what . color . is . your . summer ?

lyrics

hook that only happens once & shit:

I can be your canvas when you're painting
or your umbrella when it's raining
kittens and the dogs
life's not a biotch
it just depends how you treat her
meda,
stay in touch like thee screen on a kiosk
so when I leave ya'll
dream on
dream on
dream on 


trying 2 make an album is like trying 2 make an outfit
from scratch
mixing fabrics
mix and match it
mix it mastered
think you got a banger then you hang it on a hanger
and hoping that a stranger hears it and they want it in a lives and in their closets
then they smile and then they cop it
and they tell they friends about it
than a label starts 2 like it treat you like an object
then they break you like a promise
just trying 2 make a profit
but you're really just a prophet

but your rump aint got no kiss marks
thinking you should kickstart 
but seeing you got this far
by working not just wish hard
but your pockets low on swiss chard

with them real ass bills 
you need a full course meal
but that home cooked trill 
just don't sell
damn how you feel?

everybody eating bacon
out promoting  satan
but ya soul aint sold 
but ya money needs saving
own your  own masters and I'm still slaving
scarier than wes craven



I'm just trying not 2 curse a lot try 2 work a lot
and hope one day it's worth a lot
a couple lots
a couple acres
a couple spots
fewer neighbors
we all need that life


we started from thee bottom but aint everybody here
isn't  every single year everybody's year?
yea


that's why I write so many kinds songs
cuz you never know which one will be thee one 2 get you on

it's a cold world hope this keeps you warm
