The Summer
E.D.M. Nation Lyrics

Time for reflection
It's time to look back and think about what is really important

Niggas always gotta whole lot to say
People always have something to say, but it doesn't always mean they have something valuable to say

But don't have half the investments
Those same people who have a lot to say often don't have any resources to back up their words

Back and forth on 85, no time for the stressing
Driving on the highway, there's no time to be worried about small things

Even if I gotta take it nigga imma find me a blessing.
No matter what obstacles come my way, I will still find a way to succeed

Suns out guns out
When the sun is out, people are more likely to act out in violence

I was always the smart nigga
The singer considers themselves intelligent

But any disrespect and we gone dumb out
If anyone disrespects the artist, they will retaliate with violence

Soon as the sun out
As soon as the sun is up

All the beef come out
People are more likely to start conflicts when they are feeling more confident in the sun

And they ain't tryna make the band when niggas bring that drum out
When people start using violent tactics such as guns, the consequences can be severe

Niggas had clips
People had firearms

Niggas had chips
People had wealth and power

We was all over the city even though we ain't have whips
Despite not having cars, the people in the group had a presence around the city

We was living wild
Their lifestyle was reckless and dangerous

We ain't have sense
The group was not making wise decisions or using good judgement

Looking back them was the best times even though we ain't have shit.
Despite not having many resources, the group looks back fondly on those times

Can't wait to make that call and tell mama I made it
The singer is looking forward to achieving something great and sharing it with their mother

Fuck all the niggas that hated
The singer does not care about the people who did not support them

Your bitch say all of my songs is her favorite
The artist's music is popular with some people

That why she sing along when they play it
People enjoy the artist's music so much that they sing along to it

But this ain't a song along
Despite people singing along to the music, it's not meant to be a sing-along song

How many bitches am I gone bring along
The singer is considering how many women they will bring with them

Gone of the liquor it got me thinking wrong
The artist is under the influence of alcohol, which is clouding their judgement

Had to get right cuz I was living wrong
The singer recognizes that they made some bad decisions in the past and wants to make things right now

Time for progression
It's time for the singer to move forward in a positive way

If you ain't living your right then why's mine in the question
If you are not living your life correctly, then how can you question my choices?

Don't throw rocks at the sun
It's foolish to criticize someone who is far more successful than you

You niggas can't reach
The people who are throwing rocks are not at the same level as the artist

And you looking like sheep with all that passive aggression
Those who criticize while not taking action are weak and ineffective

And we been at you niggas necks like Jim Crow
The singer has been in conflict with these people for a long time, just like Jim Crow laws had a long-lasting effect on society

Niggas ain't solid, them niggas change how the wind blow
The people who are criticizing are not trustworthy and change their opinions easily

They don't know what they in for
Those who talk negatively about the artist are not prepared for the potential consequences

Tryna get ahead
People are always trying to advance their own goals and interests

You get a lil bread and now everybody kinfolk
When you have money or power, people who were not previously interested in you will start trying to get close to you

Somethings gotta give
Sometimes you need to make changes in order for things to improve

Gotta get it by all means nigga get it how you live
The singer is saying that people should do whatever they need to do in order to achieve success

And don't eat where you shit
Don't create problems for yourself by mixing your personal life with your professional or financial life

Always keep a lil gas in case you have to burn a bridge
Be prepared to cut ties with people who are not beneficial to your goals

Sometimes I hit the weed and I feel like I can flyyyyyy
The artist sometimes gets high and feels invincible

How many women could I fuck from each and every state
The artist is wondering how many women they could sleep with in different parts of the country

How many of my homies gone behind a deadly fate
The singer is reflecting on how many of their friends have died violent deaths

How many P's to throwaway till I should hit the brakes
The singer is considering how much money they can spend before they need to stop and reassess their life

Scattered thoughts fiddle through my conscious when sativa bakes
When the artist smokes marijuana, they have some random or disjointed thoughts

Gone off that henny and remy, I'm on hemi
The artist is drunk and feeling good

Moving fast blowing through cash I'm on stimmy
The artist is spending money quickly while feeling exhilarated

Bitches all up in my face and race who want win me
Many women are interested in the singer and trying to win them over

Look I don't got the space nor place now gone shimmy
The artist doesn't have time or patience for anyone who is not contributing to their success

I'm living like the opposite of right
The singer is living a lifestyle that is not morally or mentally healthy

In the opposite of bright
The singer's life is not full of hope or positive prospects

I'm the opposite of tight
The singer is not careful or cautious

With the opposite of lite
The artist's life is not free or unburdened

Or the opposite of slight
The artist's presence is not subtle or understated

Without the opposite of quite
Without the opposite of being quiet or reserved

And got the opposite of spite so what that tell you huh
Despite all of these negative traits, the singer is not harboring negative intentions towards anyone else

Everything that go around come in a full sphere
What goes around, comes around eventually

Which make it hard being evasive a full fare
It's difficult to avoid consequences when everything comes full circle

Even on bad day I'm giving a full share
Even on a bad day, the artist is giving their best effort to succeed

To a chick that need a gentleman ready to pull hair huh
The singer is trying to win over a woman who wants a confident and assertive man
