about

Cold Summer is a song of duality.

At it's heart, Cold Summer is exactly as it's name alludes. It is the expectation of warmth subverted, only to be met with the cold. The difference between bitches and hoes, and the story leading up to the revelation of this new understanding, these are the two stories told across these 2 minutes. The title serves to underscore the mood of the song, what going through something like this can feel like. What it's like to be stuck in a cold summer.

While it's commonly accepted that "Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks" I posit an opposing stance, highlighting the separate characteristics of each. I often seek to offer enlightenment and to spread knowledge, however on 'Cold Summer' I believe the simplistic approach was the most prudent move I could've made. Instead of my usual run on sentence style of Rap I opted to use more emotionally charged language, that coupled with the mood, melodic cadence, eerily haunting vocals, and overall vibe of the track serves to sufficiently paint the mental picture I desired to convey.

lyrics

[Intro]:
Tired of running
tired of hiding
Tryna fade it
I can’t fight it

[Hook]:
I been gone for way too long
You putting curses on my soul
No I don’t need your piece of mind
I need tranquility I find

[Verse]:
That bitches ain’t really hoes
There’s a difference don’t you know
yeah
Bitch move whatever way she want
Hoes follow dough, pussy, and more

Can’t you see?
Yeah
She just want gold

Yah
Say she love you telling lies
Inside your sight does lie a hoe

Mad I don’t buy expensive clothes
I ain’t been the one to gloat
I feel like mason in the scope
Pray man don’t end up like the bow

I bet you hear her bitching bro
Yeah
Know sentiment ain’t lost on you

We always going back and forth
The worst part of it’s that she’s both

I ain’t coming back no more
99 problems you ain’t one
I guess you realized how fucked up
this relation was from the jump

[Hook]
I been gone for way too long
You putting curses on my soul
I don’t need your piece of mind
I need tranquility I find

[Outro]
Was right about you all along
You was scared of being alone

Treat me like shit so I would chase you
Leave me lone when I’m pissed off

Your friends ain’t really friends at all
They told you that to watch your fall

But it’s too late to take it back
Don’t wanna see you anymore

I been gone for way too long...
