DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Summertime `98 (Soul Power Remix)

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
it's cool to dance
But what about the groove
that soothes that
moves romance
Give me a soft subtle mix
And if ain't broke then
don't 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
Summer summer summertime
Time to sit back and unwind
Summer summer summertime
Time to sit back and unwind
School is out and
it'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
Ridin around in your jeep
or your benzos
Or in your nissan stting
on lorenzos
Back in Philly we be ou
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 summers a
natural afrodesiac
And with a pen and pad
I compose this rhyme
To hit you and get you
equipped for the summer time
Summer summer summertime
Time to sit back and unwind
Summer summer summertime
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 88
Hop in the water plug
just for old times sake
Break to ya crib change
your clothes once more
Cause you're invited to a
barbeque that's starting at 4
Sitting with your friends
cause y'all remincise
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 messin round
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
You just finished
wiping your car down
It's time to cruise so you
go 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 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 defintion of
summer madness
Summer summer summertime
Time to sit back and unwind
Summer summer summertime
Time to sit back and unwind
Summer summer summertime
Time to sit back and unwind
Summer summer summertime
Time to sit back and unwind
Summer summer summertime
Time to sit back and unwind

Seems to have disappeared from Youtube, so here it is again. Instrumental for the radio mix.

DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince - Summertime '98 (SoulPower Hip Hop Mix)

Yet another version of what appears to be the most remixed song in history. This is the one that has the saxaphone* in it (i.e. the one that appears in all of Jazzy Jeff's mixes). Took me forever...
