[Josiah VoiceNote] When I think summer, the first thought that pops up is happiness. Even that's probably that's quite cliche, not quite true... Summer now just makes me think holidays, so being abroad, before like. The break from school. So seeing cousins, playing games, and not having to care anything. Ummm.. so what, emotions? Happiness. Carefreeness. Ummmmm..... [Chorus] Red is the retina, unread the messages, no p's for beverage, 2 pm breakfast restless as street lights, arrest this sweet life I'm freezing from chilling. x2 Melt me [Verse 1: Obi] Roll of Papyrus Reeds. I'm dazing by you see. Horizon brighter, than a 100 Branson Islands, sea. I'm saying its hot. Thermostat pop. Coz its. Bare Degrees, I'm laying 180, like I wasn't bored of University bags under eyelids, designer, I ain't rocking no Gucci. dripping in my own sauce. That's a whole different type of Goo g, bars are locomotive, poetry in motion, poetry is potent as poems from poet peters What you telling me g? [Verse 2: Tyrell] Went from no sauce to dripping in summer parties I ain't playing like dolls but I got a barbie drinking barley juice mixed some good Bacardi, waist line mad but her truth got me partly anxious path or passion, what's this summers agenda Thinking, will I be the smartest rapper ever? or will I fall in love and forget about it like Dory the Journey is a story, I host shows like Maury, my post code was gory. Home of Giggs & Skepta, But I'm like Konnichiwa to any hater. Later I don't owe you man no paper Only One I owe is U N I and that's later [Verse 3: Obi] My flows dope too man, for now and later Obi one you know me with the skin blacker than Vader like the mannequin feminine, never rolling with fake hers I fly away like blue tits and I need some juice like 2 tits you say thats your girl with the red lippy? why do she blew kiss? heart on her sleeve you know her feelings stay on nudist anyway, lets pour up another glass of lemonade I don't spark up but sparkz will light up the ting like lemon haze! [Chorus] Red is the retina, unread the messages, no p's for breakfast 2 pm breakfast restless as street lights, arrest this sweet life I'm freezing from chilling. x2 Melt me [Josiah VoiceNote] Like, this is my last summer, so maybe, fear for never having another summer holiday again well this will be my last summer... yeah.

[Chorus:] ohhh oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh (multiple ohs) [Verse 2:] Lately I don't know if I've changed scabs from a youth, still tender in pain I Lost track of time the watch on a road with the rails, with the trains , with the shattered clock face I'm in a rat race with the maze locked ain't No Dinner and I'm , tryna Escape but Cheddar every month keep the rodent in the trap And Rap everyday keep the kid from going snap snap Back track Don't look in my mind you'll need a hazmat Thoughts radio active But we're all suicidal right? Every night praying we get radio active like Bruce B, praying we get green like The Incredible, smoke the greenest medicinal I said it all like Take That , im gifted, so i Give This we all dream of explode, blowing up more than TNT or fly in air like BNB I'm Brb, gimme a sec man, im trying get in sync with always getting lost in a track, Life a grand prix, find my mind always racing on a track, imma put it in park, have a seat in the back , imma Buddhist, i'm calm, have a seat and relax or we can t-t-t-t take a ride in my daddys car shit i ain't een got the keys to my daddys car shit nah we don't.. really speak, and its got me like eek, yeah its looking kinda peak and its got me like [Chorus:] ohhh oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh (multiple ohs) [Verse 3:] I thought you said you'd never change huh? i thought you said I was your one huh? got me wishing wishing, that i held onto you longer didn't know any better way back when i was younger didn't know what forever was with a watch on you say its me but really there was never enough of the 4 letter wording ending in E but u know me im greedy like how could i only have one. Forever Young. (shared experience repetition, coz I am foreveer young everyone quiet down, let it, play, we are forever young Verse two heavy metaphors Yo Yo Yo Chorus oh, oh, oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh 'when song ends' everyday we make mistakes everyday we change fleeting seasonal attitudes dampen with habitual residue a stain, a memory, tattooed onto on the neck of woods in which we travel surrounded by giant men descending from royalty, draped in an elegant eye catching viridescent shine which masks the muddy coarse smell of their browNED hardened apparel their heavy arms are stretched out yet they are still able to shield their eyes? or hide them i should say pressed deep into the sockets as if they have seen too much. as if they knew too much.. I, we look up into the skies a nonchalant white. they are silent, a pure manifestation of Tranquility perfection. how do we get there? How do I get there? *Crunch* Shh. I don't have much time. She's coming. Her name is September. She goes by many names The Vibrant Virgo The Lustful Libra *wind* The Forever Young need more, need em all I'm ash ketchum on the topic soon i'll need a bigger wallet but if i nev poor decisions i made with you Ending, Yeah. I'm just tryna get my summer back I'm just tryna get my summer back Last verse amount a pound coin I wish I held onto you longer I was young I didn't know Any better My only one I mean we're both single together, so we're really 2 lonely ones So I thought I'd get more Take a risk Or an investment is what they call it If I Give you away For my own personal gain You could be someone else's Hopefully they don't treat you the Same, See coz I'm greedy 100 more of you is what I'm needing Thirsting over endless possibilities I'm fiending Scheming on what I could achieve with them Baby we should give it up it's dead See I know your worth, I'm only thinking of the short term, like the semester was midget You were depending on me! me me me To give you a better purpose Crying your eyes out losing your shine Listen it's not you it's me! me me me Im living in the now, couldn't care about the later Never present in the present always thinking bout the future, didn't want you now, could've saved you for the future Guess our destinies aren't tied, and I just don't suit ya, hole in your soul, you say I shoot ya up. To have another man lay his hands on you. I can't take. mistress, sync with, lived in, been with, been sicker than nesquik, skin color of nesquik dreams of exploding we blow up more than TNT Praying you all agree and opinions ain't a verse I cut my self and bleed out on a verse Now hop in, take a ride with me inside my daddys Shit I left my keys shit we dont even speak Averse Adverse Dreams of being active on radio All feels temporary Like my smile is It's down side up Keep the system intact, protect us from the cats and bats... Or so they say... You say you will but you haven't yet Owe money to eo You sa My watch is somewhere on a rail road Like I lost track of time like the song was bonus like the arena fuck a rat race, i think I'm a year or so away from finishing (talk about tracks of vehicles on race tracks then mind race Sometimes I really wanna get a way Pick a train , unknown destination and get away So much stress, it doesn't even help to meditate Hop on depart,....leave something at home like oh You weren't Scars from a child still healing stress at work meditation Now you got me like oh! Chorus PostChorus: I'm just tryna get the Summer Back I'm just tryna get my Summer Back not the blue, need the gold with the rose, no woes, stone cold how it goes Bro, watch me grow Scenes replayed bout 100 times When you know each detail to the tee Like hypebeasts of yeezy keep replaying the same old scenes.. but this time its like somethings off... I thought you said never change? (talk about the scene, the child inside, man i feel like i havent changed, for better or for worse, just know im forever young and the me but i cant get past this part wishing we could jet away get away jettison Every goal time limited, no extra time Gotta do this by this on this Coz I know I won't be Forever young

[Instrumental:] Ogo: Summer is memories. It's summer nights, & summer nights in the summer is what makes summer, summer. Summer is spontaeneous, full of hope, joy, dreams & light. Summer is a time for happiness, relaxation. After the flowers have bloomed, summer is a time... Mum: Summer is something that is fun, I look forward to it because it reminds me of Africa, because the weather is lovely. I can go into my garden, I sit down there & enjoy the breeze. And besides, the day light ends around 10:00 or 10:30. You can go out & enjoy the nature of what God has created & erm, its fun.
