Philly

Take em back to the block Meek

Middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

In the middle of the summer

I used to play the block all night til the sun came up

Everybody got they gun game up

In the middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

Stack all winter just to stunt in the summer

Ridin in my new camaro sometimes I wonder

Will it take me under or will it make me stronger

Thinking the times when I was broke it only gave me hunger

Shorty walking through the block it only made me wonder

My homies was sellin d**e and doin jay-z numbers

Niggas smoochin wrist was cold and throwin a c numbers

They on it was from the zone used to say we youngins

But we was ready though

Around the time when all the rap was on the radio

Me and my niggas on the block with hammers heavy though

I used to put it in my hand ain't wanna let it go

Ain't wanna let it go no

The work was low the numbers was right

Used to play the summer league a couple youngins was nice

They ain't make it to the league cause it'll f**k up your life

In the middle of the summer when you f**king with white

Middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

In the middle of the summer

I used to play the block all night til the sun came up

Everybody got they gun game up

In the middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

Charlie nix marching through screamin stop the violence

He had will smith with him tried to stop the wildin

But as soon as they left the hood man shots was fired

Ambulances rushin somebody mama cryin

They say the good don't make it here

Ain't no fightin hammertime and they gon take it there

North rushin cops lock you like jamaican hair

Young boul sixteen and got eighty years

Middle of the summer people cooking out

Oldheads lookin out

Rest in peace tears for the soldiers that got tooken out

I was in the streets momma told me to be in the house

Ten o'clock I was on the block moving in and out

City of brotherly love I was only thirteen I seen a puddle of blood

Grown man lying there he got one in his mug

His grandma screaming 'told you about selling them *** '

Middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

In the middle of the summer

I used to play the block all night til the sun came up

Everybody got they gun game up

In the middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

It was the middle of the summer but it was feeling like the winter

July was feeling like december

We ball hard to the finish uh

They say I'm cold cause I'm a winner

We had a quarter brickies

Half of birdies

Stash box ride super dirty

Tryna get that money

Ziplocks nose candy

Back to back in them black caddies

And we said this is our summer and we taking it there

I'm all up in this mirror like look at this audamir

Standing in my rear while starin at this painted mirror

Still tryna get it square

Super fly how we live

Aw knocked out lights comin knocked out mean a bike's comin

Smellin two stroke

These philly streets will make you lose hope

Her son was murdered now she use coke

It was the

Middle of the summer

Middle of the summer

In the middle of the summer

I used to play the block all night til the sun came up

Everybody got they gun game up

In the middle of the summer
