lyrics

It’s a Dark Summer
Every day just seems the same without my lover
This city bleeds me every time an old wound recovers
But I know we’ll be okay if we have each other
Through this dark summer


In this place I’ve come to know
This war zone I call my home
I wouldn’t change it for the globe
Not mounds of gold, a crown, or throne
This city’s essence coats my bones
With love, and fewer friends than foes
If I’m judged by misdeeds alone
Then may the sinless cast their stones


Block is hot, Weezy
Watch for the cops, creepin
RAINEY up next, believe it
My city been up, no sleepin
How he make that look so easy?
Shorty been sweating me, leakin
Rent go up when the temp go up
And now it’s demon season
Infernal days and shrouded nights
Ghouls on the hunt with an appetite
For the rock and the green like Malachite
And the goblins really come out at night
So slide if you wanna come test it
It rly get live in the trenches
So you better mind who you mention
'fore we hit your block and bend it


It’s a Dark Summer
Every day just seems the same without my lover
This city bleeds me every time an old wound recovers
But I know we’ll be okay if we have each other
Through this dark summer


I don’t think I can make it without you
And I don’t really know what I’ll amount to
This city is the place I’m bound to
But it’s easier when I’m around you


And I’ll fight

With every beat beneath my chest
And every bone beneath my flesh
