[Lyric] Summer Camp (Akira The Don)

I had a younger sister who was very ill
She was born with a rare liver disease and she needed a liver trans-supplant upon her birth
And so when my mother did have free time a lotta time my sister got the affection
Because she was ill
And she got a lot more love and affection than my other brother and my other sister did
I felt like
Anyhow, I was, you know, growing up and one thing I really loved was summertime I, I would go to YMCA summer camp

[Chorus]
It was a group of kids in the summer that just wanted to have fun
Wanted to have fun, wanted to have fun
It was a group of kids in the summer that just wanted to have fun
Wanted to have fu-fun, summer camp
It was a group of kids in the summer that just wanted to have fun
Wanted to have fun
It was a group, group of ki –
It was a group of kids in the summer that just wanted to have fun
Wanted to have (fun!), summer camp

And at summer camp Things weren't as cliquey
Everybody was on the same page
It was
We got to do fun stuff
We all, you know, rode on a bus
Together from the camp
To go to, to the, to, to the field trip
[Chorus]
It was a group of kids in the summer that just wanted to have fun
Wanted to have fun, wanted to have fun
It was a group of kids in the summer that just wanted to have fun
Wanted to have fu-fun, summer camp
It was a group of kids in the summer that just wanted to have fun
Wanted to have fun
It was a group, group of ki –
It was a group of kids in the summer that just wanted to have fun
Wanted to have (fun!), summer camp

And I just loved that
It just wasn't as judgemental
You know, my mom would drop us off there and we'd stay there and go to summer camp
It, there just felt like less judgment
And one day I was walking in my neighborhood
And one of the councilors from my summer camp drove down the street
He happened to be driving through my neighborhood
And he saw me and our neighborhood was poor, man
It was, you know, I think it was the poorest white neighborhood that was around us, I felt like
And then when I saw him at summer camp he was joking with some of the other councilors, he was making fun of where I live
You know, he was making fun of the place he saw me run out of the apartment I ran out of
And it just at that point, like, a lot, something inside of me just really kinda died some
You know, like
Here was the one place where I really felt kind of okay
And now that place didn't feel okay to me anymore
[Chorus]
It was a group of kids in the summer that just wanted to have fun
Wanted to have fun, wanted to have fun
It was a group of kids in the summer that just wanted to have fun
Wanted to have fu-fun, summer camp
It was a group of kids in the summer that just wanted to have fun
Wanted to have fun
It was a group, group of ki –
It was a group of kids in the summer that just wanted to have fun
Wanted to have (fun!), summer camp
