Summer '22 Lyrics

It's been a crazy year, forget a crazy summer

And we're only over halfway

Certain situations mentally and physically I had to part ways

Building deeper bonds that helped me make it through the dark days

Blue skies and sunshine and good vibes

All of them aligning to alleviate the heartbreak

Sink into my seat and watch the scenery

Train riding, eyes upon the greenery

Life has still been moving at a fast pace

But bun that, I'm slowing down on my terms

No rat race, don't run that

Fuck that, and fuck you if you think I shouldn't shun that

Working on myself because I want that

Nah there ain't no trophy or no prize

Just the journey on my terms, yeah I won that

Percieving certain people on a pedestal

I let them loose and energies I knew I had to cut back

And they don't even know it

No need to even tell 'em when it's showing

See how they manoeuvre out my life as I keep growing

And it's telling

They say that life's chaotic but

In certain ways it really is poetic

Storylines that line up in a way that makes me feel like I was putting in no effort

Guess that insta wisdom wasn't lost on me

Fixing up my routine, time out for my child and them

The one who's deep inside, who comes alive

When tryna sleep and keeps on begging for that blue screen

Looking after him yeah that's my duty

Gleaning something from my labour

Be creative, yeah that's truly where the fruits be

Feed the spirit, higher living when consuming

Music, art and superhero movies

Yeah, taking longer walks with me and I, to the park, to the city

To the shop, when it's hot, when it's chilly

When I'm stressed, when I'm not, regardless, how I'm feeling

Just spitting, to myself

Play Ye, play Nas, play Pac, play Biggie

Play Jay, play Em, play Cole, King Kenny

Inspired as I shoot through

All these videos on YouTube

And it's midnight feeling fruitful

Then it's 5am I choose to

Just self indulge

I feel my inner child is acting out

So I reel him back and help him home

Feeding him my favourite scenes

Spider Man to Michael Jack

Spark that magic, all that talent, all that make believe

That wonderment, that made me me

Set the time machine, I'm finding that

Fuck all this growing up, reclining back

And acting like your life is over

Cuz you're turning thirty

Nah the older I've been getting

The more that light's been glowing

And the more that I've been feeling certi

This summer yeah's been something else

Volume three or four, I've lost track, ask the Lord they got that

Either way I felt this coming, Hell

From the moment that I stepped in

2022 came with the blues a year anew

With Covid testing

Then my spaceship getting wrecked and

To my girlfriend maybe getting pregnant

To my girlfriend becoming my fucking ex and

Then me sleeping on this couch at 4am instead of being home

All curled up in my fucking bedroom

It's calm, don't watch that

It's all part and parcel bruv I learnt my lessons

Manoeuvred certain situations

Steering clear of certain bredrin

Had to go there on the way to get where I'm getting

Seeing every up and down like they're the weirdest blessing

But a blessing still, think this has been my clearest session

So what it do? I'm coming through

My pen'll set fire to summer '22
