Till Last Summer

[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 fuck, 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 shit, who would spend cake to get this trash" So, New Years Eve 2005, I decided that I would write The illest shit 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, niggas down with me Got back with my girl, she can finally breathe I went from a pass 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?
