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
