A mon Frere Ishmael...R.I.P.

RIP to my boy Zanga Ishmael Coulibaly
I was there when you hit your first game winner
Helped you bone your first girl in America
Helped you with your first English paper
We wrote our first song together at the house
“Nothing better than pussy” was the theme
You never missed any of my games and vice versa
You showed me what true hommihood is all about
Thank you for Kery James, thank you for Akhenaton
Thank you for all your advice, thank you for not selling me out after I slept with Henry’s girl
Dang, that would have been a major ass whipping.
Thanks for the biscuits man, you always made sure to save me some extra ones
Thanks for all the hours in the studio, my love for music grew because of you
Your dedication and passion, I will never forget
Sorry I couldn’t be there for you when I went away for CT
Yet you made sure to come see me when I was struggling on the field
Thank you Ish for always having my back…the night I got drunk with Abokan
The night we got kicked out of the dorms…
The night the girls took the car…
We made plans to link up at the Kery James concert…
Now I wish I had call your mom when you fail to reply to my e-mail
Why didn’t you tell me you had cancer fam? I bet it was your pride…
I would have flown to Abidjan to see you man…You were part of my family.
I told my folks and they’re sadden over the news man.
I wish we could have had one last go at it…Kery James at the Cigale would have been crazy dude.
It’s sold out though…I’ll pay my respect when in February…
I promise to stay in touch with your mom…she was a great French teacher to me.
I know she’s devastated…I’ll reach out as often as my schedule allows me…
I know you’re gone but you’ll always be in my heart fam…
Sorry you didn’t get that Kiss from Cheryl…she cried when I told her last night.
Now she wishes she had kissed you too. You should be smiling…That’s one girl, I couldn’t pull…not even on my best day…lol.
“Nothing better than pussy”…if only you knew man…Life is a whole lot better than pussy.
The stupid shit we say when we have no clue about this life…

Repose en paix mon frere! t'a marker ton temps, tu m'as marker par ta simplicité, ton ouverture; tu n'était pas comme les otres jeunes de ton age. t avait 1 grd coeur tjrs souriant, poli, gentil, respectueux, t avait la joie de vivre et de reussir tout sk tu fesait. Gawou, tu me manques.
