Summerassault

Birds hum and sing
Warm up the town
Ants on the sweets
Mosquitos biting now
Summer 'round the corner
Rubber bands on the ground
Her head tilted up
Take them braids down
Take them braids down
Take them braids down
Take them braids down
Take them braids down
Take them braids
Down
She wanna summersault
In the summertime
She wanna wet her hair
She wanna swim all night
Summer swims with summer friends
She summersault sometimes
Sunny sun, Daytona sand
She can't ignore those signs
Her tippy toes dipped down below
Not too cold, just right
14, but look 20 something
She can't control her size
Strangers smile, she smile back
She innocent, she poolside
Her parents left from the hotel room
Top floor with a view
She head back to the room
Ohhh, and when she got back to the room
The stranger that she smiled at
Also got back to the room
And over powered her youth
I wanna summersault
And wash this day away
She say I just wanna summersault
And wash this day away
Children laughing loud
Joy is all around
Curtis record bumping
Such would astound
These are the makings of
You in this golden hour
Things were looking up
Then came crashing down
Came crashing down
Came crashing down
Like a summersault
It came crashing down
Came crashing
Down
She wanna summersault
In the summertime
She wanna wet her hair
She wanna swim all night
Summer swims with summer friends
She summersault sometimes
Bronx baby with her box braids
At the public pool in July
200 swimmers in the water
And maybe 'bout 100 swimmers in towels
14 lifeguards, not enough eyes
To see what went down
Summer swims in the summer time
She dream of summersaulting one day
10 years old with a 10 year old's body frame
She's 10 years old, no doubt
Ohh, but there's a criminal in the crowd
He overpowers her youth
And leaves this 10 year old girl to drown
She never learned how to
I just wanna summersault
And wash this day away
Ohhh, ohhh
She say I just wanna summersault
And wash this day away
She say I just wanna summersault
And wash this day away
She say I just wanna summersault
And wash this day away
She say I just wanna summersault
And wash this day away
