If you've ever been or lived in

the city (summertime in the city)

Then you'll know what I'm

goin' to talk about

Oh, little petty badies tryin' to sleep

Well, oh, I'm a- tryna keep

them out of the heat

Just tryna trap it, yes,

blockin' up the street

Well, the jukebox playin' a funky beat

(have you ever been there?)
