Drive -in movies

We should link up, do something unusual

Catch a musical, maybe some dinner too
Take a ride to the coast

Dm
The concrete swells from the heat
The sweet smell of frankincense
Emerge from the street

Vendor ducking police

Millions of pieces from the same puzzle
Same struggle, new generation

A nation inside a nation
Dm
A city inside a city
Everybody is ready
In their eyes I can see a new horizon
Em
Dm
The urban sunset
The lights in the projects
Em
protect young mothers with
welfare checks
Gamblers place bets on
the World Cup
Mothers curling up their daughters'
C
Em
Headed to the kitchen, yada,
Dm
nothing better than a summer
celebration
Winter's our vacation,
when it's hotter than July
Em
I'm back on that pavement
Dm
Remember back in the days?
House parties in the basement
We was jamming to the radio station
Bbm
The DJ would play that one
jam
Dm
that would make all
Bbm
the girls dance
Everybody in the hood would attend
Dm
Bbm
I didn't think it ever would end

Em
Bugging out, just me and my friends
I wanna do it again

Dm
Don't have to wait for holidays

This should be everyday
I wake up early in the morning
Do my sun salutation
C
Get back starting out the day
Em
In deep meditation
Dm
No work, no school, no shirt
No shoes today,
Em
all I gotta do is go to a barbecue
Dm
Fire hy drants as waterfalls
We at the fruit stand
with food stamps
Em
Watching lil sis do her new dance
Dm
Baby's being born
New parents so happy
Lil nappy -haired soldier
Em
look just like his daddy
Dm
Welcome to the hood,
lil homie, what it do?
Em
When you look up in the sky
and see the sun,
Dm
that's you
Summertime
