Steven Malcolm - Summertime Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1: Steven Malcolm
Yeah
Riding down that Boulevard in that six four, sway, yeah
6 a.m. flights to the next city, rage, yeah
This past year been a lil crazy but we still here
Ain't no complaining, yeah
Momma happy that her baby boy made it outta that basement
Stuck to the basics, yeah
Chorus: JayWay & Steven Malcolm
We party like it's summer everyday (Yeah yeah)
We put the work in, are we straight (Yeah, yeah)
Praise God, look what He did for me (Hey)
Summer summertime, man it feel like every day (Every day)
All my friends around me, no time for the fakes (For the fakes)
Summer summertime, man it feel like every day (Every day)
Summer summertime, man it feel like every day (Yeah yeah)
Summer summertime, man it feel like every day
Verse 2: Steven Malcolm
Got that shine bright, drip on me tough
Knowing that I gotta come with it like a pile up
In a young bull with a plate full
No dad present lotta hate toward him
Been alone, feelin' like I can't do it
Then God stepped in with a plan for me, yeah
Ayy, breakfast meetings out on sixtieth
Rapping after school, using my talents just to serve him with
Learning from the greats
I've never been the type to fake
I put my city on my back
I'm on the road with no brakes
Bridge: Steven Malcolm
Lifestyle of the young and wavy
Sitting low in that six four, levitate on
Still with my day ones, ain't the type to switch up
I've been in my bag, thinking, “God we made it”
That's a major key alert, yeah, yeah (Yeahhhhh)
Ey, summertime in my coupe swaying
Riding two, let ignite the whole city, yeah, yeah, yeah
Chorus: JayWay & Steven Malcolm
We party like it's summer everyday (Yeah yeah)
We put the work in, are we straight (Are we straight)
Praise God, look what He did for me (Hey)
Summer summertime, man it feel like every day (Every day)
All my friends around me, no time for the fakes (For the fakes)
Summer summertime, man it feel like every day (Every day)
Summer summertime, man it feel like every day (Yeah yeah)
Summer summertime, man it feel like every dayyyyyyyyyy
Outro: JayWay, Steven Malcolm

Steven Malcolm "SUMMERTIME" ft Snoop Dogg and Jay-Way (Official Music Video)
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on May 27, 2022, accompanied by its official music video, Steven Malcolm's "Summertime," featuring Snoop Dogg and Jay-Way, arrives as a vibrant track that initially feels like a straightforward ode to the relaxed, carefree season. However, beneath the infectious beat and laid-back delivery, the song offers a thoughtful commentary on finding genuine freedom and peace, which, interpreted through Malcolm's consistent artistic lens, points towards a deeper, spiritual liberation. While the surface speaks of warm weather, good times, and shedding worries, the underlying message resonates with the profound release promised through faith. This isn't just about a temporary break from life's pressures; it feels like an expression of the enduring peace that surpasses understanding, a theme found throughout Scripture, such as in Philippians 4:7, which speaks of God's peace guarding hearts and minds. The collaborators add layers to this narrative; Snoop Dogg's presence lends the track mainstream credibility and a voice familiar with navigating worldly complexities, making the aspiration for true freedom even more poignant, while Jay-Way contributes further to the song's modern, globally-aware sound. The celebration of "summertime" becomes a metaphor for living unburdened, which the Bible connects not to circumstance, but to a state of being found in relationship with the divine. Galatians 5:1 calls us to "stand firm, then, in the freedom Christ has set us free," and this song taps into that sentiment – the joy of casting off weights and living in the light. It suggests that the ultimate "summertime" is experiencing the lightness of spirit that comes from trusting in something greater, enjoying the good gifts of life as described in James 1:17, where every perfect gift is from above. The production and performances work together to create an atmosphere of liberation, inviting people to step into that sense of ease, reminding us that true rest isn't just a seasonal break but a state accessible through faith, a continuous flow of peace available regardless of the weather outside.
