Jean Grae - Before The Summer Broke Lyrics
[Intro]I spent about a half'a monthThinking about the universal laws of karma, bullshitAnd all that everybody really wantsTo contrast to what they need will make you *****in’ want to *****in’ pull clipsFrom everything you’ve ever seenWind it back at half-speedJust to find the part where niggas lied to youSo check my scene if it applies to youIf not, ***** it; turn it off, bye to you[Verse 1]But anyway, I’m back againHope you don't miss me, Black FMFeet firmly planted in the clouds as alwaysA sack of dreams deferred, I'll leave em in the hallwayDon’t worry, you won’t have to see emCoincidence you want the bars, I want my freedomI guess this is the necessary lead-inBefore the scars, loss, boys, feelings oh goshKnow when Jeanie be going in on her demons, how farAnd not even revealing all the cardsI deal, I dealt with blows beyond the belt, pauseShit that if I told you, you’d be drinking like myself, godBut I’m all right without a reason to do well, starMy Mama was the last thing I wrote the tales forInside I’m tailspinning down with napalmStrapped to my brain and on my back a flamethrowerOh, you love it, what you came forI tell myself that, I don’t really give a ***** what they wantBut they paying for it, so pay it forwardTry to think of it like that to save thoughtsI'd be like, I’ll be right back in the same songNever return and leave the happiest of days moreCause I don’t get what you be putting me in lanes forIt’s *****ing music, what you giving it a name for[Hook x2]I’ve been sayin' everything’s going fine, just takin' some days offLike everything don’t pay it no mind, been puttin' a face onBut mother*****er, I’ve been goddamn lyin', I’m takin' the grace offTo go back in time, before the summer broke[Verse 2]Well, I guess this is what I aimed forIt's *****ing music, what you giving it a name forI don’t get what you be putting me in lanes forNever return and leave the happiest of days moreI'd be like, I’ll be right back in the same songI try to think of it like that, but it seems wrongPay it forward, they paying for itI don’t really give a ***** whatever they wantThey love it right, it’s what you came forI tell myself that, it ain't moreStrapped to my brain, on my back a flamethrowerInside I’m tailspinning down with napalmMy Mama was the thing I wrote the tales forI’m all right without a reason, doing well, falseShit if I told you you’d be drinking like myself, godHow far I got in not revealing all the cardsOh GOSHGot Jeanie dishing on her demonsAfter the scars, loss, boys, feelingsI guess this is the necessary heart bleedingYou want the bars, I want freedomDreams deferred, you don’t see ‘emKeeping my word, so no fleeingFeet on the ground, alwaysYou can’t stop the wheels of a lost day[Hook]
