The DJ's spinning a tune, but not how we know it for this is somebody's 2006 definition of Summer madness. Yes it's Summertime, now with 100% more noticeable bassline and audible chatter at the end ('eeny meeny miny moe now' indeed). Remix of Summertime from Essential R&B - Autumn 2006. (discogs.com/Various-Essential-RB-Autumn-2006/release/1761238)
Sorry again to Germans, Youtube hates you listening to good music.
Intro/Chorus: *sung*
summer summer summertime
time to sit back and unwind
Verse One: Fresh Prince
Here it is the groove slightly transformed
just a bit of a break from the norm
just a little somethin' to break the monotony
of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be
a little bit out of control it's cool to dance
but what about the groove that soothes that moves romance
give me a soft subtle mix
and if ain't broke then don't try to fix it
and think of the summers of the past
adjust the base and let the alpine blast
pop in my CD and let me run a rhyme
and put your car on cruise and lay back cause this is summertime
Chorus
Verse Two: Fresh Prince
school is out and it's a sort of a buzz
a back then I didn't really know what it was
but now I see what have of this
the way that people respond to summer madness
the weather is hot and girls are dressing less
and checking out the fellas to tell 'em who's best
riding around in your jeep or your benzos
or in your Nissan stting on lorenzos
back in Philly we be ou in the park
a place called the plateau is where everybody goes
guys out hunting and girls doing likewise
honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes
she turn around to see what you beeping at
it's like the summers a natural afradesiac
and with a pen and pad I compose this rhyme
to hit you and get you equipped for the summer time
Chorus
Verse Three: Fresh Prince
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 remincise
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 spead 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 defintion of summer madness
Chorus

![MC Duke - Night Train
From the Recorded Delivery - The Royal Male EP. Lyrics:
[Scratching: 8 bars]
All Aboard!
[Verse 1: MC Duke]
Dark as night, got a sight with a flashlight
Heres a thought that I had last night
Positive thought I was taught from the main
Never taught to report or be caught on a low plane
Dont be insane, this is the brain game
We die, lie, try to defy the same fate
Slaying masses, killed by the classes
Slowly you show me, I drown in molasses
Sweet is the smile, greetings I made
But you cant repair bullet wounds with a band aid
Never fade to gray, cos it pays to play
Are you going my way? Im on the night train
[Scratching: 4 bars]
Night train
[Scratching: 4 bars]
[Verse 2: MC Duke]
Thoughts and problems seem to concern me
Preserve concern kept my nerve on the journey
Time for fasting, Im not the last in line
Youll find that I do the casting
While youre basing, others are facing
Dont like the flavour of food youre tasting
Authority chasing, others amazing
A number no wonder theyre on your case and
Food for thought, just bought, heres the meal
The cuts are deep cos you eat with the cold steel
Pleasure you measure seems to end in pain
All aboard again, Im on the night train
[Scratching: 4 bars]
Night train
[Scratching: 4 bars]
[Verse 3: MC Duke]
Questions, suggestions, designed to blow your mind
Rap your wrist, you dissed cos I showed the time
And you owe me mine, cos youre lowly slime
Try to talk but walk with a whole B line
No use, Im powerful for my recital
Saw the colour in the eyes of your idol
Blue for you, its true who, but not my crew
Is it all in the mind or what we do?
Can you distinguish what is within this?
Is it bliss or a twist to begin this
Story of glory surely, Im sure we
Can bring the plane to sane
Get on the night train
[Scratching: 4 bars]
Night train
[Scratching: 4 bars]
Break it on down
[Scratching: 4 bars]
[Verse 4: MC Duke]
It was me who out done you, I make you wonder
A voice like thunder, rhymes just to run you
Im coarse, of course you lost, no remorse, youre hoarse
A force, send a rhyme like morse code
I out sold but not sold out, I shout
Like a slap in a mouth so have no doubt
That Im a river or roarer or a high scorer
I wont bore you, style like a lawyer
I plead my case in case you bleed I flip seed
And heed, all books I read and need
I say more? Suckers I slay
All aboard again, Im on the night train
Not a train that goes to nowhere
But I go there so let me show where
That each and every man has a plan and
Makes a stand and no-ones in command
And damn those who wont make it possible
To those I suppose I act hostile
I bring the thing to King, let freedom rain
All aboard again, Im on the night train
[Scratching: 4 bars]
Think about it, Im on the night train
[Scratching: 4 bars]
Yeah MC Duke - Night Train](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/G3n7MSx9zrY/mqdefault.jpg)
