[Intro: Francis and the Lights]
Oh, oh, oh, incredible!
I would… incredible!
Everything…
[Verse 1: Chance The Rapper]
Socks on concrete, jolly rancher kids,
I was talkin' back and now I gotta stay at grandma's crib,
Bunch of tank top, nappy-headed bike-stealin' Chatham boys,
None of my niggas ain't had no dad,
None of my niggas ain't have no choice.
JJ, Mikey, Lil Derek and them,
79th street was America then,
Ice cream truck and the beauty supply,
Blockbuster movies and Harold's again.
We still catching lightnin' bugs
When the plague hit the backyard,
Had to come in at dark 'cause the big shawtys act hard.
Okay now, day camp at Grand Crossing
First day, niggas shootin',
Summer school get to losin' students
But the CPD gettin' new recruitment.
Our summer don't, our summer, our summer don't get no shine no more,
Our summer die, our summer time don't got no time no more.
[Chorus: Chance The Rapper & Francis and the Lights]
You're my friend,
Summer friends don't stay,
Summer friends don't stay around.
Summer friends, summer friends,
Summer friends don't stay,
Summer friends don't stay, hey,
Stay around here.
[Verse 2: Chance The Rapper]
Oh, I used to kill 'em with the long hair,
Momma had salon, doin' perms out the armchair,
Dad was workin' late, he treat the crib like it's a timeshare,
I would mow some lawns, fold my ones like a lawn chair, hugh, hugh!
Now I'm the same way, over time all the time, every night, hey!
Ready my blessing, now I'm ready, how I wait!
Never let a friendship get in my way,
Never let a blog get in my way,
Make the whole song do whatever I say.
79, 79, 79, place,
79, 79, 79, place,
Some of my homegirls got lost in the paperwork,
They was good friends but I faked the clerk,
'Cause if it ain't work, can't make it work.
It's been a minute since I called on a friend,
Fucked up and fucked all my friends,
All my friends, all my…
[Chorus: Chance The Rapper & Francis and the Lights]
Stick around,
Summer friends, summer…
You're my friend,
Summer friends don't stick around,
Stick around,
And some of us…
79, 79, 79, hey!
79, 79, 79, hey!
79, 79, 79, hey, hey, hey!
You're my friend,
79, 79, 79, hey, 79!
So put your head on my shoulder.
City wide, city wide, city wide, hey!
City wide, city wide, city wide, hey!
City wide, city wide, city wide, hey!
City wide, city wide, city wide, hey!
City wide, city wide, city wide,
City wide, city wide, city wide,
City wide, city wide, city wide,
City wide, city wide, city wide,
City wide, city wide, city wide…
I will wait around for you,
I will wait around for you,
So lay your head.
May the Lord give your journey mercy,
May you be successful, grant you favor,
And bring you back safely, I love you.
[Jeremih – ×2:]
When I was so young before I could remember,
I would always treat my gang like family members,
Even when I changed, a nigga never changed up,
I always bring my friends, my friends, my friends, my friends up.
