[Intro]
Summer time, [?]
Summer time, [?]
[Chorus: POETIK, [?] & POETIK and [?] Together]
(In the ghetto) Yo, gots to focus on the good times
Still representin', let the hood shine
(Everywhere I go now) Got my city on my back, carry that
Call the homies on the celly like, "Where the Mary at?"
(Back though) Holla back when you see me on the block, come rolling
Gotta watch for crooked cops patrollin'
(Only in the ghetto, oh, oh) Stay up, don't let the ghetto take you out
I'm reminiscin', been this right here
Just an O.G. summer
[Verse 1: POETIK]
Yeah, I'm ridin' with my day-ones
Still hustlin', still bustin' the [?] gun
Play the game to make change, we don't play dumb
Watch how you talkin' 'round here, leave your face numb
O.G. got the world screamin' 6-eighty-5
Vailima sippin' in the sunshine
Some of the usos bang blood, some say cuz
It's Polynesian, recognize it's all love, stand together
Took an uso [?] deep in a whip
Top down Fiji, smokin' a spliff
If you got it on the roll-up, I'm still the same, just grown-up
Pass the spray can, let me throw up
Vital Status, Samoan hip-hop originale
I'ma fight 'em, fresh to death, that's most def
Enemies, dem wan test, dem step to a slow death
You want beef? Go ahead, go H.A.M., I'll go chef
[Chorus: POETIK, [?] & POETIK and [?] Together]
(In the ghetto) Yo, gots to focus on the good times
Still representin', let the hood shine
(Everywhere I go now) Got my city on my back, carry that
Call the homies on the celly like, "Where the Mary at?"
(Back though) Holla back when you see me on the block, come rolling
Gotta watch for crooked cops patrollin'
(Only in the ghetto, oh, oh) Stay up, don't let the ghetto take you out
I'm reminiscin', been this right here
Just an O.G. summer
[Verse 2: Kenzie From Welly]
Still tight with those with me from the south
Tell me, why the ghetto seems so dark?
And at the same time, like, oh, no, I'm [?] the side with less
Survival of the strong, faker, be gone
We don't tolerate loose lips and liars can leave
Left to stand on our own so we bet as we please
Streets taught many lessons so we celebrate the wins
And the losses taught us to build up thick skin
Tell me, are you really down? Have you got my back to the death?
Many gone before the time, takin' a rest
Live like I had another till my brother passed on
Left my heart in the gutter, tell his mother, "Be strong", uh
Here's to the future, setting the foundations
Letting the pain breathe, alone with the frustration
It's never too late to change
Got my word in my bond till my family [?]
[Chorus: POETIK, [?] & POETIK and [?] Together]
(In the ghetto) Yo, gots to focus on the good times
Still representin', let the hood shine
(Everywhere I go now) Got my city on my back, carry that
Call the homies on the celly like, "Where the Mary at?"
(Back though) Holla back when you see me on the block, come rolling
Gotta watch for crooked cops patrollin'
(Only in the ghetto, oh, oh) Stay up, don't let the ghetto take you out
I'm reminiscin', been this right here
Just an O.G. summer
[Verse 3: Slo Mo]
Yeah, O.G. summer, you see the clowns (Clowns)
You're impending your meaner, keeping the arena loud (Ahhh)
Lyrics will pierce the grey matter between your brows (Right)
The scenery of my youth [?] to your [?]
I went from a peril to pandling paraphernalia (Uh)
Now I pandle the poetry from here to Australia (Yeah)
Love to the cuz, [?], even the coco (Coco)
We celebrate our roots, then we shoot at the po-po ([?] shot)
Number one in my mind is to swim, never sink (Never)
Rehabilitate and rearrange, I think (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
That's life after twenty-five duckin' the F (Duckin' the F)
Take a [?] at one chance, is it nothing that's left?
Nah, don't try to execute when you weren't educated? (Nah)
You in the [?] medicated or incarcerated
You wanna get paid? Then study how the ballers made it (Uh)
POETIK and the uce Samoan, the crime-related
'94, yo
[Chorus: POETIK, [?] & POETIK and [?] Together]
(In the ghetto) Yo, gots to focus on the good times
Still representin', let the hood shine
(Everywhere I go now) Got my city on my back, carry that
Call the homies on the celly like, "Where the Mary at?"
(Back though) Holla back when you see me on the block, come rolling
Gotta watch for crooked cops patrollin'
(Only in the ghetto, oh, oh) Stay up, don't let the ghetto take you out
I'm reminiscin', been this right here
Just an O.G. summer
[Outro: POETIK]
Summer, summer, summer time (Just an O.G. summer)
[?] (Just an O.G. summer)
Summer, summer, summer time (Just an O.G. summer)
[?] (Just an O.G. summer)
Summer, summer, summer time (Just an O.G. summer)
[?] (Just an O.G. summer)
Summer, summer, summer time (Just an O.G. summer)
[?] (Just an O.G. summer)
