Yeah There are certain parts of life That you wish you could just Do over Especially when you're young And you have no idea..that certain moments They aren't just lost They've been stolen from you Picture a friday in the summertime Circa 7:25, sun's about to punch the clock Kids race, the faster gives the slower one a running start Girls double-dutching, but their fun is at a sudden stop Once they hear that Mr. Softee jingle coming up the block "Momma, momma, can I have a chocolate and vanilla cone "Not until you eat some real food! You know your dinner's cold Everything appears copacetic But for one little boy, his swollen head is so pathetic, check it Someone diminished innocence, ain't replenish it Looking at these kids like, "Who took it? One of you ninjas did Your laughter is a clanging in my ears But my anger's misdirected by haranguing all my peers 'Cause i saw the dude who took it, he looked a tad suspicious Black hoodie when it's hot enough to fry a batch of chicken Picked the pocket of a child, must be missing his morality Robbed me of my youth and replaced it with mortality Unh, I wish that I could run it back But I was never fast, we've already covered that The young way I looked at life is never coming back But dang homie, can't a brother get his summer back I want my summer back I want my summer back The young way I looked at life is never coming back But dang homie, can't a brother get his summer back The vendetta stretches back several years prior '86 when the astronauts and Bias died getting higher Thought that taking Uncle Daryl in that accident Was sure to have the bul imagining, frantic panicking '89, kids were dying over Pumps and Jordans Young, black and bloody, only way they'd come report us Carbon monoxide poisoning, plane crashes Threw it all at me, wasn't phased, I remained emphatic But when he came again, showed his ugly face of hazard Eyes of never-ending fire, skin stained with maggots Played his ace of spade, knew he would create the habit In my brain, sane got replaced with 60 days of sadness Elated camping, at the pool, laying, basking At the court, making fadeaway baskets, he erased the planning Surprised I didn't piss my pants half the time Hard to grasp being alive when you think of death to pass the time Unh, I wish that I could run it back But I was never fast, we've already covered that The young way I looked at life is never coming back But dang homie, can't a brother get his summer back I want my summer back I want my summer back The young way I looked at life is never coming back But dang homie, can't a brother get his summer back Tryna figure this enigma, dying has such a stigma Finality within fatalities, your body's zipped up Your memories are ripped up like Terrell Owens You even conscious of the fact you met your moment? You may never know it Does the afterlife exist within astounding madness Optimistic? Not exactly with these sounds of blackness The fact is I don't know just what the facts are All these pressing questions, then I thought, "Why don't I ask God "Lord, when I pass away, what's the feeling like Do I simply close my eyes and You reveal the light Is Saint Peter really keeper of the gates With a zillion people waiting for the speaker of your fate If I'm nice to Mike, listen to my mom, eat my veggies Do my homework, stay awake in church, will You let me See Your mansion I've imagined, maybe stay there for a while I'll even draw You pictures every day to make You smile His response, "Well Joe, I can understand your worry The deepest: will you leave your mother's hand in a hurry But fret not, I promise it's painless What that thief came to steal, I'll make sure it's stainless You know I have an older Son and when He had to face death Wasn't worried or concerned about the day I'd take His breath He loved as commanded and healed when it was needed And preached to everybody 'bout His Father He believed in, so Be His friend, heed His lead and leave the rest to Me And you won't have to wait to die for you to rest in peace But your life, you gotta let it be You don't have to fear, every task is left to Me to dead the dreaded beast Tried to steal, but he really caught a loss Main reason that he ran, in your eyes, he saw the cross And with that, I screamed out, "Yeah fool, you better run You can have that summer, God will give me even better ones Unh, I wish that I could run it back But I was never fast, we've already covered that The young way I looked at life is never coming back But dang homie, can't a brother get his summer back I want my summer back I want my summer back The young way I looked at life is never coming back But dang homie, can't a brother get his summer back Yeah But should I even want it back It's gone now I couldn't get it back if I wanted to Three months full of beautiful days Lost forever... but I fear death a lot less now So you can keep that little summer, Jack
