Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We was sixteen, seven deep in a sedan
Backseat dreams, tryna stretch ’em like a rubber band
One cracked screen, whole world in a single hand
Mama said “plan,” I was busy tryna dodge the plans
Same halls, couple lockers and a lot of lies
Teacher talkin’ ’bout the future I could not visualize
All I knew was cuttin’ class for a bite of life
Corner store, hot fries, talkin’ what we’d idolize
He had a notebook
Pages full of crooked hooks
Said “if this don’t hit, then it’s back to jugg and juke”
I laughed, but the way his voice shook
Felt like a bet with the reaper on the rook
[Chorus]
It was one split second in the summer (yeah)
Everything changed, we ain’t never goin’ back
Thought we had time, but the time ran past us
Now I hear your name in the quiet, in the cracks
One split second in the summer
Whole block froze, whole sky turned black
We was talkin’ forever in a five-minute moment
Blink one time, watch forever go flat (flat)
[Verse 2]
Fast forward, different city, but the weight same
Old friends on my phone, new ones with my stage name
He called once, said he’s drownin’ in the day-to-day
I said “I’m on tour, send a text, I’ll hit you back today”
Never did, then the call log turned into candles
His lil’ sis wearin’ his face on a flannel
Pastor sayin’ “gotta trust things you can’t handle”
But it’s hard when you know you could’ve answered
Now every green light feel like guilt passin’ by
Every packed show feel like I left you outside
I rap fast ’cause I’m scared if I slow my stride
That the silence gon’ say what I try to hide
[Chorus]
It was one split second in the summer (one)
Everything changed, we ain’t never goin’ back
Thought we had time, but the time ran past us
Now I hear your name in the quiet, in the cracks
One split second in the summer
Whole block froze, whole sky turned black
We was talkin’ forever in a five-minute moment
Blink one time, watch forever go flat
[Bridge]
How many “call you later”s turn to never?
How many group chats die in September?
How many stories stay stuck at the header?
How many hearts learn hurt is a teacher, not a debtor?
I keep your voice in a verse I don’t drop
Whole song sittin’ on a hard drive locked
’Cause if they sing along, that mean you really gone
So I loop that line and just let the beat stop
[Chorus]
It was one split second in the summer (yeah)
Everything changed, we ain’t never get it back
Thought we had time, but the time ran past us
Now I hear your name in the quiet, in the cracks
One split second in the summer
Whole block froze, whole sky turned black
If I get one more five-minute moment with you
I won’t blink once, I’ma hold it like that (like that)
