Dear summer

I know you gon' miss me

For we been together

Like Nike Airs

And crisp tees

S dots with polo fleeces

Purple label shit

With the logo secret

Gimme couple years

Shit I might just sneak in

A couple words

And like peaches and herb

We'll be reunited

And it feels so hood

Have the whole world saying

"How you still so good?"

Well I do this

In my slumber summer

I ain't none of these

Half-assed newcomers

You know how I do summer

I drop heat

When you bring the sun up

The combo

Make niggaz act up

I pick the gun up

Niggaz back up

They know

I'm not no fronter

I don't talk shit

I just flip it +Un+ ya

Sorry Lance

I'm just trying

To advance my quotes

I ain't making you

The butt of my jokes

But let's not stray

Ffrom what I came to say

To my beloved

Think we need

Some time away

They say if you love it

You should

Let it out it's cage

And fuck it

If it comes back

You know

It's there to stay

It's tugging

At my heart

But this time

Apart is needed

From the public

Who should've gave me

The pulitz'

Instead gave me

They ass to kiss

But you know me

Thugging 'til

The casket dips

But still shine light

Down on all my peers

I know they weird

Some queer

I still want them to share

And all the success

I received

I know you can't believe

I still love 'em

But they don't love me

They like the drunk

Uncle in your family

You know they lame

You feel ashamed

But you love 'em the same

It's like when niggaz

Make subliminal records

If it ain't directed

Directly at me

I don't respect it

You don't really want it

With Hov, for the record

I put a couple

Careers on hold

You could be next kid

Keep entering the danger zone

You gon' make that boy

Hov put your name in a song

If you that hungry for fame

Motherfucker c'mon

Say when

Take ten paces and spin

But on another note

'Bout to take another vaca'

On another boat

Goddamn a motherfucker rode

His way out the hood

And I pray

That I stay out for good

But any day

You know a nigga could

Try and play like he Suge

Then I gotta play

Like Dutch Schultz

You pass the dutchie

I blast you, trust me

Niggaz can't fuck with me

I'm in a good mood you lucky

I got a good groove

And I ain't trying

To fuck my thing up

But I will lay down

A couple green bucks

Get you cleaned up

Now I'm Pulp Fiction

Colt four-fifth and

Young niggaz

That blast for me

Blasphemy, no religion

Fala:

Listen here summer baby

I just believe

It's the right thing to do

I got a brand new bitch

Corporate America

She showing me

A lot of action right now

And I know you put me

On my feet and all, but

I mean

It's time for me to grow

You gotta let me go baby

You gotta let me go

I'm done for now

So one for now

Possibly forever

We had fun together

But like all good things

We must come to an end

Please show the same love

To my friends

Dear summer
