[Verse 1]
Who's ready for summer?
Poolside, sun on our shoulders
Barbecue smoke in the air
Music bumping, getting bolder
Late nights with our loved ones
Kids laughing by the gate
Cold drink, red cups, good vibes
We don't let the darkness stay
[Pre-Chorus]
If the heat get high
We keep our cool
No more shots in the night
Just dancing by the pool
Hands up, no hate
Let the whole block sing
We came for the joy
Let the good times ring
[Chorus]
Guns down, hands up
Guns down, hands up
Guns down, hands up
We came to live
Guns down, hands up
Guns down, hands up
Guns down, hands up
We came to live
(live, live)
[Verse 2]
Auntie on the grill now
Cousins on the lawn
Baby girl in fresh braids
Breaking out a song
Uncle telling old jokes
Somebody starts to dance
One beat, one family
One summer chance
Take a picture, hold tight
Save it in your heart
Every smile we make now
Is a brand new start
[Pre-Chorus]
If the heat get high
We keep our cool
No more shots in the night
Just dancing by the pool
Hands up, no hate
Let the whole block sing
We came for the joy
Let the good times ring
[Chorus]
Guns down, hands up
Guns down, hands up
Guns down, hands up
We came to live
Guns down, hands up
Guns down, hands up
Guns down, hands up
We came to live
(live, live)
[Bridge]
For the ones we lost
We light the way
For the ones still here
We choose today
No more tears on porches
No more fear in sight
We turn this whole block
Into one good night
[Chorus]
Guns down, hands up
Guns down, hands up
Guns down, hands up
We came to live
Guns down, hands up
Guns down, hands up
Guns down, hands up
We came to live
(live, live)
