I've been working real hard
For just one reason
I've been waiting all year
For just one season
The season that reminds me of palm trees
The smell of the ocean breeze
And the sense of bein' free
Barbecues and pool parties
What I call fun

Hangin' with the homies
And enjoyin' the sun
24 hours just to clean the Benz
So you can cruise down the
Boulevard with your friends

Sights on the beach have got your mind blowin'
Drinks are on me, the money is flowin'
Right here is where you belong
So if you're down with me
Then get up and come along

So grab your stuff and lets all go outside
Bang your head to this for the ride
Leavin' all your cares right behind
For the summer
Everybody starts to feel the vibe
Drinks are in the cooler chilled on ice
Lay back and unwind cause nothing else matters
For the summertime

Had to take a sip on Ma's homemade
Freshly squeezed lemonade
Check out the hunnies in my brand new shades
As they lay on the sand
Toppin' up on the tans
Take in the scenery
The mood is fine
Nobody's wearin' their watches
Nobody's checking the time
There's only one thing that's on everybody's mind
That's the summer, the summer, the summer time

Sights on the beach have got your mind blowin'
Drinks are on me, the money is flowin'
Right here is where you belong
So if you're down with me
Then get up and come along

So grab your stuff and lets all go outside
Bang your head to this for the ride
Leavin' all your cares right behind
For the summertime
Everybody starts to feel the vibe
Drinks are in the cooler chilled on ice
Lay back and unwind cause nothing else matters
For the summertime

Right now we're going to bring it to ya one time

??Leavin' all your cares right behind
Everybody is feeling the vibe
Of the summer, of the summer

Leavin' all your cares behind
Everybody is feeling the vibe
Of the summer, the summer time

Grab your stuff and let's go back inside
Rhythm of the tune that's in your eyes
But didn't we have a good time

Destinations home, that's where we're going
The drinks are gone and the cash stopped flowin'
Say goodnight to all of your friends
Cause when tomorrow comes we're gonna do it all again

So grab your stuff and lets all go outside
Bang your head to this for the ride
Leavin' all your cares right behind
For the summertime
Everybody starts to feel the vibe
Drinks are in the cooler chilled on ice
Just lay back and unwind cause nothing else matters
For the summertime

Give me world, that's equal on all sides
Let freedom flow, as constant as the tides
I pray with each sunset, don't forget to rise
(Don't forget to rise)
I live without regret an ordinary life

I'm looking at life, through my own eyes
I'm searching for a hero to idolize
Feeling the pain, as innocent sties

Looking at life, through my own eyes

I'm hoping and praying for a brighter day
I listen to my heart and I obey
How can I see it any other way
I'm looking at life
(Looking at life)
Through my own eyes

I see a land, with liberty for all
Yet still I know, the truth will rise and fall
(Oooh... yeaha)
That's just the way it goes
A word now to the wise
The world was made to change
Each day is a surprise

Looking at life, through my own eyes
Searching for a hero to idolize
Feeling the pain, as innocent sties
