“Summer In The Streets” is the final track on Hands Are Made For Working. Guvna B ends the album by talking about the prospects of hoping to meet his father and friend, Daisy, again in heaven. This song also samples “Summer In The Street” by Carrie Lucas.
[Chorus]
Summer in the streets
Sounds so sweet
You'll be there with me
The way it used to be
Summer in the streets
Sounds so sweet
You'll be there with me
The way it used to be
[Verse 1]
God when you’re ready come take me away
I ain’t really scared of death no more
2017 wasn’t good for my brain
I can’t really deal with the stress no more
What’s next though, wanna pull up to your gates, wanna head home
Can’t take another day I wanna rest loads
Cos my Dad went then Daisy went 5 months later
Best know I was really close to the edge
Suicidal thoughts coulda jumped off a ledge
But Mum wouldn’t know how to cope, lil bro wouldn’t learn all the ropes, and Emma would be all alone
Can’t lie still call his phone hope he picks up
Got his photos all on my insta
Gotta be strong be a better me, I gotta stop with this negative energy
You worked too hard for the legacy, now all the advice that you gave me is making sense
Cos that Batton that you had I gotta take it next and do something
I promise that I won’t trip, Cool Runnings
Tears when I wrote this, I do love him
Can’t lose focus
Tryna finish my race and do you proud till I see you again in new summers
[Chorus]
Summer in the streets
Sounds so sweet
You'll be there with me
The way it used to be
Summer in the streets
Sounds so sweet
You'll be there with me
The way it used to be
[Verse 2]
I put all my hope in the saviour
So I’m Praying that I’ll see Dad later
When i get my mansion up there i hope you're my my next door neighbour
Might bring a couple pads play Sega
First console you bought me was mega drive
FIFA 98 and crash bandicoot those were the days
But there’ll be better times
And Daisy
I’m still in that whatsapp group that we set up for your funeral
I write in it every now and again
You’ll never know the power that you had with your friends
All of the memories I’m carrying them
Till my very last breath I’ll be grateful for every second me you and Joe spent travelling ends
It’s all love hope i see you heaven and that's real
[Chorus]
Summer in the streets
Sounds so sweet
You'll be there with me
The way it used to be
Summer in the streets
Sounds so sweet
You'll be there with me
The way it used to be
