Roots - Lazy Afternoon lyrics

Chorus<br />

<br />

It's a lazy afternoon<br />

(Summertime, as I recline, lay back and relax, let the sun shine)<br />

<br />

Verse 1<br />

<br />

[Black Thought]<br />

Consider this a message to my mellow in the front seat<br />

Of the Jeep pumpin' beats for your rump<br />

In the summertime I'm risin' to the shine at 12:20<br />

Ghetto streets are sunny, niggas is gettin' money<br />

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

I call up Maura, this dip I know from Bora Bora<br />

Was rappin' for a second about what I reckoned that I<br />

<br />

Was doin' at six, she was invitin' me to the flicks<br />

That I'm with, blew a kiss Now I'm in the shower<br />

I meant the bath in which I simmer for half an hour<br />

Then got drier, put on attire to inspire<br />

Hit my dresser for numbers of women that I admire<br />

Laid around and lounged 'til around two<br />

Then I got up and ate, drank a brew and caught a page from the crew<br />

Sayin' "Where ya at? Later, meet us up at the Plat<br />

Bring a sack, ayo it's Saturday, it's gonna be fat"<br />

Now it's 3:37 and I still ain't left the rest<br />

Electric Relaxation from A Tribe Called Quest<br />

With the boom, tokin', smokin', coolin' out<br />

As I parlay in my room 'cause it's a lazy afternoon<br />
