“Summer Up” is the second single to be released promoting his debut album, There You Have It.

The music video was released four days after the single premiered.
[Chorus]
I'm tryna get that new Benz 'fore the summer up (Benz 'fore the summer up, Benz 'fore the summer up)
Tryna get that new Benz 'fore the summer up (Benz 'fore the summer up, Benz 'fore the summer up)
I've been tryna get that new Benz 'fore the summer up (Benz 'fore the summer up, Benz 'fore the summer up)
Tryna get that new Benz 'fore the summer up (Benz 'fore the summer up, Benz 'fore the summer up)
[Verse 1]
Look, I say every time I step into the game gotta hustle quick
Hungry nigga buffet, I never stomached it
They call me REASON select, you know the government
Seem big headed but more grindin' than punishment
Came from the struggle so trust that I know what punished meant
Somebody asked me, "Is REASON still spittin'?"
Shit, Janikowski still kickin', Nip Hussle still crippin'
Sprained ankle still limpin', perm web still dippin'
Fuck you thought, nigga?
God with me I hustle straight off the cross with it
'Till the crib is big enough to put lofts in it
Go through a lot for lots, long as the cars in it
The frauds in it, we make it by bein' authentic
Swag like chicken nuggets, I got the sauce with it
Lyrics potent, you know it so when I quote it
You gotta go deep for you to catch it like Randy Moss did it
Rick Ross the whip, you know the boss in it
[Chorus]
Benz 'fore a summer up (Benz 'fore the summer up, Benz 'fore the summer up)
I'm been tryna get that new Benz 'fore the summer up (Benz for the summer up Benz 'fore the summer up)
I've been tryna get that new Benz 'fore the summer up (Benz 'fore the summer up Benz 'fore the summer up)
Tryna get a new Benz 'fore the summer up (Benz 'fore the summer up Benz for the summer up)
[Verse 2]
Time runnin' out quick, I'm workin' nigga, it's like I got the clock right on me
Hopin' God never hit the stop watch on me, shit
I got a lot move livin', a lot more givin'
A lot more sinnin', a lot more learnin'
A lot less finished, I've been through a lot
I took a lot but I get a lot because I put a lot more in it
I'm never thinkin' like, "Yo, I got a lot more minutes"
'Cause when Kendal died I learned the clock keep tickin'
Like damn, wish I could get him back
Used to spit it to P before I would finish raps
Now he here and we're finished, I'm in the zone with it
Look on his face let's me know it's hittin' home with him
I done kinda, I kinda got in the groove of it
Slidin' through the streets like the niggas in Cool Runnings
I see a shot, word to JR, you know that I'ma take it
Keep shootin' 'til I know that I'ma make it
Fuck the stats nigga, you gotta put up attempts
Pops said this, he gave me the hustle, nigga shut up and sprint
'Til you're runnin' through, the game bring out the worst in you like summers do
Summers bringin' out murders still in their sun dresses
Swear them dresses make a faithful nigga break necks
I'm tryin' take steps so I can be the greatest
Hip-hop Don shit, I'm tryin' keep it alive like incubators
See I'm waitin' so know it's the realest 'cause REASON made it
These niggas ain't gonna give me a lane, I penetrate it
Fuck patience for opportunity I'm finished waitin'
So know I put my heart in every statement
P asked me, "Is REASON still workin'?" Shit
Nigga, is Amber Rose still twerkin'? Gold diggers still flirtin'
Horny teens still jerkin', all my ex's still lurkin'
Black lives still hurtin', black lives still hurtin'
[Chorus]
Nigga Benz 'fore the summer up (Benz 'fore the summer up, Benz 'fore the summer up)
Nigga I've been tryna get that new Benz 'fore the summer up (Benz 'fore the summer up, Benz 'fore the summer up)
I've been tryna get that new Benz 'fore the summer up (Benz 'fore the summer up, Benz 'fore the summer up)
Tryna get a new Benz 'fore the summer up (Benz 'fore the summer up, Benz 'fore the summer up)
Look upgraded now I got a new Bentley 'fore the summer up (Bentley 'fore the summer up, Bentley 'fore the summer up)
Tryin' to get a new Bentley 'fore the summer up (Bentley 'fore the summer up, Bentley 'fore the summer up)
Benz 'fore the summer up (Benz 'fore the summer up Benz 'fore the summer up)
I've been tryna get that new Benz 'fore the summer up (Benz 'fore the summer up, Benz 'fore the summer up)
[Verse 3]
Loosin' people everyday I'm tryin' hold together
Too many games to roll so we can't grow together
Nice to know 'em, I'm prayin' my next'll know me better
Feelin's drippin' I'm prayin' that I ain't soakin' in 'em
Dreams gettin' close, workin' 'til my mama in a different space
She in the hood, I ain't sleepin' until she in a place
Where she can see the difference
Walk out, go outside, grand kids, picket fences, nigga listen
[Chorus]
Nigga, Benz 'fore the summer up (Benz 'fore the summer up, Benz 'fore the summer up)
I've been tryin' to get that new Benz 'fore the summer up (Benz 'fore the summer up Benz 'fore the summer up)
I'm tryin' to get that new Benz 'fore the summer up (Benz 'fore the summer up Benz 'fore the summer up)
Young nigga tryin' to get that new Benz 'fore the summer up (Benz 'fore the summer up Benz 'fore the summer up)
