Appreciate it but who are you
Proud of me but you doubted me
I'm the same man why you acting new
Me and gang chilling we on a mission
These women can't even choose
Talking loud but no ambition

This life chose me man I ain't choose it
If you hating on another man
What you doing? What you doing? What you doing?
I'm just tryna give you keys
Nothing in this life come free
Be yourself you can't be me
If they lie to you that ain't your team
Can't just hear them words
Just look at what they doing, that's what they mean
That's what they mean
They'll kill you for that green
They'll kill you for that green
They hate themselves that's why they acting mean

Work on your craft so when that pressure's on
You ain't gon choke
In Levi's song "Summer," the lyrics open with a reflection on the complexities of trust and perception in relationships. The singer confronts an individual who exhibits mixed emotions about their achievements; while they express pride, it’s tinged with skepticism due to past doubt. This contradiction prompts the singer to question the sincerity of their support, emphasizing that their journey and growth should not be undermined by previous negativity. The mention of "me and gang chilling" signifies a collective pursuit of goals, bolstered by camaraderie, suggesting that despite external judgment or distractions, they remain focused on their mission. Here, the singer positions themselves as unbothered by superficial opinions, reinforcing their commitment to authenticity and individualism.
The subsequent verses delve deeper into the theme of ambition, contrasting those who merely "talk loud" without substance to those who actively strive for success. The singer recognizes that many people are motivated by jealousy or insecurity, particularly when they see others ascending, which serves to illustrate a broader commentary on societal competition. The references to music, particularly in the context of hitting the road, suggest a liberation through artistry, hinting that personal fulfillment cannot be dictated by external validation like "views." This choice to embrace music as a calling rather than a career highlights the idea that authenticity and passion are what truly define success, reinforcing the message that life unfolds through choice and that the singer has accepted the path that has been laid for them.
Another critical aspect of the lyrics is the emphasis on self-awareness and discernment. The singer advocates for personal value and warns against entanglements with those who may take advantage of kindness. Lines about "not trusting that girl" and realizing the hollowness of some relationships illustrate a painful yet necessary awakening about what true companionship should feel like. Furthermore, the refrain, “be yourself, you can't be me,” stresses the importance of individuality and self-acceptance, while also critiquing those who fail to understand their own worth. This wisdom gained through experience becomes a tool for navigating challenges, as the singer encourages vigilance against deceit and manipulation, framing authenticity as both a shield and a weapon in interpersonal dynamics.
Finally, the chorus operates as a motivational mantra, laden with vivid imagery of storms and the perennial journey of self-improvement. The metaphor of preparing for rainy days emphasizes resilience; it serves as a reminder that challenges are inevitable, and the key to survival lies in one's preparation and mental fortitude. The line about "work on your craft" calls for dedication to personal development, thereby advocating for the cultivation of skills that will ensure endurance under pressure. The declaration that “it’s still real ones out there” amidst a backdrop of negativity instills a sense of hope and camaraderie, inviting listeners to find solidarity in shared struggles. Ultimately, "Summer" encapsulates a personal journey through the trials of life, encapsulating themes of authenticity, ambition, and survival in the face of disillusionment and envy, mirroring the raw experiences of growth amidst societal challenges.
