Letter to Krept

Yo, dear cousin

Real talk, I don't even know how to start this

I just know that I love you

Anyway, let me talk cousin

Let me be real

Let me tell you how a **** feel

From the dinner table, college or in the field

Let me get it out

And let me spill every emotion

But know that it's gonna be real

Do you remember how it used to be?

Casio, Blaine, Cadet and Krept

Batty in bench, fame on the set

I would walk, you would walk

I would step, you would step

But shit ain't really feeling the same

That's the reason why I'm writing you

Because, really I just want my cousin back

I ain't got family that's as tight as you like

I didn't really know where to start

But college is kinda where the shit went pear

See, I found my wife in college

But I never made it into the second year

And I overheard she was cheating

And I was tryna figure it out like it was Blue's Clues

But then, you were friends with the guy she was beating

I kinda felt like you let her get moved to, cuz

I felt snaked

But I never said nothing, never opened my mouth

'Cause maybe you never knew

You know you're my cousin, you get the benefit of the doubt

Now imagine how gassed granddad would be

Seeing us on the stage where we're meant to be

But it hasn't been an easy road

Man, it's been like chapters and the first one's jealousy though

Well, maybe not jealousy

But that word should give you an idea of the truth

And truth say, we be first cousins

When I say I do music, yeah, always comparing the kid like

Everywhere I go, everybody saying something

Why don't he bring you in it?

Like a **** did with youngin

Got me bumming, got me feeling that the love is awful

And they all say I should've been a paranormal

Now around that time

I went from being Cadet to Krept's cousin

And see, yeah, I was kicking myself

'Cause I felt shit, but never said nothing

And like now we ain't spoken in months

And even advice, I can't ask the kid

'Cause I remember your what's up status

Don't chat to me if you're gonna ask for shit

Now around this time, everything's getting loose

Feels like with me, you want nothing to do

See I'm taking bare digs

But everybody knew I was talking 'bout you

In like every single tune, I was bruised

Even though I felt one way, I would still love you to the death

Even got a bar

Even though the love's one way

I'd still bang you in your face if you're talking 'bout Krept

But I guess the blame ain't on you

'Cause not once did I pick up the phone and phone you

I'm happy that you're doing your thing

But it's a reminder of all the shit I don't do

So when your videos were hitting a mil'

I was still taking bets up in Willy Hill

Now jealousy's gone 'cause it's dumb to feel

And the second chapter is where the hunger spills

See, the second chapter's called hunger

And this is where the shit gets peak

'Cause it's, it's when I stopped watching you

And I, I started watching me

But I still got your name in like every bar though

Parked up listening to Argy Fargo

And the one time you brought me to Wireless

Was exactly the kick I needed in the asshole

'Cause you chose me right over the man

Like even though we ain't spoke in long time

And after you send the invite

Thought you were going to say, my bad, wrong convo'

'Cause then you brought me on stage

It was me, you and Killer Konan

I was the last one to come off stage though

'Cause up there, man, it felt like home

And I swear since that moment

I took shit serious

Stopped shoving food, quit the moves

Quit the fraud and made them though I was delirious

See, I would go car park, buy bud, leave the engine on

And then somehow fall asleep

Wake up with a dead battery

Get jump started and then the same night go repeat

Till the point now I ain't even got a car

'Cause both the engine and the battery's gone

But at least now I'm chasing my dream

I ain't felt like a waste man in long

And the third chapter's called love

Ain't no soft shit, ain't no need for boo-hoo's

But when I started loving myself

Then I could love you like I used to

Got tired

I've been a waste man rapper

In an undercover up in the crib

Man, I got tired

I go into music events

Didn't recognize me for a thing

Man, I got tired

I got tired of feeling like I ain't gonna win

And, yeah, I got tired

Tired of telling you **** that I don't know

Why you don't wanna bring a **** in see

I'm just glad I'm in the same race as you

And the dream is to go and share first place with you

You know, man

You're my left lung and there ain't no replacing you

And PS

I'll still bang everybody in the face for you

Man, I love you

You must know this

You know I love you

You know I love you, you know I love you

See, you're my cousin

You have came from nothing

We both call me something

You know I love you, you know I love you

You know I love you

You know I love you, you know I love you

You know I love you

You know I love you, you know I love you

See, you're my cousin

We both came from nothing

We both gon' be something

You know I love you, you know I love you

Yo, cousin

Yo, cuz

Nah, I just called to say, I love you, man

Ha, ha, ha
