Summer's Mine
Rick Ross · Blue Edition [2011]
The summer's mine
I'm buying ten bottles b-tch
And I'm on number nine
The summer's mine
The summer's mine
Everytime she see a new whip
She know it's one of mine
[verse 1]The summer's mine
New silver scaglietti
F-ck a ron don you n-ggas ain't ready
You nigg-s is petty
You nigg-s spaghetti
Bustin' yo meatball
N-gga you better be ready
You n-ggas pathetic
Leave you paraphlegic
You throwin' up sets
But you really from Cleveland
Uh
F-ck boy (4x) uh
See I broke it down like a quarter key
B-tch I run the show
I'm what you wanna be
This how you wanna live
This what you wanna drive
Be honest with yourself
I'm who you idolize
[Chorus]The summer's mine
The summer's mine
I'm buying ten bottles b-tch
And I'm on number nine
The summer's mine
The summer's mine
Everytime she see a new whip
She know it's one of mine
The summer's mine
The summer's mine
Everytime you look around
They spinnin' one of mine
The summer's mine
The summer's mine
The last motherf-cker that you want to undermind
[Verse 2]This muth-f-ckas mad that I'm icey
Talking to a pussy n-gga yeah I might be
Uh
let it resonate first forty eight
Home of the chppa toatas my paper straight
I assasinate and employ 'em all
Sh-ttin' on ya dogs I'm just showin' off (rozay)
Self made, you just affiliated
Really a waterboy n-gga you entertainment
Blowin' money fast, yellow maserati
Deadman walking, decomposing body
Uh
I'm livin' large, this n-gga been a mark
They used his credit cards
Just to get they rental cars
[Chorus]The summer's mine
The summer's mine
I'm buying ten bottles b-tch
And I'm on number nine
The summer's mine
The summer's mine
Everytime she see a new whip
She know it's one of mine
The summer's mine
The summer's mine
Everytime you look around
They spinnin' one of mine
The summer's mine
The summer's mine
The last motherf-cker that you want to under mind
About Summer's Mine
Rick Ross's "Summer's Mine" from the 2011 *Blue Edition* album stands as a quintessential example of his mid-to-late 2010s sound, blending gritty hip-hop storytelling with a laid-back, summery groove. The track exemplifies Ross's signature ability to weave themes of wealth, ambition, and the complexities of the music industry into a rhythmic flow that balances aggression with relaxation. Released during a period where Ross was solidifying his status as a dominant force in Southern hip-hop, the recording captures the essence of his "Teflon Don" era persona, characterized by a confident, unapologetic delivery and a focus on the lifestyle of the successful entrepreneur. Musically, the song relies on a smooth, melodic production that complements Ross's baritone voice, creating an atmosphere of cool detachment often associated with the genre's most polished tracks. It reflects the broader trend of the early 2010s where artists like Ross moved away from purely aggressive rap toward more melodic, R&B-influenced hip-hop, yet maintained a distinct edge. The track remains a staple in Ross's discography, representing a specific moment in his career where he successfully merged commercial appeal with the raw, street-level authenticity that defined his earlier work.
