It's a lazy afternoon (everybody wake up) 
(Summertime, as I recline) (it's a lazy afternoon)
(Lay back and relax, let the sun shine) it's a lazy afternoon 
(Summertime, as I recline) (it's a lazy afternoon)
(Lay back and relax, let the sun shine) (that's right, lay back to back)
It's a lazy afternoon
(Summertime, as I recline) (it's a lazy afternoon)
(The Roots in the house) (lay back and relax, let the sun shine)
It's a lazy afternoon 
(Summertime, as I recline) (it's a lazy afternoon)
It's a lazy afternoon (lay back and relax, let the sun shine) (one, two)

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 'bout 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

It's a lazy afternoon 
(Summertime, as I recline) (it's a lazy afternoon)
(Lay back and relax, let the sun shine) it's a lazy afternoon 
(Summertime, as I recline) (it's a lazy afternoon)
(Lay back and relax, let the sun shine) (come on)
It's a lazy afternoon
(Summertime, as I recline) (it's a lazy afternoon)
(Black Thought in the house) (lay back and relax, let the sun shine)
It's a lazy afternoon 
(Summertime, as I recline) (it's a lazy afternoon)
(Lay back and relax, let the sun shine)
It's a lazy afternoon (on, two)

Consider this a message to my mellow in the front seat (huh)
Of the Jeep pumpin' beats for your rump
In the summertime I'm risin' to the shine at 12:20

It's mad hot, and what I got to do I'm not sure of

I meant the bath in which I simmer for half an hour
Then got drier, put on attire to inspire (yo)
Hit my dresser for numbers of women that I admire (yo, yo)
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
