MY PEOPLE EMERGE FROM THEIR HOMES TO SHOOT THE DOZENS ON THEIR FRONT STOOPS. OUR BABIES FROLIC UP AND DOWN CONCRETE BLOCKS THROUGH FIRE HYDRANT SPRINKLERS, WITH MELTED ICYS TRICKLING DOWN THEIR FOREARMS. HEAT RISES BUT WE CLIMB FIRE ESCAPES TO GET A BETTER VIEW. damn! my city is beautiful. A LOCAL BUSINESS MAN ADVERTISES NUTCRACKERS! ON A CROWDED TRAIN. but YOU MIGHT CATCH US WITH DA HENNY, A NIGHT CRAWLERS bev. AND NOW WE FETIN', IN SOMEBODY'S YARD BLASTING SOCA AND WE CHIPPING. BUT NOT BEFORE THERES MILLY ROCKS ON ALL THE BLOCKS. SOMEBODY SCREAMING IN MY EAR BUT I’M GOOD JUST DANCING WITH MY FRIENDS, INHALING MY YOUTH with the j. THESE ARE THE SWEATY NIGHTS I LIVE FOR JUST JUKING AND JIVING WITH THE HOMIES, HOOTING AND HOLLERING WITH MY FAM IF IT WERE UP TO ME SUMMER WOULD KNOW NO END.
