Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hot town summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin` dirty and gritty
I been down isn`t it a pity
Doesn`t seem to be a shadow in the city

All around people lookin` half dead
Walkin` down the sidewalk out of their match head
But at night it`s a different world
Go out and find the girl
Come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it will be alright

[Chorus:]
And baby don`t you know that you forget it
The day can be like the night
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city

Cool town evening in the city
Dressed so fine and look so pretty
Cool cat lookin` for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I reason like a bus stop

Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the roof top
But night is a different world
Go out and find the girl
Come on come on let`s dance all the night
Despite the heat it will be all right

[Chorus]

But at night it`s a different world
Go out and find the girl
Come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it will be alright

[Chorus]

Hot town summer in the city then again a cool town
Evening in the city
Than the back of my neck gettin` dirty and gritty
Livin` in the city

In the summer town day
A cool town
A cool girl




Have fun
Evening in the city

Its just me, bored at the house...

Amazon basics mic stand, in my right hand...
by myself man, its only me and my high plant...
I got a high plan, that only works when you're high...
start in with Iran, POTUS can do it, why can't I?...
Open up my hand held portable device...
Sent out a couple text but I aint got no one to reply...
Its not a sad life but Im feelin like I should die...
I was in lockdown before Corona even arrived...
and somethin happened...wear I found peace of mind...
right on time...because the people started losin their minds...
just unwind...I wanna take us back when things were aligned....
and remind...
human kind...
to be kind...
during this quarentine...
for the COVID One Nine...
Get Behind...
Masterminds...
Virus Predesigned...
Your death colorblind...
Wanna walk? dont whine...
If you meet your demise...
you were warned for your life...

but its just me bored at the house...
