Dear summer, I know you gon' miss me
For we been together like Nike Airs and crisp tees
...Gimme couple years, I might just sneak in
A couple words and like peaches and herb
...I do this in my slumber summer
I ain't none of these half-assed newcomers, you know how I do summer
I drop heat, when you bring the sun up
To my beloved, think we need some time away
They say if you love it, you should let it out its cage
And if it comes back you know it's there to stay
It's tugging, at my heart, but this time apart is needed
Still shine light down on all my peers
I know they weird... some queer, I still want them to share
And all the success I received, I know you can't believe
I still love 'em but they don't love me
They like the drunk uncle in your family
You know they lame, you feel ashamed, but you love 'em the same
Listen here summer baby, I just believe it's the right thing to do
I got a brand new chick, corporate America
She showing me a lot of action right now
And I know you put me on my feet and all, but
I mean, it's time for me to grow
You gotta let me go baby, you gotta let me go
I'm done for now, so one for now
Possibly forever, we had fun together
But like all good things, we must come to an end
Please show the same love to my friends
Dear summer
