Lyrics
in the summer (in the rmx)
summer.. city..
summer.. in the what? in the where?
city.. in the what? in the where?
summer.. city.. city.. in the summer..
in the summer.. city.. city.. in the summer..
nights get shorter, the days are gettin’ longer
the weather’s gettin’ warmer, y’all know what it‘s time for
fun with a friend, new fashions and trends
same way every year, this is how it begins
in and out of doors, everybody enjoys
boys chasin’ girls, girls, girls chasin’ boys
noise of the kids that’s playin’ on the street
waitin’ on that ice cream truck for a treat
feelin’ of passion, romancin’ renewal
causing coziness cuz you know that it’s cool to
be with your baby, or maybe just a lady friend
spending every single day as if it was a weekend
speakin’ to your people, and everything is all right
findin’ out what we finna to do tonight
cuz tonight’s the night, come one, come all
summer in the city, just listen to the call
chorus:
in the summer, in the city
(in the summer.. city.. in the what? in the where?)
(summer.. city.. city.. summer.. in the what? in the where?)
(summer.. city.. city.. summer.. in the what? in the where?)
in the summer, in the city- yeah..
(summer.. city.. in the what? in the where?)
(in the summer.. city.. city.. summer.. in the what? in the where?)
(summer.. city.. city.. summer.. in the what? in the where?)
it’s a summer time thing, and you know what it’s all about
just being cool, swinging’ and hangin’ out
all about town the summertime sounds pound
convertibles top down, it’s time to cruise..
down to the spot where the action is hot! hot!
the cuties flock as the systems knock
aye yo! out on the ave someone grabs your eye
so you tap your horn, and she waves ‘hi!’ (what’s up pa?!)
time to go for what you know, just flow with the fever
you can’t deny eye to eye, it’s casual procedure
ends to a means, and the seams burnin’ up
now it’s back to the house cuz it’s time to freshen up
out of the old, and into the new
now it’s time to be out and do how we do
tonight’s the night, come on, come all
summer in the city, just listen to the call
chorus
hot night- in the summer, in the city
bright lights- in the summer
street life- in the summer, in the city
feels right- in the summer
it was a hot night- in the summer, in the city
under bright lights- in the summer
livin’ the street life- in the summer, in the city
you know it feels right- in the summer
it’s a never-ending cycle, and we not trying to front
just staying cool from the heat is what we want
so I head to beach, and reach a little higher
whichever way I sway, it’s a similar desire
everyone is high-posting cuz they feel fly
from foot to dome, head back on home
I can’t stay away, I’m from around the way
summer nights are cool, don’t need a pool cuz I’m okay
I got my buds, fat dubs, and a grill so we chill
with a backyard deal, and eight weeks to kill
I wet my throat a bit, sum up the entire day
a slight interruption, neighbors hop the fence to play
everyone is high- posting fly
it’s hard to deny, and odd, so then why
tonight’s the night, come one, come all
it’s summer in the city, just listen..
