When It Get So Hot

And when it get so hot
Alright
Keep your head cold
And when it get so hot
And when it get so hot
Alright

My friend
Do you know what I mean
Have you seen what I've seen
My friends
They know how I feel
Sometimes it get real
When its summer time
A lot of us die because of homicide
They sun plays with our minds
Can not keep it in disguise
'Cause now it's brought to light
Hop on my bike
I see different forms of life
I see a couple and they fighting
I pay no mind to it
I see my guy I used to kick it with
He talking to himself
When I pull over to say hi
He looking terrified
When I look into his eyes
They looked right through mine
Like he couldn't recognise
Who am I and why
I care about his life
Man it made me wanna cry
I really hope that you're all right
So many of us facing tough times
People walk up to me all the time
Hoping to get high
If I tell em I don't sell em
Then they ask "You trying to buy?"
It ain't hard to get drugs
But it's hard to get a job
What's the end result
People end up broke and hella buzzed
Addiction is a mug
It play games with your trust
I know too many who gave up
Know plenty who got got
Living in the 2020's is a crazy fucking ride
Already prayed so many fucking times

And when it get so hot
Alright
And when it get so hot
Keep your head cold
When it get so hot
Alright
And when it get so hot
Keep your head cold
And when it get so hot

Sometimes I get approached by people
Who look like they don't talk to other people
Not 'cause they evil
But how society sees them
Get jumped into mid conversations
By complete strangers
But it's OK although
People think they crazy
I can see they ain't dangerous
They just want to be asked
How they day went
In the midst of these happy families on vacation
Hoping they ain't scared 'cause then they
Gotta be afraid of authorities taking them away
And causing them pain
All because they looked strange
Without a chance to explain
Why they there in the first place
Our birthplace don't always
Provide a safe space
And it's a story untold
But it's time to unfold
You could be knocked out cold
And get arrested instead of the hospital
I've seen people kill them selves with alcohol
And when you call someone
They send a fucking cop car
Now what you think is go'n' happen
See I've seen it happen
Helsinki my city makes me throw my hands up
We need CPR and they giving us handcuffs
So until they treat us right
All my people stand up

My friend still pays from his past
When he's down on his last
My friend my friend he can't change his past
But he's down on his last

And when it get so hot
Said he's down on his last
And when it get so hot
Keep your head cold
When it get so hot
Down on his last
And when it get so hot
Keep your head cold
When it get so hot
Down on his last
And when it get so hot
