Monday Morning Monologue - Summertime - Will Smith


Best known as the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Will Smith has been a rising pop music sensation, a television star, and a movie superstar.
You gotta admire a man who "would rather be playing in the dirt with [his] kid" (Jersey Girl, with Ben Affleck). Married to Jada Pinkett-Smith, with kids, he has ever remained the family man - few scandals, and his art form something he can always share with his children.
So, why today, why Summertime??? (Don't forget to click the playlist so you can hear the tune!!!)
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 its cool to dance
But what about the groove that soothes that moves romance
Give me a soft subtle mix
And if aint broke then dont 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
School is out and its a sort of a buzz
A back then I didnt really know what it was
But now I see what have of this
The way that people respond to summer madness
Back in philly we be ou in the park
A place called the plateau is where everybody goes
Its late in the day and I aint 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 temperatures about 88
Hop in the water plug just for old times sake
Break to ya crib change your clothes once more
Cause youre invited to a barbeque thats starting at 4
Sitting with your friends cause yall 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 djs spinning a tune as the old folks dance at your family
Reunion
Then six oclock rolls around
You just finished wiping your car down
Its 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 cant spead through
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
Theres an air of love and of happiness
And this is the fresh princes new defintion of summer madness
(I editted out a verse or so - it didn't fit with my theme!!!) Summer is always busy, but let's remember that we need to relax, unwind, play games, chill, hang out with friends and fam. After the last few months, I could defenitely use the break.
It's Summertime!!!
