[Intro]
See summer's the season of change
It's the shortest season
But lives can alter, DRASTICALLY
Hehehe, don't I know it
So ima tell you my summer story
Follow me...
[Verse 1]
I used to be the dude you'd see usually actin stupidly
Cause happiness was new to me, that was true indeed
So used to being alone that when I got my cell phone
The only numbers was mom, grandma, and uncle
But, socially, so many, people got to knowin me
So funny, no more cold shoulders, I was overheated
Considered handsome, then I got so conceited
I holla'd at chicks, talking like I was supposed to beat it
It wasn't lust it was love, but f**, it wasn't enough
Cause I still felt hollow inside
All the loneliness was bottled inside
But I had to swallow my pride, and try not to cry
See, the winter days made tear streaks a dead give away
In my face, its a waste of time
The popular outkast, the strangest guy
And nothin could of changed my mind
Till Last Summer...
[Verse 2]
You see, musically, dude's would be hatin on the fact
That I could make another track and it would basically be crack
They would say that it was crap; a mistake and use some wax
"Yeah you can play the piano, but basically you're whack
You can't write for sh**, who would spend cake to get this trash"
So, New Years Eve 2005, I decided that I would write
The illest sh** i've ever written in my life
It would be an open letter to these hoes and fellas
Overzealous at times but overall my own vendetta was set
See my problem is, I hardly keep it guarded
Cause Charles is open hearted
Smart with most, but emotionally lethargic, and retarded
The more I got in the booth, and sat down
And jot down the truth, I never felt shot down, or stupid
Some hated but the others spread love
When I put out "From The Desk Of..."
Last Summer
[Verse 3]
You see, ladies is pimps too
So they brush their shoulders off
Blow you off, unless you got dough
Then they blow you off
I was gettin vexed cause, I ain't get respect
And I don't roll dolo, no riding in a set
And mind you this was September, school had just started
Even in uniforms, everybody's lookin fresh
I had, regular slacks, a tie dye shirt and vest
No diamonds on my neck, di-diamonds on my neck
Smokin pounds of green, don't amount to dreams
I'm goin out my mind, tryna find some peace
Then I found the team, n***as down with me
Got back with my girl, she can finally breathe
I went from a pa** runner after school
To an attraction, a black hummer, traffic moves
And if I crash, bum, well that's bad for you
All I know is last summer I made drastic moves
Who knew?
