SINGER: The Roots

SONG:Lazy Afternoon

Chorus
------

It's a lazy afternoon
(summertime, as i recline, lay back and relax, let the sun shine)

Verse 1
-------

[black thought]

Consider this a message to my mellow in the front seat
Of the jeep pumpin' beats for your rump
In the summertime i'm risin' to the shine at 12:20
Ghetto streets are sunny, niggas is gettin' money
It's mad hot, and what i got to do i'm not sure of
I call up maura, this dip i know from bora bora
Was rappin' for a second about what i reckoned that i

Was doin' at six, she was invitin' me to the flicks
That i'm with, blew a kiss <click> now i'm in the shower
I meant the bath in which i simmer for half an hour
Then got drier, put on attire to inspire
Hit my dresser for numbers of women that i admire
Laid around and lounged 'til around two
Then i got up and ate, drank a brew and caught a page from the crew
Sayin' "where ya at? later, meet us up at the plat
Bring a sack, ayo it's saturday, it's gonna be fat"
Now it's 3:37 and i still ain't left the rest
Electric relaxation from a tribe called quest
With the boom, tokin', smokin', coolin' out
As i parlay in my room 'cause it's a lazy afternoon
