Lyrics for Song: Summer In The City
Lyrics for Album: Free City [2001]
Hot town, summer in the city, back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity, doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night it's a different world, so nice just to be a girl
Come on and dance all night despite the heat it will be alright
And baby, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights in the summer
In the city, in the summer, in the city
Cool town, evening in the city, dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty, gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing just like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
But at night it's a different world, so nice just to be a girl
Come on and dance all night despite the heat it will be alright
And baby, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights in the summer
In the city, in the summer, in the city
Hot town, summer in the city, back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity, doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
Till I'm wheezing just like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
But at night it's a different world, so nice just to be a girl
Come on and dance all night despite the heat it will be alright
And baby, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights in the summer
In the city, in the summer, in the city

Summer In The City
Nelly's "Summer In The City" serves as a vibrant centerpiece on his 2001 debut album, Free City. Released during the height of the mid-2000s hip-hop boom, the track exemplifies the genre's shift toward melodic sensibilities and polished production. The song features a catchy hook and rhythmic flow that defined the era's sound, blending street narratives with an upbeat, summery atmosphere. As part of Nelly's early discography, it helped establish his signature style and contributed to the commercial success of his initial recordings before the release of Nellyville. |
