Backyard Party
R. Kelly Lyrics

Everyone's happy
All of the guests are content and joyful

Finally it's the weekend
After a long week of work, the weekend has arrived

All the hard work's behind me, yeah
The host has completed all of their necessary tasks and is ready to relax

And I just invited all my friends
The host has invited their close friends to join in on the celebration

I'm bout to throw something on the grill
The host is going to start cooking food on the grill

And get together and play some cards, yeah
The guests will socialize and play card games together

A couple of drinks, something to smoke and do our thing
The guests will enjoy some alcoholic beverages and possibly smoke cigarettes or other substances

No one's got hating in their hearts woah
All of the guests are friendly and there is no negativity present

A backyard party
Everyone is gathered together outdoors for a celebration

Oh I thank god it's summer
The host is grateful for the warm season so they can enjoy the backyard party

'Cause it feels so good to be outside, yeah
Being outside in the fresh air is a pleasurable experience for the host

And the music sounds like heaven yeah
The music being played is enjoyable and pleasing to the ears

Makes me wanna grab a towel and clean my ride
The host feels motivated to clean their car while listening to the music

And then mingle with the girls
The host will socialize with the female guests

And I wish that they could feel this celebration
The host hopes the guests are all happy and enjoying themselves

All around the world hey hey, it's
The happiness being experienced at the party is something that could be enjoyed worldwide

And even if it
Even if the weather turns unfavorable

Even if it looks like rain
If it appears to be raining

I'm given joy's gonna chase the rain away
The host believes that the positive energy at the party will overcome the gloomy weather

Rain rain, go away
The host is hoping for the rain to stop

'Cause we gonna take some shots
Despite the weather, the guests will still consume alcoholic shots

We'll take some shots yeah
The guests are going to consume alcoholic shots even if it rains

And just hope for a brighter day
Everyone at the party is optimistic that the weather will improve

I feel like yeah
The host feels happy and enthusiastic

I feel like woah
The host feels excited and energetic

All we doin' is havin'
The only thing happening at the party is people enjoying themselves

Everyone's in the pool
All of the guests are swimming in the pool

I don't follow no rules
The host does not enforce strict rules at the party

Listen the music is loud and the atmosphere is cool
The music being played is loud and the vibe is relaxing

Everybody listen, you know how we do
Everyone is gathered together in a familiar manner that they have experienced before

Is now ? the drinks, ? you the drinks
It is time to serve alcohol to the guests

And barbecue
The host will grill food to serve to the guests

The sun is shining and the sky is so blue
The weather has cleared up and the sun is shining bright
