Summertime

D.J. Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince

Intro/Chorus: *sung*




summer summer summertime



time to sit back and unwind




Verse One: 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




Verse Two: 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




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 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




Chorus
