Give the Summer Drums - T-K.A.S.H., Paris

89.5 KPOO in the city by the bay, hard truth soldier radio

Black owned and still strong, still got it goin' on

San Francisco California, bringin' it back with old school slaps,

still puttin' in on ya

Representin' Freedom Justice and Equality, believe

Guerrilla Funk the buildin' no straps on us

We hit the function and chill, a pro black moment

We tryin' to bubble for real, a mo' scratch moment

The opposite of killa with backbone it’s on

Sunshine, Northern California summer time

Grillin' somethin' other than swine, bustin' rhymes

I didn’t see one crime so wasn’t no one time

It’s fun time, old school vets lacin' young minds

I ain’t talkin bout no murderin' blacks

I’m talking learning and encouraging blacks

Man we bringin' that encouragement back

Still respectin' the new school dudes and they youtube views

I’m pushin' the 69 they pushin' the scraper

We at park and its crackin', my patnas doin it major

Cold weather in the fall, but for now we loungin'

Summertime in the Bay and when it’s good is astoundin', give the summer drums

Gangstas, hustlas, none of that is among us

Just real life vets and youngstas

Livin' livin' livin' livin' for the summertime, in the sunshine

Nothin' up in the gun line, give the summer drums

Gangstas, hustlas

None of that is among us

Just real life vets and youngstas

Livin' livin' livin' livin' for the summertime

In the sunshine

Nothin' up in the gun line

Give the summer drums

Laid back, way back, Marvin Gaye track

On a 8 track day to relax

That’s how we do it on this West Coast

Barbeque and dominoes, homie let’s go

Unity and togetherness, let the rest go

We on that elevate, come on brother, let’s toast

Kick that black on black violence out and shut the door behind it

Rewind it back to good times from the Bay to LA, back to Sac

Neighborhood superstar, block hero

Neighborhood animosity, I got zero

It’s like that when you really reppin' for the people

P-Dog, Tomie Kash, «Better Days» sequel

Shot to 43rd Street but it ain’t lethal

Respected in Oakland for change and remaining peaceful

Yappin'.

No blappin' in my rappin'

A smile on my mask when I’m askin' «what's happenin'»

Gangstas, hustlas, (Hey!)

None of that is among us (Yeah)

Just real life vets and youngstas (That's Right)

Livin' livin' livin' livin' for the summertime

In the sunshine

Nothin' up in the gun line, (Yo)

Give the summer drums

Brains all over the streets, brains I’m hopin' to reach

Hangin' all over the streets, bangin', I hope it’ll cease

Change and grow into peace, rainin' with dough in the streets

Sprinkle the dough with the yeast, then we get bread, that’s how we eat

Tomie Kash keep it lit, but without the heat

Pull up with them pounds, but I’m only talkin' 'bout the beat

Bust it in the air, just a friendly game of 3 on 3

Ain’t nobody dead cause it really ain’t no reason to be

You ridin' with black men that’s tapped in to the black men

From back then, that’s past tense

And the straps and the reaction that traps black men

Back in the pen, it’s back to relaxin' again

Did away with the thug livin', strictly gettin' high

Realizin' I love livin', tryin' to get it right

Unity, job opportunity

Community that’s through with movin' in these streets foolishly

Livin' livin' livin' livin' for the summertime

Livin' livin' livin' livin'

Livin' livin' livin' livin' for the summertime

Give the summer drums, son
