[00:00.000]Drums Please!
[00:15.267]Summer, summer, summertime
[00:20.227]Time to sit back and unwind
[00:24.339]Here it is the groove slightly transformed
[00:27.444]Just a bit of a break from the norm
[00:29.691]Just a little somethin' to break the monotony
[00:32.186]Of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be
[00:34.743]A little bit out of control it's cool to dance
[00:36.968]But what about the groove that soothes that moves romance
[00:40.445]Give me a soft subtle mix
[00:42.217]And if ain't broke then don't try to fix it
[00:45.389]And think of the summers of the past
[00:47.313]Adjust the bass and let the Alpine blast
[00:49.933]Pop in my CD and let me run a rhyme
[00:52.382]And put your car on cruise and lay back 'cause this is summertime
[00:55.712]Summer, summer, summertime
[01:00.598]Time to sit back and unwind
[01:25.009]School is out and it's a sort of a buzz
[01:27.817]But back then I didn't really know what it was
[01:30.725]But now I see what have of this
[01:32.771]The way that people respond to summer madness
[01:35.891]The weather is hot and girls are dressin' less
[01:37.833]And checkin' out the fellas to tell 'em who's best
[01:40.297]Riding around in your Jeep or your Benzos
[01:42.657]Or in your Nissan sittin' on Lorenzos
[01:45.458]Back in Philly we be out in the park
[01:47.531]A place called the Plateau is where everybody goes
[01:50.470]Guys out huntin' and girls doin' likewise
[01:53.044]Honkin' at the honey in front of you with the light eyes
[01:55.987]She turn around to see what you beepin' at
[01:58.462]It's like the summer's a natural aphrodisiac
[02:00.632]And with a pen and pad I compose this rhyme
[02:02.986]To hip you and to get you equipped for the summertime
[02:06.111]Summer, summer, summertime
[02:11.248]Time to sit back and unwind
[02:25.990]It's late in the day and I ain't been on the court yet
[02:28.218]Hustle to the mall to get me a short set
[02:30.728]Yeah I got on sneaks but I need a new pair
[02:33.230]Cause basketball courts in the summer got girls there
[02:36.322]The temperature's about 88
[02:38.345]Hop in the water plug just for old times sake
[02:40.799]Break to ya crib change your clothes once more
[02:43.167]Cause you're invited to a barbecue that's startin' at 4
[02:45.750]Sittin' with your friends cause y'all reminisce
[02:48.240]About the days growin' up and the first person you kiss
[02:50.851]And as I think back makes me wonder how
[02:53.399]The smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia
[02:56.293]All the kids playin' out front
[02:58.304]Little boys messin' round with the girls playing double-dutch
[03:01.362]While the DJ's spinnin' a tune as the old folks dance at your family reunion
[03:06.453]Then six o'clock rolls around
[03:08.748]You just finished wipin' your car down
[03:11.837]It's time to cruise so you go to the summertime hangout
[03:14.764]It looks like a car show
[03:16.846]Everybody come lookin' real fine
[03:18.836]Fresh from the barber shop or fly from the beauty salon
[03:21.708]Every moment frontin' and maxin'
[03:23.651]Chillin' in the car they spent all day waxin'
[03:26.263]Leanin' to the side but you can't speed through
[03:28.776]Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
[03:31.742]There's an air of love and of happiness
[03:33.700]And this is the Fresh Prince's new definition of summer madness
[03:37.110]Summer, summer, summertime
[03:42.035]Time to sit back and unwind
