Summer summer summertime
|
Time to sit back and unwind
|
Here it is the 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
|
that 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
|
Summer summer summertime
|
Time to sit back and unwind
|
Summer summer summertime
|
Time to sit back and unwind
|
Summer summer summertime
|
Time to sit back and unwind
|
School is out and it's a sort of a buzz
|
A back then I didn't really know what it was
|
But now I see what have of this
|
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
|
Riding around in your jeep or your benzos
|
Or in your Nissan stting on lorenzos
|
Back in Philly we be ou 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
|
She turn around to see what you beeping at
|
It's like the summers a natural afradesiac
|
And with a pen and pad I compose this rhyme
|
To hit you and get you equipped for the summer time
|
Summer summer summertime
|
Time to sit back and unwind
|
Summer summer summertime
|
Time to sit back and unwind
|
Summer summer summertime
|
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 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 cause y'all reminisce
|
About the days growing up and the first person you kiss
|
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 head 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 spead 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
|
Summer summer summertime
|
Time to sit back and unwind
|
Summer summer summertime
|
Time to sit back and unwind
|
Summer summer summertime
|
Time to sit back and unwind |
