Dress Like It's Summer (Summertime)

Down on the corner there's a
horn playing Summertime
As if the melody could
cause a change in the sky
I hear it loud and cleary
when the weatherman speaks
Says it go'n keep on raining
everyday this week
So I dress like it's summer
when it's fifty degrees
And I told you honey I need
Sunshine please
I can't escape gun violence
and I can't trust the police
Skies up above won't you give me
Sunshine please
And on the corner a stray bullet is fired
and someone's caught in between
And I'm finding it harder and harder
to believe in anything
But I hear it loud and clearly yeah
when the ?? speak
It could happen anytime
and the next one could be me
So I dress like it's summer
When it's fifty degrees
Well I told you honey
I need sunshine please
I can't escape gun violence
and I can't trust the police
Skies up above won't you give me
Sunshine
Turn up the tube
I can't read the news
And I don't want to be uninvolved
But what am I to do?
It might sound crazy to you
Clocking the guys like I do
Well my culmination
is making this prison a paradise
So I dress like it's summer
When it's fifty degrees
And I told you honey I need
Sunshine please
I can't escape gun violence
and I can't trust the police
Skies up above won't you give me
Sunshine please
So I dress like it's summer
When it's fifty degrees
Well I told you honey I need
Sunshine please
I can't escape gun violence
and I can't trust the police
Skies up above won't you give me
Sunshine please
