Lyrics Summer '22 - KaeDee

It's been a crazy year, forget a crazy summer
And we're only over halfway
Certain situations mentally and physically I had to part ways
Building deeper bonds that helped me make it through the dark days
Blue skies and sunshine and good vibes
All of them aligning to alleviate the heartbreak
Sink into my seat and watch the scenery
Train riding, eyes upon the greenery
Life has still been moving at a fast pace
But bun that, I'm slowing down on my terms
No rat race, don't run that
Fuck that, and fuck you if you think I shouldn't shun that
Working on myself because I want that
Nah there ain't no trophy or no prize
Just the journey on my terms, yeah I won that
Percieving certain people on a pedestal
I let them loose and energies I knew I had to cut back
And they don't even know it
No need to even tell 'em when it's showing
See how they manoeuvre out my life as I keep growing
And it's telling
They say that life's chaotic but
In certain ways it really is poetic
Storylines that line up in a way that makes me feel like I was putting in no effort

Guess that insta wisdom wasn't lost on me
Fixing up my routine, time out for my child and them
The one who's deep inside, who comes alive
When tryna sleep and keeps on begging for that blue screen
Looking after him yeah that's my duty
Gleaning something from my labour
Be creative, yeah that's truly where the fruits be
Feed the spirit, higher living when consuming
Music, art and superhero movies

Yeah, taking longer walks with me and I, to the park, to the city
To the shop, when it's hot, when it's chilly
When I'm stressed, when I'm not, regardless, how I'm feeling
Just spitting, to myself
Play Ye, play Nas, play Pac, play Biggie
Play Jay, play Em, play Cole, King Kenny

Inspired as I shoot through
All these videos on YouTube
And it's midnight feeling fruitful
Then it's 5am I choose to

Just self indulge
I feel my inner child is acting out
So I reel him back and help him home
Feeding him my favourite scenes
Spider Man to Michael Jack
Spark that magic, all that talent, all that make believe
That wonderment, that made me me
Set the time machine, I'm finding that
Fuck all this growing up, reclining back
And acting like your life is over
Cuz you're turning thirty
Nah the older I've been getting
The more that light's been glowing
And the more that I've been feeling certi

This summer yeah's been something else
Volume three or four, I've lost track, ask the Lord they got that
Either way I felt this coming, Hell
From the moment that I stepped in
2022 came with the blues a year anew
With Covid testing
Then my spaceship getting wrecked and
To my girlfriend maybe getting pregnant
To my girlfriend becoming my fucking ex and
Then me sleeping on this couch at 4am instead of being home
All curled up in my fucking bedroom

It's calm, don't watch that
It's all part and parcel bruv I learnt my lessons
Manoeuvred certain situations
Steering clear of certain bredrin
Had to go there on the way to get where I'm getting
Seeing every up and down like they're the weirdest blessing
But a blessing still, think this has been my clearest session
So what it do? I'm coming through
My pen'll set fire to summer '22
