Lyrics

[00:15.00] Summer, summer, summertime
[00:20.00] Time to sit back and unwind
[00:24.00] Here it is the groove slightly transformed
[00:27.00] Just a bit of a break from the norm
[00:29.00] Just a little somethin' to break the monotony
[00:32.00] Of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be
[00:34.00] A little bit out of control it's cool to dance
[00:37.00] But what about the groove that soothes that moves romance
[00:40.00] Give me a soft subtle mix
[00:42.00] And if ain't broke then don't try to fix it
[00:45.00] And think of the summers of the past
[00:47.00] Adjust the bass and let the alpine blast
[00:49.00] Pop in my CD and let me run a rhyme
[00:52.00] And put your car on cruise and lay back cause this is summertime
[00:56.00] Summer, summer, summertime time to sit back and unwind
[01:25.00] School is out and it's a sort of a buzz
[01:28.00] A back then I didn't really know what it was
[01:30.00] But now I see what have of this
[01:33.00] The way that people respond to summer madness
[01:35.00] The weather is hot and girls are dressing less
[01:38.00] And checking out the fellas to tell 'em who's best
[01:40.00] Riding around in your jeep or your benzos
[01:43.00] Or in your Nissan stting on lorenzos
[01:45.00] Back in Philly we be out in the park
[01:48.00] A place called the plateau is where everybody goes
[01:50.00] Guys out hunting and girls doing likewise
[01:53.00] Honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes
[01:56.00] She turn around to see what you beeping at
[01:58.00] It's like the summers a natural aphrodesiac
[02:00.00] And with a pen and pad I.pose this rhyme
[02:03.00] To hit you and get you equipped for the summer time
[02:06.00] Summer, summer, summertime, time to sit back and unwind
[02:26.00] It's late in the day and I ain't been on the court yet
[02:28.00] Hustle to the mall to get me a short set
[02:31.00] Yeah I got on sneaks but I need a new pair
[02:33.00] Cause basketball courts in the summer got girls there
[02:36.00] The temperature's about 88
[02:38.00] Hop in the water plug just for old times sake
[02:41.00] Break to ya crib change your clothes once more
[02:43.00] Cause you're invited to a barbeque that's starting at 4
[02:46.00] Sitting with your friends as y'all remincise
[02:48.00] About the days growing up and the first person you kissed
[02:51.00] And as I think back makes me wonder how
[02:53.00] The smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia
[02:57.00] All the kids playing out front
[02:58.00] Little boys messin round with the girls playing double-dutch
[03:01.00] While the DJ's spinning a tune as the old folks dance at your family reunion
[03:06.00] Then six o'clock rolls around
[03:09.00] You just finished wiping your car down
[03:12.00] It's time to cruise so you head to the summertime hangout
[03:14.00] It looks like a car show
[03:17.00] Everybody.e lookin real fine
[03:18.00] Fresh from the barber shop or fly from the beauty salon
[03:22.00] Every moment frontin and maxin
[03:23.00] Chillin in the car they spent all day waxin
[03:26.00] Leanin to the side but you can't speed through
[03:29.00] Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
[03:32.00] There's an air of love and of happiness
[03:34.00] And this is the Fresh Prince's new defintion of summer madness
[03:37.00] Summer, summer, summertime, time to sit back and unwind
