Summertime - Carlon Jeffery

Summer-summer-summertime

Time to sit back and unwind

Here it is, the groove’s slightly transformed

Just a bit of a fray from the norm

Just a little somethin' to break the monotony of all that hardcore and dance

That has gotten to be a little bit out of control

It’s cool to dance, but what about the groove that smooths that new romance?

Give me a soft subtle mix

And if it ain’t broken then don’t try to fix it

And think of the summers of the past

Adjust the bass 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 it’s summertime

Summer-summer-summertime

(Ooh, summertime)

Time to sit back and unwind

Summer-summer-summertime

(We got the summertime)

Time to sit back and unwind

Summer-summer-summertime

Time to sit back and unwind

(Time to sit back and unwind)

School is out and it’s sort of buzz

But back then I didn’t know what it was

But now I see what I happens

The way that people respond to summer madness

Riding around in your jeep, or your Benzos

Or in your Nissan, sitting on Lorenzo’s

Back in Philly, we be out 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

And with a pen and pad I compose this rhyme

To hit and get equipped for the summertime

Summer-summer-summertime

Time to sit back and unwind

Summer-summer-summertime

Time to sit back and unwind

(Time to sit back and unwind)

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 sneaks, but I need a now pair

Cause basketball court in the summer got girls there

The temperature’s about 88

Hop in the water plug just for old time snake

Break to ya crib change your clothes once more

Cause your invited to a barbecue that’s starting at 4

Sitting with your friends, cause y’all reminisce

About the days growing up and the first person you kissed

And as I think back makes me wonder how the smell from a grill could spark up a

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 finish wiping your car down

It’s time to cruise so your head to the summertime hangout

It looks like a car show

Everybody come lookin' real fine

Fresh from the barber shop or the fly from the beauty salon

Every moment frontin' and maxin'

Chillin' in the car they spend all day waxin'

Leanin' to the side but you can’t speed through

Two miles an hour so everybody can see you

There’s an air of love and of happiness

And this is the Fresh Prince’s new denfintion of summer madness

Summer-summer-summertime

(Ooh, summertime)

Time to sit back and unwind

Summer-summer-summertime

(We got the summertime)

Time to sit back and unwind

Summer-summer-summertime

(We got the summertime)

Time to sit back and unwind

(Time to sit back and unwind)
