Summer In December

Welcome to LA, the land of opportunity

Where everybody stay

The girls are pretty

The sun will shine 360 days

But I don't always feel that way

Today I need some gray

Yeah, ugh, please protect my soul before they weather it away

The land of opportunity where everybody stay

They move out to this town with dreams, ambitions

And get lost in a party

Takes a toll on you, man, this shit will charge a large fee

Just don't forget who you are, G

Staring at the man in the mirror like I recognize him hardly

Burn my sins away and twist some parsley

Stop and chill these days, I do it sparsely

In another universe, I coulda had a stroller and a car seat

Word, they tell me things'll happen how they supposed to

But somehow it seems I hurt all the people I get close to

Experiencing breakdowns at 27 goes through

'Cause you don't wanna see heaven yet, where Janis Joplin knows you

My phone calls with mama, like she tryna give me an ear full

She says this is the town it happens in, so just be careful

And try and keep your head straight

And dead off all that bullshit, that's just dead weight

Welcome to LA, the land of opportunity

Where everybody stay

The girls are pretty

Sun will shine 360 days

But I don't always feel that way

Today I need some grey

Yeah, ugh, please protect my soul before they weather it away

The land of opportunity where everybody stay

The whole world's outside knocking at my door

Like Gerald, where the fuck that album at?

But I ain't home, I'm on the road, the stage is where they found me at

So my personal interest take a backseat to the business

But I balance like a gymnast, like Simone in The Olympics

So please pardon my tardiness, I'm tryna put my heart in this

Give this shit my everything, every time when I start with this

Hungry for the world, that's why I starve for this, yeah

Artists come and go these days it's easy, they're not hard to miss

Here today, gone tomorrow, they fade into a dark abyss

Hollywood sold you a dream, like, how the fuck you fall for this?

Have to know yourself, or you just really gonna get lost in this sauce

I really paid the cost to be a boss

I paid in cash and skipped the tax, ain't asked for no receipt

When I get stressed, I play the beat, and split a Swisher Sweet

Welcome to LA, the land of opportunity

Where everybody stay

The girls are pretty

Sun will shine 360 days

But I don't always feel that way

Today I need some grey

Yeah, ugh, please protect my soul before they weather it away

The land of opportunity

Yeah, ugh
