[00:09.85]Now even though I was only a young buck, I was still trying to kick it
[00:13.39]Having a gang of fun and much too young to be wicked
[00:15.66]Cause when I was thirteen you know we didn't have cars
[00:18.17]It was either double ride the peg nuts or hop on the handlebars
[00:21.52]And then we went and bought a gang of balloons and had
[00:23.89]A water balloon fight that lasted until the night
[00:27.01]Then after that we played some "Hide and Go Get It"
[00:28.98]With the neighborhood homegirls dumb enough to be with it
[00:31.67]All in fun and games and keeping it cool
[00:33.96]But my my, when you're kicking it, time flies by
[00:36.47]Cause every hour's a minute, and every minute's a sec
[00:38.18]And if I'd came home late, my moms would ring my neck, yeah
[00:42.53]But I regret not them whoopings I got
[00:44.67]Cause to be able to play the next day was okay
[00:47.17]On a mission, to hit up the neighbor's fruit trees
[00:49.51]Just a bunch of kids chillin', enjoying the summer breeze
[00:52.77]Summer breeze, flowing like the wind
[00:53.99]Boy you need to know that you got a friend
[00:57.79]And I'll always be here (I'll always be here)
[01:12.63]Now I'm growing some fuzz, getting older like 17 or 18
[01:16.38]And the only thing I know is to stay clean
[01:18.39]T-shirt, short pants, Nikes on spotless T
[01:21.47]I was even old enough to buy me a Cutlass
[01:23.72]Or a vehicle to ride around town, flirt with the hoes and
[01:26.47]Roll down the window and mack to the one who's chosen
[01:28.96]Yo, them biker pants look kinda right on you
[01:31.06]My name is DJ Quik and my homies is having a barbeque
[01:34.26]Before I finish my whole sentence complete
[01:36.39]Yo she was off the bus stop and in my passenger seat
[01:39.03]And we was sliding to the Westside, stopped at the store
[01:41.68]To get some Boones Farm because that make 'em kick it a little more
[01:44.87]And at the spot, you know that chicken was kicking
[01:47.07]The pig on the grill, and so the day was chill
[01:49.48]But that night, my girl was tipsy and was ready to skeeze
[01:52.09]But I didn't even trip, too busy jocking the summer breeze
[01:55.21]Summer breeze, flowing like the wind
[01:57.78]Boy you need to know that you got a friend
[02:00.12]And I'll always be here (I'll always be here）
[02:15.80]Now I'm 23 and I remember the times when
[02:18.24]We was chillin' like villians and didn't have no nines
[02:20.78]Like when we used to mob to beaches to kick it and swim
[02:23.63]Now I hang around and watch the tides come in
[02:25.92]And I'm thinking how many funerals I've been to
[02:28.43]Watching all my homies get buried in them boxes they put 'em into
[02:31.58]And then I read a letter from upstate
[02:33.93]From my homie G-Wayne, who's been locked up since '87, '88
[02:36.98]And it really ain't nothing fly about it
[02:38.99]So either I'mma stay strong or break down and simply cry about it
[02:42.08]And when it seem like things just ain't gon be right
[02:44.13]I gotta thank my creator for letting me sleep last night
[02:46.68]And waking me up in the morning because I shudder to think
[02:49.27]That that could be me dead or locked away in the clink
[02:52.19]So I'm lifting my homie's spirits as tall as the trees
[02:54.34]And I can even hear him calling me, in the summer breeze
[02:57.87]Summer breeze, flowing like the wind
[03:00.16]Boy you need to know that you got a friend
[03:02.46]And I'll always be here (I'll always be here)
