The Roots - Lazy afternoon

this song is from the 1995 album "Do you want more?!!!??!"

Lyrics:
Chorus
It's a lazy afternoon
(Summertime, as I recline, lay back and relax, let the sun shine)

Verse 1
[Black Thought]
Consider this a message to my mellow in the front seat
of the Jeep pumpin' beats for your rump
In the summertime I'm risin' to the shine at 12:20
Ghetto streets are sunny, niggas is gettin' money
It's mad hot, and what I got to do I'm not sure of
I call up Maura, this dip I know from Bora Bora
Was rappin' for a second about what I reckoned that I
was doin' at six, she was invitin' me to the flicks
That I'm with, blew a kiss Now I'm in the shower
I meant the bath in which I simmer for half an hour
Then got drier, put on attire to inspire
Hit my dresser for numbers of women that I admire
Laid around and lounged 'til around two
Then I got up and ate, drank a brew and caught a page from the crew
sayin' "Where ya at? Later, meet us up at the Plat
Bring a sack, ayo it's Saturday, it's gonna be fat"
Now it's 3:37 and I still ain't left the rest
Electric Relaxation from A Tribe Called Quest
with the boom, tokin', smokin', coolin' out
as I parlay in my room 'cause it's a lazy afternoon

Other verses as Verse 1, with the following variations:

Verse 2: "this dip I knew from Bora Bora"
"'cause it's a lazy aaaaaahh!" (dental style :-)

Verse 3: " I'm in the shower"
"a page from my crew"
"Bring a sack, nigga, it's Saturday"

I love how all of The Roots music sound just as ill in 2010 as it did in 95

[dpat2004]

I luv the Roots. I think Black Thought is a very slept on lyricist and The Roots is a very talented slept on hip hop group. They should of blew up way more than they have. They just bring a different element to hip hop that I think just isnt respected enuff. Theys guys are super talented. those who slept wake up and take sum no doz cause yall are missin out.

@clippers334: The Knowmads are dope, don't hate before you listen.

[morofjompen]

prolly the best live hip hop group ever.. ever since 93.. they are all musicians.

@MuzikEsLife dude you're totally wrong. Let real heads talk on this thread and you can go promote your friends tracks on some some wack emcee's page. I too usually don't stoop low to comment on comments but damn dude to say this isn't hip hop should be one of the 7 deadly sins, you need some repentance son.

@pepo91088 "that all mighty amazing, ill, highly contagious"

[clippers334]

@pepo91088 come on man thats the old "sick" even on their old joint with common he says "I'm from the state that is ill" and he's not just saying that cause it's short for Illinois.

[pepo91088]
