You can feel it in the streets
On a day like this, the heat
It feel like summer
I feel like summer
I feel like summer
You can feel it in the streets
On a day like this, the heat
I feel like summer
She feel like summer
This feel like summer
I feel like summer
[Verse 1]
Seven billion souls that move around the sun
Rolling faster, fast and not a chance to slow down
Slow down
Men who made machines that want what they decide
Parents tryna tell their children please slow down
Slow down
[Refrain]
I know
Oh, I know you know that pain
I'm hopin' that this world will change
But it just seems the same
(It feels like the same)
You can feel it in the streets
On a day like this, the heat
It feels like summer
(I feel like summer)
I feel like summer
(I feel like summer)
I feel like summer
[Verse 2]
Every day gets hotter than the one before
Running out of water, it's about to go down
Go down
Air that kill the bees that we depend upon
Birds were made for singing
Waking up to no sound
No sound
[Refrain]
I know
Oh, I know you know my pain
I'm hopin' that this world will change
But it just seems the same
I know
Oh, I hope we change
I really thought this world could change
But it seems like the same
About
“Feels Like Summer,” later released as “42.26,” is the tenth track on Gambino’s fourth studio album 3.15.20.
Bino first released the track, alongside “Summertime Magic,” on the morning of July 11, 2018: in the middle of the summer. Fittingly, the tracks were released to streaming services under the title Summer Pack. This had been the first new music from Gambino after his colossal hit “This is America.”
With this song, Gambino covers various issues facing our world today, including the growing world population, artificial intelligence, climate change, water scarcity, air pollution, Colony collapse disorder (the dying of bees), and deforestation.
The music video dropped on September 1st. It features an animated Gambino walking down a street packed with notable rappers and celebrities in animated cameo appearances.
