt like no one's there
So he shut himself down from
The world and he ain't phoning in
I know that it only affected you
It was nothing fair
Mommy she loved you so much
She started getting cleaned up
But when you had to stay with Ashley
I know that that seems sus
Even though your mama came with drama
She was always strong enough to hold
You up just for the both of us
I wonder how you really feelin' lately
Uncle jay is crazy ain't he
But he loves you and he stays
With you the days that
I just can't be
Also understand that
Rico is your lil' brother
I need you both to keep
Each other's safety
'Cause they gave daddy all these years
Promised that I'd make it home
Till the day I make it there
Court case ten years
Aiin't no one can say it's fair
But that's how they play 'em cards
You know they don't play them fair
Daddy will be always there
And that's where the Rico too
Daddy will be always there
I know that you'll be there too
All the **** I'm hearing
About is dumb noise
I just wanna get home
To my young boys
Hush little baby don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Tell your mama you a soldier
That's what I told ya
And if she needs ya
Then hold her through the night
I know daddy not there right
Now and you don't know why
Make you wonder when I'm coming back
But I promise I'll
Be back for my little soldier
I told ya until I'm
Home boy I'm finna fight
They carry go I promise I'm the see gone
'Bout 'bout
