Summertime |
| Summer, summer, summertime |
| Time to sit back and unwind |
| Verse One: Fresh Prince |
| Here it is a groove slightly transformed |
| Just a bit of a break from the norm |
| Just a little somethin' to break the monotony |
| Of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be |
| A little bit out of control it’s cool to dance |
| But what about the groove that soothes and moves romance |
| Give me a soft subtle mix |
| And if ain’t broke then don’t try to fix it And think of the summers of the past |
| Adjust the base 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 this is summertime |
| Chorus |
| Verse Two: Fresh Prince |
| School is out and there’s a sort of a buzz |
| But back then I didn’t really know what it was |
| But now I see what happen-es |
| The way that people respond to summer madness |
| The weather is hot and girls are dressing less |
| And checking out the fellas to tell 'em who’s best |
| Ridin around in your jeep or your benzos |
| Or in your nissan stting on lorenzos |
| Back in Philly we be out in the park |
| A place called the plateau is where everybody go Guys out hunting and girls doing likewise |
| Honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes |
| She turn around to see what you beeping at It’s like the summers a natural afrodesiac |
| And with a pen and pad I compose this rhyme |
| To hit you and to get you equipped for the summer time |
| Chorus |
| Verse Three: Fresh Prince |
| 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 on sneaks but I need a new pair |
| Cause basketball courts in the summer got girls there |
| The temperature’s about 88 |
| Hop in the water plug just for old times sake |
| Break to ya crib change your clothes once more |
| Cause you’re invited to a barbeque that’s starting at 4 |
| Sitting with your friends as 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 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 finished wiping your car down |
| It’s time to cruise so you go to the summertime hangout |
| It looks like a car show |
| Everybody come lookin real fine |
| Fresh from the barber shop or fly from the beauty salon |
| Every moment frontin and maxin |
| Chillin in the car they spent all day waxin |
| Leanin to the side but you can’t speed through |
| Two miles an hour so everybody sees you |
| There’s an air of love and of happiness |
| And this is the Fresh Prince’s new defintion of summer madness |
| Chorus |
