Summer’s Gone (Interlude)

Every summer me and Larry at the Boys Club of St. Louis
You know I’m nice with hoops, that’s where I learned to do it
Playing pool with the opposite of straight A students
You would classify as ruthless, but to me, they were my homies
Mimicking Jordan way before there was a Kobe
To get a better shot i thought, "here’s what imma do"
Study then copy the Reggie Miller follow through
The summer had hoop it ups, but I never did it
My confidence was low, and often it would show
Around a bunch of hood kids and my name is Dennis
To overcompensate I took it to the limits
Was mad at the world cuz I need a dad
So mom got the Six Flags season pass
Every summer, now I’m wishing that the time changed
To back when me and momma rode the Mine Train
And the Screaming Eagle, because I really need you
For guidance in a world that’s filled with evil
But now the summer's gone and the rains here
Despite the thunder storms you remained here
In my heart you’ll live forever, I hope you know that your kid is better
I said, In my heart you’ll live forever; I hope you know that your kid is better
