Summer In The City
The Boys and Girls Club Lyrics

Niggas got bankroll
There are individuals with large sums of money

Stacking up pesos in the city
People are making and accumulating wealth in the city

Killas be lurkin
There are dangerous people looking for victims

Tryna merk something in the city
These individuals are trying to kill someone

Bitches be suckin and
Women are engaging in sexual activities

First night fuckin up in the city
These women are having sex with people they just met

Police be rolling and
Law enforcement is actively patrolling the area

Foot patrolling in the city
Police officers are patrolling on foot

When the shit go down
When things get chaotic

Better have yo heat
It's important to have a weapon for your own protection

Niggas hit the ground
When gunshots are fired, people drop to the ground for safety

When them shots released
When guns are fired

When that money in route
When money is being transported

That's when I'm most pleased
The singer is happiest when they are making money

I'll lay a nigga out
The singer is willing to seriously harm someone for money

For my currency
The motivation for the artist's actions is money

Known among those
The artist is recognized and respected by certain people

Spitting up flows
The singer is rapping

Shoveling snow
The singer is distributing drugs

From a key into O's
The artist is cutting and packaging drugs

The criminal type
The artist has a history of criminal activity

Niggas that fight
The artist has been involved in physical altercations

That been to pen
The singer has spent time in prison

For taking a life
The artist has killed someone in the past

Realer than ever
The singer is more genuine/authentic now than before

No one does it better
The singer believes they are the best at what they do

Every one dies
Everyone will eventually pass away

Music lives on forever
The artist's music will continue to exist even after they are gone

No need to cry
There is no reason to be sad when the artist dies

When I'm dead on that stretcher
When the singer passes away

I come back to life
The singer's music will continue to be enjoyed by fans

When they put on my record
When people listen to the artist's music

You feeling my presence
The artist's music has an impact on listeners even when the artist is not physically present

Tho I am not there
Even when absent

The name by itself
The singer's name alone can intimidate people

Make a nigga run scared
The artist's reputation and name can make people afraid

We after the money
The singer and their associates are focused on making money

So haters beware
Those who dislike the singer should be cautious

Nothing can you save you
No one can protect you from harm

Not even prayer
Even prayer cannot save you from danger

Shots in the air
Guns are being fired into the sky

For the rydas that's gone
The gunshots are in memory of those who have passed away

Its a family affair
The singer and their associates are like family

Over here where im from
In the artist's hometown

These niggas will shoot you
People in this area are willing to use firearms

That's just what we use to
The use of guns is common in this area

We beefing with them
There is a contentious relationship between the singer's associates and others

And the feeling is mutual
The other party feels the same way

Money and power
Wealth and influence

Is made up of hours
Success requires a significant amount of time and effort

Of infinite effort
A never-ending amount of work must be put in

From goals to devour
From conquering goals to achieving domination

Stick to the code
Adhere to a set of standards

That's what i was told
The singer was taught to follow this code

The a r 15
A type of firearm

Got me feeling empowered
The artist feels more powerful with a firearm

This ones for the city
This song is dedicated to the artist's hometown

Cus niggas is witty
People in this area are quick and clever

And everyone knows
Everyone is aware of this fact

The homies get busy
The artist and their associates are not afraid to take action

Bitches they see me
Women are aware of the singer's presence

And wonder who is he
They are curious about the singer

Oh its that nigga they calling gbeezy
The singer is known by a nickname

He's one of those
The artist is similar to others in this area

That be bringing the flame
The artist is known for being confrontational

But if u bring problems
If someone starts a problem with the singer

He bringing the pain
The singer will retaliate and cause harm

Niggas is marks
These individuals are easy targets

Not talking twain
Not referring to the author Mark Twain

We bombing on niggas
The artist and their associates are attacking someone

Im talkin Hussein
The singer is referencing former dictator Saddam Hussein

Betta stay woke
Be vigilant and aware of your surroundings

The devil dont sleep
Dangerous individuals are always active

There's always a plot
There's always a plan to harm someone

To make niggas bleed
To cause someone physical harm, often through violence

Ready or not
Whether you're prepared or not

Shots gonna come
Gunshots will be fired

Niggas get chopped
People die as a result

Wit 50 round drum
A firearm with a large amount of ammunition

Thats too many rocks
It's difficult to avoid being hit with that many bullets

For you to out run
It's difficult to escape the danger

Niggas get boxed
People die and are buried

And buried too young
Many people die before reaching old age

Others get locked
Some individuals are incarcerated

For bustin them guns
They were arrested for using a firearm

Sentenced to life
They received a prison sentence for the rest of their life

Before 21
They received a life sentence before they were 21 years old

Round and round
Repeating the same thing over and over again

Thats how the shit it go
That's how things are in this environment

You bound to drown
You are likely to fail and experience negative consequences

If you coming up short
If you're not successful

The hardest around
The artist and their associates are the toughest

Hold down the fort
Maintain a presence in a location to protect someone or something

Some niggas is clowns
Some individuals are not to be taken seriously

Pawns on the board
People who are being used and are not in control

Everyones watching
People are paying attention to their actions

Time perform
Now is the time to act

Multiple rounds
Many things are happening at once

Attack like a swarm
A group of people attacks in a coordinated way like a swarm of bees

We lettin em fly
They are firing guns

If you dont conform
If you do not follow the norms or expectations

You dont wanna buy
You don't want to experience the negative consequences

What you can't afford
Those negative consequences may be too costly

Betta get right
Get your life together

Niggas get shot every night
People are frequently shot in this area

Dont take it too light
Don't underestimate the danger of the situation

Niggas always wanna fight
Some individuals are always looking for confrontation

Take this advice
Listen to this guidance

So you can hold onto your life
It may help you avoid deadly situations

Dont be surprised
Don't be caught off guard

When them niggas pull up
When those individuals arrive

On yo side
To your location

Watch for the drop
Expect something to happen

These bitches might
These women may

Work for the ops
Be working with the opposition (e.g. the police)

Get to the gwap
Acquire wealth

Get what you need and then swap
Acquire what you want, use it, and then trade for something else

To something legit
Exchange for something legal

Some niggas dont know
Some people aren't aware

When to quit
When they should stop doing something

Minimize risk
Reduce the chance of something dangerous happening
