Summer-summer-summertime
|
Time to sit back and unwind
|
Here it is, the groove’s slightly transformed
|
Just a bit of a fray from the norm
|
Just a little somethin' to break the monotony of all that hardcore and dance
|
That has gotten to be a little bit out of control
|
It’s cool to dance, but what about the groove that smooths that new romance?
|
Give me a soft subtle mix
|
And if it ain’t broken then don’t try to fix it
|
And think of the summers of the past
|
Adjust the bass and let the alpine blast
|
Pop in my CD, and let me run a rhyme
|
And put your car on cruise and lay back, cause it’s summertime
|
Summer-summer-summertime
|
(Ooh, summertime)
|
Time to sit back and unwind
|
Summer-summer-summertime
|
(We got the summertime)
|
Time to sit back and unwind
|
Summer-summer-summertime
|
Time to sit back and unwind
|
(Time to sit back and unwind)
|
School is out and it’s sort of buzz
|
But back then I didn’t know what it was
|
But now I see what I happens
|
The way that people respond to summer madness
|
Riding around in your jeep, or your Benzos |
Or in your Nissan, sitting on Lorenzo’s
|
Back in Philly, we be out in the park
|
A place called the «Plateau» is where everybody goes
|
Guys out hunting, and girls doing likewise
|
Honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes
|
And with a pen and pad I compose this rhyme
|
To hit and get equipped for the summertime
|
Summer-summer-summertime
|
Time to sit back and unwind
|
Summer-summer-summertime
|
Time to sit back and unwind
|
(Time to sit back and unwind)
|
It’s late in the day, and I ain’t been on the court yet
|
Hustle to the mall to get me a short set
|
Yeah, I got sneaks, but I need a now pair
|
Cause basketball court in the summer got girls there
|
The temperature’s about 88
|
Hop in the water plug just for old time snake
|
Break to ya crib change your clothes once more
|
Cause your invited to a barbecue that’s starting at 4
|
Sitting with your friends, cause y’all reminisce
|
About the days growing up and the first person you kissed
|
And as I think back makes me wonder how the smell from a grill could spark up a |
nostalgia
|
All the kids playing out front
|
Little boys messin' 'round with the girls playing double dutch
|
While the DJ’s spinning a tune
|
As the old folks dance at your family reunion
|
Then six o’clock rolls around
|
You just finish wiping your car down
|
It’s time to cruise so your head to the summertime hangout
|
It looks like a car show
|
Everybody come lookin' real fine
|
Fresh from the barber shop or the fly from the beauty salon
|
Every moment frontin' and maxin'
|
Chillin' in the car they spend all day waxin'
|
Leanin' to the side but you can’t speed through
|
Two miles an hour so everybody can see you
|
There’s an air of love and of happiness
|
And this is the Fresh Prince’s new denfintion of summer madness
|
Summer-summer-summertime
|
(Ooh, summertime)
|
Time to sit back and unwind
|
Summer-summer-summertime
|
(We got the summertime)
|
Time to sit back and unwind
|
Summer-summer-summertime
|
(We got the summertime)
|
Time to sit back and unwind
|
(Time to sit back and unwind) |
