Summertime '98 - Soul Power Remix

[00:08.26] Drums please
[00:22.42] Summer, summer, summertime
[00:26.32] Time to sit back and unwind
[00:31.43] Here it is, the groove slightly transformed
[00:34.31] Just a bit of a break from the norm
[00:36.77] Just a little somethin' to break the monotony
[00:39.22] Of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be
[00:41.43] A little bit outta control, it's cool to dance
[00:44.13] But what about the groove that soothes
[00:46.98] That moves romance?
[00:48.25] Give me a soft subtle mix
[00:49.39] An' if ain't broke, then don't try to fix it
[00:51.34] An' think of the summers of the past
[00:54.19] Adjust the base an' let the Alpine blast
[00:56.47] Pop in my CD an' let me run a rhyme
[00:59.58] An' put your car on cruise an' lay back
[01:01.78] 'Cause this is summertime
[01:02.90] Summer, summer, summertime
[01:05.23] Time to sit back and unwind
[01:09.97] Summer, summer, summertime
[01:17.26] Time to sit back and unwind
[01:32.56] School is out an' it's a sort of a buzz
[01:34.81] An' back then I didn't really know what it was
[01:37.64] But now I see what have of this
[01:39.82] The way that people respond to summer madness
[01:42.87] The weather is hot an' girls are dressin' less
[01:44.91] An' checkin' out the fellas to tell 'em who's best
[01:47.35] Ridin' around in your jeep or your Benzos
[01:49.98] Or in your Nissan, sittin' on Lorenzos
[01:52.23] Back in Philly, we be out in the park
[01:54.79] A place called the Plateau is where everybody go
[01:57.45] Guys out huntin' an' girls doin' likewise
[01:59.96] Honkin' at the honey in front of you with the light eyes
[02:02.81] She turn around to see what you beepin' at
[02:05.28] It's like the summer's a natural aphrodisiac
[02:07.67] An' with a pen an' pad I compose this rhyme
[02:10.09] To hit you an' get you equipped for the summer time
[02:13.41] Summer, summer, summertime
[02:18.20] Time to sit back and unwind
[02:23.32] Summer, summer, summertime
[02:29.00] Time to sit back and unwind
[02:32.86] It's late in the day an' I ain't been on the court yet
[02:35.62] Hustle to the mall to get me a short set
[02:37.93] Yeah, I got on sneaks but I need a new pair
[02:40.15] 'Cause basketball courts, in the summer, got girls there
[02:42.91] The temperature's about 88
[02:45.31] Hop in the water plug just for old times sake
[02:47.84] Break to ya crib, change your clothes once more
[02:50.20] 'Cause you're invited to a barbecue that's startin' at 4
[02:53.04] Sittin' with your friends 'cause y'all reminisce
[02:55.22] About the days, growin' up an' the first person you kiss
[02:58.07] An' as I think back, makes me wonder how
[03:00.61] The smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia
[03:04.03] All the kids playin' out front
[03:05.62] Little boys messin' round with the girls playin' double dutch
[03:08.53] While the DJ's spinnin' a tune
[03:10.81] As the old folks dance at your family reunion
[03:13.64] Then six o'clock rolls around
[03:16.58] You just finished wipin' your car down
[03:19.20] It's time to cruise, so you head to the summertime hangout
[03:22.48] It looks like a car show
[03:24.18] Everybody come lookin' real fine
[03:25.95] Fresh from the barber shop or fly from the beauty salon
[03:28.84] Every moment frontin' an' maxin'
[03:30.89] Chillin', in the car they spent all day waxin'
[03:33.44] Leanin' to the side but you can't speed through
[03:35.91] Two miles an hour, so everybody sees you
[03:38.99] There's an air of love and of happiness
[03:40.95] And this is the Fresh Prince's new definition
[03:43.22] Of summer madness
[03:44.52] Summer, summer, summertime
[03:49.04] Time to sit back and unwind
[03:54.58] Summer, summer, summertime
[03:59.44] Time to sit back and unwind
[04:04.38] Summer, summer, summertime
[04:09.34] Time to sit back and unwind
[04:14.34]
