Middle of Da Summer

Philly

(Take 'em back to the Plat, Meek)

(Gangsta)

Middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

(G-town drawl, baby)

In the middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

(Can't forget the bottle)

I used to play the block all night 'til the sun came up

Everybody got they gun game up

In the middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

Stack all winter just to stunt in the summer

Ridin' in my new Camaro, sometimes I wonder

Will it take me under or will it make me stronger

Thinking the times when I was broke

It only gave me hunger

Shorty walking through the block

It only made me wonder

My homies was sellin' dope and doin' Jay-Z numbers

**** smoochin' wrist was cold

And throwin' AC numbers

They on it, was from the zone

Use to say we youngins

But we was ready though

Around the time when all the rap was on the radio

Me and my **** on the block

With hammers heavy though

I used to put it in my hand, ain't wanna let it go

Ain't wanna let it go, no

The work was low, the numbers was right

Used to play the summer league

A couple youngins was nice

They ain't make it to the league

'Cause it'll fuck up your life

In the middle of the summer

When you fucking with white

Middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

In the middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

I used to play the block all night 'til the sun came up

Everybody got they gun game up

In the middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

Charlie Nix marching through screaming

Stop the violence

He had Will Smith with him

Tried to stop the wildin'

But as soon as they left the hood

Man, shots was fired

Ambulances rushin' somebody mama cryin'

They say the good don't make it here

Ain't no fightin' hammer time

And they gon' take it there

North rushin' cops lock you like Jamaican hair

Young boul sixteen and got eighty years

Middle of the summer, people cooking out

Old heads looking out

Rest in peace

Tears for the soldiers that got tooken out

I was in the streets

Momma told me to be in the house

Ten o'clock I was on the block

Moving in and out

City of brotherly love

I was only thirteen, I seen a puddle of blood

Grown man laying there, he got one in his mug

His grandma screaming

Told you about selling them drugs

Middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

In the middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

I used to play the block all night 'til the sun came up

Everybody got they gun game up

In the middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

It was the middle of the summer

But it was feeling like the winter

July was feeling like December

We ball hard to the finish, uh

They say I'm cold 'cause I'm a winner

We had a quarter brickies

Half of birdies

Stash box ride super dirty

Tryna get that money

Zip locks, nose candy

Back to back in them black caddies

And we said this is our summer

And we taking it there

I'm all up in this mirror

Like look at this Audamars

Standing in my rear

While staring at this painted mirror

Still tryna get it square

Super fly how we live

Aw, knocked out lights coming

Knocked out mean a bike's coming

Smelling to stroke

These Philly streets will make you lose hope

Her son was murdered now she use coke

It was the

Middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

In the middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

I used to play the block all night 'til the sun came up

Everybody got they gun game up

In the middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

Middle of the summer
