|
[Chorus:] |
|
Summer, summer, summertime |
|
Time to sit back and unwind |
|
[The Fresh Prince:] |
|
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 |
|
[Chorus] |
|
[The Fresh Prince:] |
|
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 |
|
[Chorus] |
|
[The 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 cause y'all remincise |
|
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 |
