Short Summer Lyrics

[Chorus: Emanny]
It's gonna be a short summer
'Cause most of y'all ain't built to last
It's gonna be a short summer
'Cause soon enough your shit gon' pass
It's gonna be a short summer
You had your fun but now it's done
It's gonna be a short summer
A new season has begun

[Verse 2]
What throne are you an heir to?
How can I be compared to, nigga, you fallin' off with a parachute
Your stack short, got some earnin' to do
You're new school, just means you got some learnin' to do
I don't care to argue (nah,) you to easy to tear apart through
What I hear is partial, that whole project is Sarah Marshall (forgettable)
And I don't know what type of shit you on
I tried to make you get the point but you was Chris Duhon
So where's Ray Felton when you need 'im?
When niggas show you who they really are you should believe 'em
Catch me with the top down, turnpike speedin'
Bout to have Jersey on fire like Cleveland
With my back in the wall I ain't never got slayed shit
Lebron was king until that pressure got Wade/weighed
So if you marry the game I'll be at the altar waitin'
With some niggas I don't call till it's an altercation

Less bail money, less court cases
More mile high, more vacation

More of my back rubbed, more of my feet massaged
Had me thinkin she invented face time, Steve Jobs
They can't stay afloat, they prolly need a mention
We in two different boats, but yours need an engine
Nerve of you niggas I earth you niggas
Took the Merina out of shorty, gave birth to you niggas
Dog, I hear everything you say
You Steve Irwin to a upset stingray
A lighter to a upset Jean Grey
Now who's hotta, you notta
True scholar, new prada, a few dollars
Niggas want to hit em with the chrome like blaka
I'm waiting for them when they get home like Posada
How they keep comparin' a stove to Hell's kitchen
That just make a man real mad, Mel Gibson
So death to all the bullshit by any means
Kill em all, hang em from the ceilin using skinny jeans

For aspiring rappers that want to pop but can't
For the families of Sean Bell, Oscar Grant
Nigga ya heat wave is almost up
Playing for keepsake you almost fucked
So when you talk about Joe
When you done being critical
Say the painter was wild
But he made sure the portrait was original

[Chorus: Emanny]
It's gonna be a short summer
'Cause most of y'all ain't built to last
It's gonna be a short summer
'Cause soon enough your shit gon' pass
It's gonna be a short summer
You had your fun but now it's done
It's gonna be a short summer
A new season has begun
