(At the tone the time will be
8:59 and 10 seconds)

[ VERSE 1: Hi-see ]
Nine o'clock in the morning, yes, I got dressed
Thought about my girl with the big fat breast
So I called her up and asked could I see her today
She said okay, so I said, "I see ya Shante"

Hung up the phone, then I threw on my clothes
I pulled some tissue off the roll to blow the boogers out my nose
Put on my chain and my boots and things
Bout to step out the house and heard the telephone ring
I grabbed the telephone just to see what was up
She said, "Gimme the place and time and we could hook up"
I said, "Okay then, why don't you meet me in the park?
At a quarter to five, cause at six it get dark"
She said she didn't mind, okay it's on
So I grabbed my Skanless jacket, then I hung up the phone
I stepped out the house, smilin and grinnin
Sayin to myself, hot damn I'm winnin

[ CHORUS ]
Oh what shall I, what shall I, what shall I do
Sittin in the park waitin for you
Oh what shall I, what shall I, what shall I do
Shall I slap the trick and tell the tramp it's through?
I'm (sitting in the park waiting for you)

[ VERSE 2: Hi-see ]
On the way to the park I had to stop at the sto'
When bums beg me for a quarter I usually say no
But that day I made all they butt holler
Went in my pocket, gave the poor fellas a dollar
They couldn't believe it, they had to ask me what's wrong
I said, "Yo, just take this dollar and get yo butt on"
I bailed five or six blocks with a skip and a hop
Mmh... what's that smell? Oh, the flower shop
Now I pulled a lotta girlies out they panty hose
And never never have I ever bought a chick no rose
But that day I had to be the Life Saver
To top it all off, I rushed to 31 Flavors
The girl said she loved me, she said I was cute
But all I thought about was just knockin her boots
I thought about doin it with no hesitation
Now I'm sittin in the park just waitin

[ CHORUS ]

[ VERSE 3: Hi-see ]
Now I'm sittin on a bench with my back against the fence
Hi-see's not dumb, I got a gang of sense
Flowers in my hand, ice cream in a cup
I'm thinkiin to myself, won't this girl hurry up?
I seen my homies comin and my butt puckered up
They said, "There go the homie Crawf, hey Hi-see, what's up?"
I grabbed the roses, tried to hide 'em behind my back
But I was stuck in a - ouch - caught in the act
Then a old man walked up to me
He said, "You know, whatever will be, will be"
I said, "Excuse me sir, I don't mean to be rude
( ? ) I'm in a bad mood"
He said, "Look like you got yourself a few problems
Why me bein a old man, maybe I can solve em"
"Pops, that sound familiar, what shall I do?"
"Well, just slap that trick and tell the tramp it's through"

(Sitting in the park waiting for you)

Overall Meaning

The song "In The Park" by S.E.C.T. (Soul Clap Tanner Ross Sergio Santos) feat. Ben Westbeech tells a story about a man named Hi-see who is waiting in the park for his girl to arrive. Hi-see is excited to see his girlfriend and is on his way to the park with flowers and ice cream in hand. He encounters some bums who ask him for money, and he kindly offers them a dollar. Hi-see also stops by a flower shop and 31 Flavors to buy some ice cream, where he is flattered by a girl who says she loves him. Throughout the song, Hi-see reflects on his day and the anticipation of seeing his girlfriend. As he waits, he receives advice from an older man about his problems with his girlfriend, and the old man suggests that Hi-see should tell her it's over.

The song's lyrics paint a vivid image of Hi-see's surroundings and emotions, from the sound of the telephone ringing to the smell of flowers in the air. The use of slang and colloquial language in the lyrics adds depth to the character of Hi-see, and the chorus's repetition of "sitting in the park waiting for you" builds a sense of tension and excitement.

Line by Line Meaning

Nine o'clock in the morning, yes, I got dressed
I woke up at nine and got ready

Thought about my girl with the big fat breast
Thinking about my girlfriend's body

So I called her up and asked could I see her today
Called and asked if we could meet up

I said, 'I see ya Shante'
Referred to her by her name

Put on my chain and my boots and things
Getting dressed with accessories

I said, 'Okay then, why don't you meet me in the park?
Agreed to meet in the park

At a quarter to five, cause at six it get dark'
Chose time to meet

'Gimme the place and time and we could hook up'
Confirmed time and location

She said she didn't mind, okay it's on
She agreed to the plan

Oh what shall I, what shall I, what shall I do
Thinking about what to do while waiting

Sitting in the park waiting for you
Waiting for her to arrive

On the way to the park I had to stop at the sto'
Stopped at a store on the way to the park

But that day I made all they butt holler
Gave money to the homeless that begged

They couldn't believe it, they had to ask me what's wrong
The homeless were surprised and asked why

I said, 'Yo, just take this dollar and get yo butt on'
Told the homeless to take the money and leave

Flowers in my hand, ice cream in a cup
Holding flowers and eating ice cream

I'm thinkiin to myself, won't this girl hurry up?
Impatiently waiting for her to arrive

Then a old man walked up to me
An old man approached me

He said, 'You know, whatever will be, will be'
The old man offered sage advice

('Sitting in the park waiting for you')
Still waiting for her to arrive
