Another Summer
213 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
G'd up and others barbecuing
Ain't no telling what your daddy and your momma doing
Chewing on these baby-backs popping bottles with these macks
Everybody swimming, backyard full of women
I'm entertaining folks
Gave the lil' homie twenty dollars just to shine my hundred spokes
Family and friends to me
Everyone pretends to be kin to me
I can't wait until the Fourth of July
To pop some fireworks with my kids
And fly some kites high in the sky
See, it's the family reunion
And down at the church house, they giving up the annual communion
It seems we made it to another summer
Yeah we came and come up
213 is more than friends
Yeah, we like blood brothers
Riding this 'til the wheels fall off
Can you dig that?
We got this summertime anthem for y'all
We did that
[Chorus]
We made it through winter
We made it through fall
We made it through the spring time
Tough times and all
It's good to see
I love the summer
I'm riding with the top down
Let the wind blow
Chillin' with my love
Partying fo' sho'
It feels good to see
I love the summer
Everybody if you with me sing
We got the game on lock
On the paper chase, can't stop
On a roll, still hot
Gotta be top notch
I like the girls ''cause they hot
Plus I know what they want
They want the game that we got
Hold up baby girl I think not
I like the nasty girls from around the way
Hoppin' in my gray drop-top Mercedes
Shouts go out to my sexy ladies
Just in case your man is hating
Tell your boy he better chill (Summertime)
Tell your boy he better chill (Summertime)
[Chorus]
I'm addicted to the sunshine the way it make these women dress
Tank tops, flip flops, make this n**** love the west
Different spots, even though different, it's still crackin'
In Jamaica, Queens I sit back, live and collect the cabbage
It's an affair that every state can relate to
And if you do what I do, then go on and follow suit
From Chi-Town to Diego, all the way back to NY
Stay fly, and never miss a piece of sunshine
When I'm at the church I barbeque for my kinfolk
Watch lil' Elijah and lil' Warren run the football
Got weed, got drink, but most of all the spirit
And it's a blessin' that the world want to hear our music
The summer is an inspiration as much as the fast
And to my my n**** Snoopdewoop, I love you fam'
Riding this 'til the wheels fall off
Can you dig that?
We got this summertime anthem for y'all
We did that
[Chorus]
Yeah, another summer
Kanye West good looking on the beat, nephew
213 reminding y'all put your guns down
Well spent summertime, let's enjoy ourselves
We just want to celebrate
You know what I'm talking about?
It's too hot for all that
Yeah 213
Moving mountains y'all haha
All the time, yeah

Funny how time flies
Funny how one thing leads to another
Funny how mothers cry
Funny how we live at night and in the gutter
Funny how cash rules everything around me
Funny how people never seem to change
Funny how my closest friends is my rebuttal
Seems like it all can change and I can get paid
Whoa!
N** gotta find a way
Find a way to make some money
N** gotta find a way
Find a way to make some cash
Got to find a way
N** gotta find a way
Find a way to make some money
N** gotta find a way
Find a way to make some cash
Got to find a way
I was giving this a lot of thought
Should I trip? Should I not? Should I set this off?
A whole lot of pressure is on my shoulders
My soul is with all my n****z I roll with; so know this
Cut the bulls***, take it back to the music
Use it right, don't matter what you do with it
I'm here to represent the real
I still stayed G'ed up unless must I will
I stayed up all night, I argue and fight by myself; this can't be right
Hmm 'cause if the lights were the sound of the siren
I'd make you n****z get a deal and act wild
I'm for real and I can see through these suckers that dick riding motherf***ers
Yeah, that's me bustin' 'cause I'm a huslter for the chips
And I'm trippin ''cause I'm sick of this s***
Listen
It wasn't about money up front
All a n** wanted was a big gold chain and a blunt
Why? What do you mean?
Living my Auntie Mary and I ain't having a damn thang
I can't get a job; I might as well steal and rob
Man, life is so hard
Hanging in my homie garage while other n****z
Doing killing for a living in the city of stars
I got a lick but I ain't got caught
N** slippin' leaving a sack by the bar
And I seen where he set it, thought he had hid it
Nope, and I'm about to go get it
Come up, I gotta stay run up
Left eye open while I'm sleep with the gun up
Please don't run up about that money I'm funny
My n** you'll get done up
N** gotta find a way
Find a way to make some money
N** gotta find a way
Find a way to make some cash
Got to find a way
