"Shai Afeni" lyrics
Cordae Lyrics
All my daydreams have suddenly come true
I made a wish and there you are (Hush, baby, come on)
And now I know just what it means to be in love (Shh, shh, it's okay, baby, it's alright)
And every night, I thank my lucky star (Dada got you)
Uh
Seen my daughter for the first time, I couldn't describe
This feelin' of joy, this feelin' of pride
That feelin' of not knowin' exactly what you feelin' inside
And I see a piece of me when I look in your eyes
Instillin' everything I learned in you 'cause I believe in you
Worldwide shows, it hurts when I'm leavin' you
You got me cryin' on this tour bus
You got me cryin', you got me yearnin' for your love, it's unmatched
And I hope to make you proud to say I'm your dad
But don't forget to wipe your shoes on the floor mat
And my advice when your faith feels slim
Sing to Him when your day's lookin' grim
I'm blowin' up, sure, I'm right on the brim
And you my light when it's dim (Ayy, you my light, baby)
Me and your mom close as ever, man, we tight like a Skim
A bad day at work, won't bring it back home
You wanna play, I won't say, "Leave me alone"
Take you to London and we goin' for scones
Trips to Greece, this whole world, we gon' roam
Although it's certain things I will not condone
I'm still your father, you know
But I'm so proud from watchin' you grow
I wrote this song when you was two weeks old, ayy
All my daydreams have suddenly come true (I do it all to make you smile)
All my daydreams have suddenly come true (I hope I make your proud)
And now I know just what it means to be in love (For real)
And every night, I thank my lucky star
As I write in this journal just so my words are eternal
I'll leave this time capsule for you so that you can return to
Whenever you got questions about your dad, about his present and past
I'll leave these pages all for you to just have
Learn from mistakes that I made and create your own path
Learn from my life firsthand and all the gems that I grabbed
Number one, God is first, keep your faith strong
And honor your mom and dad so your days long
No pressure, you don't gotta be a baller or make songs
But I beg you, please avoid niggas like Trey Songz
Sorry, Trigga, don't ever fuck with sorry niggas
In business, don't burn bridges
And every loss, you make sure you learn with it (Uh)
There's gon' be a time when things don't always go your way
There's gon' always be some people with some shit to say
There's gon' always be adversity throughout this life
But just remember, everything gon' be alright, yeah
Ooh, and what I feel is ecstasy every time you're next to me
Keep it coming, yeah (Keep it coming)
Uh, yeah
Don't you start, baby
Oh, keep it coming
Oh, oh (Keep it coming)
I made a wish and there you are (Hush, baby, come on)
And now I know just what it means to be in love (Shh, shh, it's okay, baby, it's alright)
And every night, I thank my lucky star (Dada got you)
Uh
Seen my daughter for the first time, I couldn't describe
This feelin' of joy, this feelin' of pride
That feelin' of not knowin' exactly what you feelin' inside
