SUMMER
Tonia and the Beat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn me up in the headphones
90 thousand all blues that summer
90 thousand all blues that summer
That summer that summer
90 thousand all blues that
90 thousand all blues that summer
Pourin up drank on 6 (my stomach)
She want the best of me but she can't have it (she can't have it)
Had to look in the mirror and get rid of habits
I remember them days that I had to go stash it
You do it to dick eat I do it for passion
I lost so much shit to get where I'm at (where I'm at)
So I'm going out crashing
I can't let em trick me out of my spot (my spot)
And I learned a few lessons
Never keep all that shitt at yo spot (yo crib)
But I gotta count my blessings
Cause I did this shit off a knot (a knot)
The cough syrup suppressing
This shit so dark
A awful lot (a lot what I said)
I put this shit on the flo
9800 that's my type flow
Remember I ain't have no hustle had to make niggas pay respect to me yea
This shit ain't on me it's in me
I gotta chill out with the semis
I pray this shit touch to the ceiling
She ain't wanna see me do good now I'm winning
I just took 40 over to Emit's
They ain't see the picture now they copy image
We slide up in Maybachs and foreign interior
The paper ain't never gone ever deter
I got about 30 bad bitches in here
When I'm on the freeway my eyes in the rear
The blue tips be helping me stay sane
I cannot put all my trust in the bank
I believed in myself before all the fame
I was down at the bottom & leveled up rank
I was going in and out the bank
Love JP Morgan
Shoutout Chase
So many people come behind me
I nun been put in some situations and I could not fold
When the drought came it just made me love to grind (what I said)
90 thousand all blues that summer
Pourin up drank on 6 (my stomach)
She want the best of me but she can't have it (she can't have it)
Had to look in the mirror and get rid of habits
I remember them days that I had to go stash it
You do it to dick eat I do it for passion




I lost so much shit to get where I'm at (where I'm at)
So I'm going out crashing
