Lyrics

[Intro]
Summer's always coming
All I wanna do's survive
But the weather's always changing
I'm just trying to save my life
My life, my life, my life
Like that
[Verse 1]
It's a new verse with a old flow
There's a new world and an old one
He was seventeen back in '01
Now he forty-teen, having no fun
Made him shake some' on a livestream
It was summertime, had his ice cream, but it melt fast
Close your eyes and enjoy it, and it might last
Got a role in a movie, but he typecast
He on Drink Champs, talking with his shot glass
It be like that, I'm a soldier
When I die, say I did it for the culture
Try and live below your means, that's a pro tip
'Cause them streams pay a **** like a slow drip
With my son, watching Bluey like we both Crip
They be scared to try, saying that they underground
Made him hunker down, saying he a prepper now
Had a crazy arm, picked him in the second round
Tore his AC hiking on the second down
Made a comeback, but ain't nobody checkin' now
He ain't stick around, yeah
[Chorus]
Summer's always coming
All I wanna do's get high (Get high)
But the weather's always changing
I'm just trying to save my life
My life, my life, my life (Like, like that)
Like, like that
My life, my life (Like, like that)
My life, my life (Like, like that)
[Verse 2]
When the girl can't get thicker
Like that
And the house can't get bigger
Like that
When you high, but you drank liquor
Feel like life go a lot quicker
How he lame, but he that ****
They in the minor leagues, but I'm pro-black
Like that
I bet he hate his mom, how you know that?
Like that
You got a podcast 'cause you can't rap
Like that
You on some Fresh and Fit shit, talking body counts
I count a body every time I'm on tracks
Like that
Like that (Like that)
[Chorus]
Summer's always coming
All I wanna do's get high (Get high)
All I wanna do is get high
But the weather's always changing
I'm just trying to save my life
My life, my life, my life (Like, like that)
Like, like that
My life (Like, like that)
Like, like that
[Outro]
How come every summer
Everyone
Always says
That it's never gonna end?
Every summer
Everyone
Hopes and prays
That it's never gonna end
My life (All I wanna do)
My life (My life)
Live life, live life
Get high
