Prelude to Summer

Look like, look like, look like
Look like summertime
Long cold winter kinda dulled my shine
Air out the crib, need to open blinds
If you kick it with me, need an open mind
Where the stoop at?
With a boombox older than the whole damn crew
Mobbing with our shorties and a cooler full of brew
Brouhaha now we laughing at you. Freestyle it!
We wilin' ain't going nowhere unless it's in walking distance
If you ain't up on that Recipe, don't know what you're missing
Don't get it twisted, that winter dissing
My city ready, those Chicago whiteboys been rocking shorts since the upper twenties
Well, that's never been me
Trying to get it hotter with a couple of degrees
Looking like I've never seen the sun in my life
But the summer in the city is the love of my life
Ain't nothing to do but kick it with you, until we pass out in the grass
So cheers to the city that works, but also knows how to relax

Back to the back to the paradise where I sleep

Chi
Town

I tried to freeze time but it just melted in the summer sun
It'll all be over shortly here despite the fact that summer's young
Feeling wavy, red cups and sunsets
Celebration of success
Honestly, my life couldn't suck less
Relax, nodding my head to the crickets
Morning birds chirping loud but we still trying to kick it
It's nights like these that let me breathe and ease my mind
Been stressing over exes who complain I don't have time
So I guess I'm back to solo, so selfish I wish I wasn't
But I think my art's the only one I'm capable of loving
Nothing above or before it could never ignore it
Competitive, never could forfeit
Wish I could live without sleep, but probably I just need more of it

Tried to freeze time, but it melted in that summer sun
Nothing lasts forever so enjoy the moment until it's done
