Every summer me and Larry at the Boys Club of St. Louis

You know I’m nice with hoops, that’s where I learned to do it

Playing pool with the opposite of straight A students

You would classify as ruthless, but to me, they were my homies

Mimicking Jordan way before there was a Kobe

To get a better shot i thought, "here’s what imma do"

Study then copy the Reggie Miller follow through

The summer had hoop it ups, but I never did it

My confidence was low, and often it would show

Around a bunch of hood kids and my name is Dennis

To overcompensate I took it to the limits

Was mad at the world cuz I need a dad

So mom got the Six Flags season pass

Every summer, now I’m wishing that the time changed

To back when me and momma rode the Mine Train

And the Screaming Eagle, because I really need you

For guidance in a world that’s filled with evil

But now the summer's gone and the rains here

Despite the thunder storms you remained here

In my heart you’ll live forever, I hope you know that your kid is better

I said, In my heart you’ll live forever; I hope you know that your kid is better
