| 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 |
