Letter To My Kids - Kutt Calhoun, Krizz Kaliko

Its like am I, am I doing this for a reason

I don’t know, I don’t understand sometimes so

I know its harder for y’all to understand so Imma sit down and write this

letter to you

Let all of y’all know how it feels for daddy

(Verse 1: Kutt Calhoun)

There ain’t no words to express the way that I feel

But hopefully this song can connect you to what is real

The life that I live is so demanding with trying to rock the planet

And I just hope my babies understand it

I’m knowing while I’m gone you’re steady getting older and older

I know this walking with this bird under my shoulder

So Malik and Andrea, Unique, Dari and Darius

And O’Shea, never had a clue on y’all could prepare for this

If I could just vent for a moment, please understand it

Daddy’s intentions was having your best at interests when no one else mattered

Bringing my kids into the world is a blessing to me

With 4 boys and 2 beautiful little girls

I cling onto all of our memories and the pictures you give to me

Help me remember what I’m never here to see

So please keep your mind I’d be dreaming about you

Until the next time I see you, continued on Page 2

(Chorus: Krizz Kaliko)

So I’m sitting down and write to you

Hope this letter gets you through

I can’t see what you can see when you’re crying

And so another birthday passes through

Daddy can’t make it home to you

So know inside my heart I’m slowly dying

(Verse 2: Kutt Calhoun)

Andrea, when you moved out to Charlotte, a part of your daddy died

Had to tell you goodbye, and I can see it in your eyes

So I tried to be strong and tell you everything was fine

But had to turn away quick cause I was crying

That’s why I don’t understand why your mama moved you away from me till this day

So I plan to be stable so you can stay with me

Cause all the pain and problems that life is lived as you fight em

And the win and I hope your mama realize (Come on back T)

Shea, if you reading this letter, wish you was here today

But everything up the road in St. Joe is in disarray

And that’s no excuse when when me and your mama produced you

Didn’t ask to be here so why are we both acting stupid

You’re an honor roll student and got a future in sports

So you deserve that I give 100 percent of support

Me being gone doesn’t make it better I know that you missing me

Miss you too and I promise it’ll get better I swear it, you’ll see

So I’m sitting down and write to you

Hope this letter gets you through

I can’t see what you can see when you’re crying

And so another birthday passes through

Daddy can’t make it home to you

So know inside my heart I’m slowly dying

Darius, damn my little banner of glamor

It’s been a couple of years so tell me, how was Atlanta?

I see you talk with Atwain now, but that doesn’t change how

You wish to be here with your daddy, gritting the same route

Came back for the summer I can’t begin to explain how

My heart skipped a couple of beats when we got to hang out

We picked up your brother Malik, the oldest, he’s thirteen

Had a ball, we was cracking up at the table at Applebees

You still got a bro and sis you ain’t met Darioni, Unique

Dari is 9 and Unique is 10 and you all need to meet

The sooner the better because y’all growing so fast

We need to all get together, try and catch up on our past

And keep in touch for the future between you brothers and sisters

But I give props to your mothers for raising you and the troopers

Do anything in this world for you

I’ll show you what Imma do

And Deana remember that I love you

And your mama too (So let me see my kids)

So I’m sitting down and write to you

Hope this letter gets you through

I can’t see what you can see when you’re crying

And so another birthday passes through

Daddy can’t make it home to you

So know inside my heart I’m slowly dying
