| [00:09.85] |
Now even though I was only a young buck, I was still trying to kick it |
| [00:13.39] |
Having a gang of fun and much too young to be wicked |
| [00:15.66] |
Cause when I was thirteen you know we didn't have cars |
| [00:18.17] |
It was either double ride the peg nuts or hop on the handlebars |
| [00:21.52] |
And then we went and bought a gang of balloons and had |
| [00:23.89] |
A water balloon fight that lasted until the night |
| [00:27.01] |
Then after that we played some "Hide and Go Get It" |
| [00:28.98] |
With the neighborhood homegirls dumb enough to be with it |
| [00:31.67] |
All in fun and games and keeping it cool |
| [00:33.96] |
But my my, when you're kicking it, time flies by |
| [00:36.47] |
Cause every hour's a minute, and every minute's a sec |
| [00:38.18] |
And if I'd came home late, my moms would ring my neck, yeah |
| [00:42.53] |
But I regret not them whoopings I got |
| [00:44.67] |
Cause to be able to play the next day was okay |
| [00:47.17] |
On a mission, to hit up the neighbor's fruit trees |
| [00:49.51] |
Just a bunch of kids chillin', enjoying the summer breeze |
| [00:52.77] |
Summer breeze, flowing like the wind |
| [00:53.99] |
Boy you need to know that you got a friend |
| [00:57.79] |
And I'll always be here (I'll always be here) |
| [01:12.63] |
Now I'm growing some fuzz, getting older like 17 or 18 |
| [01:16.38] |
And the only thing I know is to stay clean |
| [01:18.39] |
T-shirt, short pants, Nikes on spotless T |
| [01:21.47] |
I was even old enough to buy me a Cutlass |
| [01:23.72] |
Or a vehicle to ride around town, flirt with the hoes and |
| [01:26.47] |
Roll down the window and mack to the one who's chosen |
| [01:28.96] |
Yo, them biker pants look kinda right on you |
| [01:31.06] |
My name is DJ Quik and my homies is having a barbeque |
| [01:34.26] |
Before I finish my whole sentence complete |
| [01:36.39] |
Yo she was off the bus stop and in my passenger seat |
| [01:39.03] |
And we was sliding to the Westside, stopped at the store |
| [01:41.68] |
To get some Boones Farm because that make 'em kick it a little more |
| [01:44.87] |
And at the spot, you know that chicken was kicking |
| [01:47.07] |
The pig on the grill, and so the day was chill |
| [01:49.48] |
But that night, my girl was tipsy and was ready to skeeze |
| [01:52.09] |
But I didn't even trip, too busy jocking the summer breeze |
| [01:55.21] |
Summer breeze, flowing like the wind |
| [01:57.78] |
Boy you need to know that you got a friend |
| [02:00.12] |
And I'll always be here (I'll always be here） |
| [02:15.80] |
Now I'm 23 and I remember the times when |
| [02:18.24] |
We was chillin' like villians and didn't have no nines |
| [02:20.78] |
Like when we used to mob to beaches to kick it and swim |
| [02:23.63] |
Now I hang around and watch the tides come in |
| [02:25.92] |
And I'm thinking how many funerals I've been to |
| [02:28.43] |
Watching all my homies get buried in them boxes they put 'em into |
| [02:31.58] |
And then I read a letter from upstate |
| [02:33.93] |
From my homie G-Wayne, who's been locked up since '87, '88 |
| [02:36.98] |
And it really ain't nothing fly about it |
| [02:38.99] |
So either I'mma stay strong or break down and simply cry about it |
| [02:42.08] |
And when it seem like things just ain't gon be right |
| [02:44.13] |
I gotta thank my creator for letting me sleep last night |
| [02:46.68] |
And waking me up in the morning because I shudder to think |
| [02:49.27] |
That that could be me dead or locked away in the clink |
| [02:52.19] |
So I'm lifting my homie's spirits as tall as the trees |
| [02:54.34] |
And I can even hear him calling me, in the summer breeze |
| [02:57.87] |
Summer breeze, flowing like the wind |
| [03:00.16] |
Boy you need to know that you got a friend |
| [03:02.46] |
And I'll always be here (I'll always be here) |
