Summertime '98 (Soul Power Remix)

Here it is

Here it is, a groove, slightly transformed

Like this

Here it is

Like this

Here it is, a groove, slightly transformed

Like this

Summer, summer, summertime

Time to sit back and unwind (Like this)

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, that moves romance?

Give me a soft, subtle mix

And if ain't broke, then don't try to fix it (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 this is summertime

Summer, summer, summertime (Ooh, summertime)

Time to sit back and unwind (Time to sit back and unwind)

Summer, summer, summertime (Summertime)

Time to sit back and unwind (Time to sit back and unwind)

(Summertime)

(Time to sit back and unwind)

School is out and there's a sort of a buzz

But 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, sitting on Lorenzos

Back in Philly, we'd 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 the light eyes

She turn around to see what you beeping at

It's like the summer's a natural aphrodisiac

And with a pen and pad, I compose this rhyme

To hip you and to get you equipped for the summertime

Summer, summer, summertime (Ooh, summertime)

Time to sit back and unwind (Time to sit back and unwind)

Summer, summer, summertime (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 on sneaks, but I need a new pair

'Cause basketball courts in the summer got girls there

The temperature's about eighty-eight

Popping 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 that's starting at four

Sitting with your friends as 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 nostalgia

All the kids playing out front

Little boys messing round with the girls playing double-dutch

While the DJ's spinning a tune

As the old folks dance at your family reunion

(Time to sit back and unwind)

Then six o'clock rolls around

You just finished wiping your car down (Summertime)

It's time to cruise, so you go to the summertime hangout

It looks like a car show

Everybody come looking real fine

Fresh from the barbershop, or fly from the beauty salon

Every moment fronting and maxing

Chilling in a car they spent all day waxing

Leaning 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

Summer, summer, summertime (Summertime)

Time to sit back and unwind (And unwind)

Summer, summer, summertime

Time to sit back and unwind (Like this)

(Here it is, a groove, slightly transformed)

Summer, summer, summertime (Don't you know, don't you know)

Time to sit back and unwind

(Here it is, a groove, slightly transformed) (And unwind)

Summer, summer, summertime (Summertime)

Time to sit back and unwind (Like this) (And unwind)

Summer, summer, summertime (Hey)

Time to sit back and unwind
