Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Right now inside the place to be
Big up the one JAY-Z and B
Slowing down da dance
To a different type a speed
(Hear wah)
You know it’s Cool and Dre, dey pon de beat
You know a bloodclaht heat
(Right)
[Verse 2]
Let's make love in the summertime, yeah
On the sands, beach sands, make plans
To be in each other's arms
(Let it breathe, let it breathe)
[Verse 3]
I wanna drown in the depths of you
Yeah, yeah
Where the water’s so blue
(So blue, so blue)
So blue, so blue
[Verse 4]
I need to take my time, oh yeah
To show you something real
(So real)
So real, so real
(Let it breathe, let it breathe)
So real
I want you to come inside right now
So you know just how I feel
How I feel
(Let it breathe, let it breathe)
[Verse 5]
We never been this far from the shore
We might not ever go back anymore
Got you all in your emotions
Hit you with the force then
Tell me your desires
I won’t ever tire
[Verse 6]
You rather play the game than to throw the fight
Boy you know that ain't right
[Verse 7]
When I'm needing your affection
I need that attention
Up and down motion
Come swim in my ocean
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 8]
Let's make love in the summertime, yeah
On the sands, beach sands, make plans
To be in each other's arms
(Let it breathe, let it breathe)
[Verse 9]
I wanna drown in the depths of you
Yeah yeah
Where the waters so blue
So blue, so blue
[Verse 10]
I brought my sand to the beach
Hopped out the 'Lamb with the sheep
Skid rugs on the floor
We hug, make love on the seats
We tried to hide in the Hills
We watch the sky turn peach
Summers light, like
Summers night, it’s like
Christ masterpiece
She taste like Corona Light, sweet
Even the lime gotta squeeze
She gave me a little swig
To chase behind my weed
If I can stay in her hair forever
That’ll be fine by me
I don’t have no concept of time
Even with a rose gold concept on me
I remember summer nights in the projects
Bullet rounds interrupting my chi
When the worst thing that can happen
Zipped up his jacket and ran back down the street
In Bellaire, only the nights get cold
I wrap the yellow jacket around B
It’s not lost on me
Music has my kids sound asleep
[Verse 11]
Let's make love in the summertime, yeah
On the sands, beach sands, make plans
To be in each other's arms
(Let it breathe, let it breathe)
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 12]
I need to take my time to show you something real
(So real, so real) This is real
I want you to come inside right now so you know just how I fell
How I feel
[Verse 13]
Let's make love in the summertime
Let's make love in the summertime
Be in each other's arms
(Let it breathe, let it breathe)
[Verse 14]
Let's make love in the summertime
On the sands, beach sands, make plans
To love in each other's arms
(Mmm, mmm)
[Verse 15]
Love, when love neva change, you kno', people change, you kno'
Love neva change, love is universal ting
Love is goin’ to express itself
As a form of forgiveness and compassion, yeah
For each other, yeah
