DOM. KENNEDY graced the streets of Los Angeles in 2008 with the release of his debut project, entitled 25th Hour. The Leimert Park native made a name for himself by performing at various events and venues including the popular Sneaker Pimps Tour and the world famous House of Blues.
The amazing response to his live shows ignited his ambitions to self-produce, distribute and promote the 25th Hour mix-tape, which now stays in heavy rotation on Southern California play-lists. With his witty yet ingenious lyrics, Dom Kennedy has proven that he is not your average West Coast emcee.
Come Over
Dom Kennedy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never fucked around on you
Nigga, when they asked [?] they all knew because it's
Written on my face, hit you when I'm out front
Can I come over?
Can I come over?
So can I come over?
Can I come over?
The game's so real, she got Italian heels
When I look you in your face, tell me how it feel
Don't be on me in the club, girl, you gotta chill
I want that house on the hill, and I ain't got a deal
She know a nigga out here, but she ridin' still
She my main thang, I let her ride the wheel
I been sorta playin', I'mma try for real
Cause if somebody get her, I'mma die for real
I'm the only one that made her cry for real
I let her hit it once and she got high for real
If she hold the gun, she by my side for real
Eleven minus one, yeah she a dime for real
It's all about you, girl, your time is here
Don't let nobody hear, girl, your mama's here
You know I stay fresh like my promise here
All I heard was "Yeah, bitch, my [?] is here"
I was almost home when she hit my phone
Soundin' all sad like I did her wrong
Sex was real strong, but we didn't get along
It's been a few months, she say she been alone
Pants was so tight, girl, how'd you fit 'em on
If this was junior high, man, they'd send her home
She the inspiration while I pen this song
She told me to come over, so I went along
I know she probably think I'm just gon' hit and leave
I shouldn't even do it from what he did to me
But it wasn't my fault, girl, it was both of us
I don't wanna talk, just lemme poke somethin'
Now I got her leakin' like her boat comin'
Put your leg up, I think I broke somethin'
Tie ya ass up, I'm trynna rope somethin'
When you finna cum, just lemme know somethin'
In Dom Kennedy's song "Come Over," the singer seems honestly in love with his significant other. He assures her that he'd do anything for her, that he's never cheated on her and that he wants to come over to her. He also says that he's been playing previously, but now his intentions are serious. He even remarks that he'd die for her, and he's the only one that has made her cry for real. He is also aware of his faults, and knows that he shouldn't have sexual relations with his ex, but he can't help it. It's not quite clear what the reason for their breakup was, but the singer hints that it wasn't all his fault.
In the second verse, the singer describes his ex's need for attention and reassurance. She's still interested in him, but the singer is hesitant to acknowledge this because he doesn't want to be held responsible for the demise of another relationship. However, he finds himself unable to resist and eventually gives in to her advances. The singer describes the physicality between them, which is passionate and wild.
