[Gm] Don't try to fix [G]
it, and think of the summers of the past.
Adjust the bass and let the [Gm] 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.
[Dm] [Gm]
[G] [Cm]
[Gm]
[Cm] School [G] is out and it's sort of a buzz.
But back then I didn't really know what it [Cm] was.
[Gm] But now I see what happened is, the ways that people respond to summer madness.
The weather is hot and girls are dressing [Dm] less.
And checking out the fellas to tell them [Gm] who's best.
Riding around in your Jeep or your [Dm] Benzos.
Or in your Nissan sitting on [G] Lorenzos.
Back in Philly we be out in the park.
A place called the Plateau is where everybody go.
[Gm] Guys out hunting and girls doing likewise.
[Dm] Honking at the honey in front of you [Gm] with the light eyes.
She turn around to see what you beaping at.
[Dm] It's like the summers of natural [Gm] aphrodisiac.
And with a fanny pad I can pose this rhyme.
[Dm] To hit you with and get you equipped for the [Cm] summertime.
[Gm]
[Dm] [Gm]
[G] And I ain't been on the court yet.
Hustle to the mall to get me a short set.
[Cm] Yeah I got [Gm] on sneaks but I need a new pair.
[F] Cause basketball court in the summer got [Gm] 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 [Bb] invited to a barbecue to [Dm] start the [G] war.
Sitting with your friends and y'all reminisce.
About the days growing up and the [Gm] first person you kiss.
And as I think back makes me wonder how the smell from a grill can [Fm] spark off [Gm] nostalgia.
All the kids playing out front.
Little boys messing around with the girls playing double dutch.
While the DJ's spinning a tune as the old folks [Dm] dance at your family [Gm] reunion.
Then six o [Cm]'clock rolls around.
You just finished wiping your [Gm] car down.
It's time to cruise so you roll to the summertime.
[F] Hang out it looks [Cm] like a car show.
[Gm]
Everybody come looking real [F] fine.
Fresh from the barber shop or flying from the beauty [Gm] salon.
Every moment fronting and massing.
[Dm] Chilling in the car they spend all day [Eb] waxing.
Leaning to the side but [G] you can't speak through.
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you.
[Cm] There's an air of love and of happiness.
And this is the fresh prince's new definition [Gm] of summer madness.
