Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hi, this is Huggy Boy
This is goin' out to all the homies on a Sunday afternoon
[Verse 2]
Sittin' in the park on a Sunday afternoon
Me and the crew just jammin' the oldy tune
Sippin' on a cold bottle of brewski
Gave O' a swig, he passed it back to me
Right about then up came some of the homies
Mike, Elia P, J Smooth, Phil and Larry
Busted out the ice chest
Phil popped the cooler
Elia P drunk brew, nothin' better to do
Mike, his cup, yo was filled with bird
J Smooth had a cold glass too, you know it, word
Girls at the place preparin' the food
The sky was clear and the weather was cool
Kids at the playground playin' on the merry go round
All the cars cruisin', bumpin' their funky sound
'Cause it's Sunday last day for a funday
Back to business as usual come Monday
At the park everythin' went real smooth
On a Sunday Afternoon
[Verse 3]
We were chillin' in the park
Just waitin' for the sun to go down
(On a Sunday afternoon)
It was me, Shiro and the homies
A Lighter Shade of Brown
(On a Sunday afternoon)
[Verse 4]
I said, chill
All the vatos in the park stay ill
Playin' horseshoes to win the bill
Carne Asada slappin' on the grill
So now we eat
The cops cruise by lookin' for the booze
But what Ruben was plainly simply apple juice
Comin' up short just like a fool
Went back to his car with nothin' he could do
All the cars in the parkin' lot low profilin'
Everywhere you look you see somebody stylin'
Cars with lifts rollin' deep with boomin' sounds
It's a good time to cruise around
In the parkin' lot where the brownie was stackin'
And all the vatos were lookin' for some action, yeah
[Verse 5]
We were chillin' in the park
Just waitin' for the sun to go down
(On a Sunday afternoon)
It was me, Shiro and the homies
A Lighter Shade of Brown
(On a Sunday afternoon)
[Verse 6]
Well, the sun was set and it began to get dark
And we were gettin' ready to leave the park
We had a good time (Ah, yeah)
Yeah, we had a good day
Packed our stuff up and we was on our way
Yo, mackin' the brownies as we all cut 'em off at the pass
But they was all actin' soft
As we pulled up, they were actin' all shy to us
But eses, yo, wanna know who's the flyest
We bowed out and Jimmy Hassler passed out
Una esta fea, so hey yo pimps jacked out
Comin' up short, they give us no run
So, yo, homies, consider this a dry one
Time to cruise the boulevard
Time to have
I'm guaranteed to find a brownie while the night is young
We were rollin', yeah, lookin' real smooth
'Cause cruisin' wittier is how we ended our afternoon
[Verse 7]
Smooth chillin'
Just kickin' it
With the top down low to the ground
I know they be watchin' me
Smooth chillin'
Just kickin' it
With the top down low to the ground
I pump it up for you
Smooth, smooth
Just chillin'
On a Sunday Afternoon
Oh, pump it up for you
Oh
