"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 reminisce/About the days growing up, and the first person you kiss/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 head 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 definition of summer madness"
-The Fresh Prince, "Summertime"
