Starting point is 00:00:00 You remember that one day summer passed? When we threw them piss balloons at them Terrace Boys? You remember, just before school started up again. You know? I took a beatdown from them boys. I don't even throw a shadow on them. That was a day. Y'all bought me ice cream off the truck.
Starting point is 00:00:24 You remember, Mike? Isn't it a pity Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk harder than a match head But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come on, come on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity The days can't be like the nights
Starting point is 00:01:01 In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city in the summer, in the city Cool cow meetin' in the city Dressed so fine and lookin' so pretty Cool cat lookin' for a kitty Gonna look in every corner of the city Till I'm wheezin' like a bus stop Runnin' up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
Starting point is 00:01:19 But at night it's different, well Go out and find a girl Come on, come on, let's dance all night. Just like the heat, it'll be alright. And babe, don't you know it's a pity the days can't be like the nights in the summer, in the city, in the summer summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down, isn't it a pity Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk Harder than a match head pretty. Been down, isn't it a pity? Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city. All around people looking half dead
Starting point is 00:02:06 walking on the sidewalk harder than a match head. But tonight it's a different world. Go out and find a girl. Come on, come on, if that's all night. Despite the heat
Starting point is 00:02:17 it'll be alright. Babe, don't you know it's a pity the days can't be like the nights in the summer in the city. Summer in the city Summer
Starting point is 00:02:25 in the city drums please Here it is, a groove slightly transformed Just a bit of a break from the norm Just a little something 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 a groove that soothes and moves romance? Give me a soft, subtle mix, and if it ain't broke, 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 the summertime I just sit back and I'm fine Summer, summer, summertime Summer time I just sit back and I'm fine
Starting point is 00:04:29 I just sit back and School is out and it's sort of a buzz But back then I didn't really know what it was But now I see what habit is The way that people respond to summer madness The weather is hot and girls are dressing less And checking out the fellas to tell them who's best Riding around in your Jeep or your Benzos
Starting point is 00:04:49 Or in your Nissan sitting on Lorenzos Back in Philly we be out in the park A place called the Plateau is where everybody go Guys out hunting and girls doing likewise Honking at the honey in front of you with delight eyes She turn around and see what you beaving at It's like the summer's a natural aphrodisiac And with a pen and pad I compose this rhyme
Starting point is 00:05:09 To hip you and to get you equipped for the summertime Summer, summer, summertime I'm just sick like I'm done, boy I'm just sick like I'm done, boy Summer, summer, summertime Don't you sit back and don't worry Don't you sit back and don't worry It's late in the day and I ain't been on the court yet
Starting point is 00:05:34 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 time's sake Break to your crib, change your clothes once more Cause you're invited to a barbecue to startin' at four Sittin' with your friends as y'all reminisce
Starting point is 00:05:54 About the days growin' up and the first person you kissed And as I think back, makes me wonder how The smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia All the kids playin' out front Little boys messin' round with around 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
Starting point is 00:06:15 You just finished wiping your car down It's time to cruise, so you go to the summertime Hang out, it looks like a car show Everybody come looking real fine Fresh from the barbershop and fly from the beauty salon Every moment fronting and maxing Chillin in the car they spend all day waxing Leanin to the side but you can't speed 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 definition of summer madness
