Live At Union Square (november 1986) Lyrics - Will Smith

Summer summer summertime 

Time to sit back and unwind 

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

Summer summer summertime 

Time to sit back and unwind 

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

Summer summer summertime 

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 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 

Summer summer summertime 

Time to sit back and unwind
