Lazy Day
Us3 Lyrics

Well it's the lazy days, what? The lazy days
I am enjoying a chill day in, taking it easy.

I'm sittin' back in my lounge chair stone cold maxin'
I am lounging comfortably, completely relaxed and calm.

Thinkin' 'bout the next MC I'm gonna wax
I am considering the next person I'll outdo in a rap battle.

In concert, goin' beserk, but not today
While usually I'm performing energetically in concerts, today I'm relaxing.

Today I'm cold chillin' right around my way
I'm taking it easy and enjoying my home and surroundings.

Say partner would you run to the store and buy me a philly
Can you please go to the store and get me a Philly cigar?

Roll up the ism and get illy
Roll up some cannabis and let's smoke it.

Coolin' while I rule 'cos I went to school
I am lounging and feeling content because of my education and accomplishments.

I'm lampin' with my girl travel round the world
I'm relaxing with my significant other, enjoying life.

I'm puffin' on the hay the nubian way
I am smoking cannabis, which is common in African cultures.

So parlez parlez parlez 'cos it's a lazy day
Let's chat and relax because today is all about taking it easy.

Well in 1991 I was out to have fun, but in 1992 I hit the rocks for a few
In 1991, I enjoyed myself, but in 1992 I had a few tough experiences.

But now it's 1993 and kid it's all about me
This year is all about me and my success.

And now I'm lampin' in the shade 'cos I'm P-A-I-D
I'm relaxing in the shade because I have a lot of money.

On my way home one day I ran into this girl, she said
I met a girl on the street who said to me...

"Hi-C would you take me for a whirl in your beamer?"
"Hi-C, can we go for a ride in your fancy car?"

I said nope 'cos she's a schemer
I declined because I didn't trust her motives.

I stay away from hookers tryin' to take me to the cleaners
I avoid women who are looking to take advantage of me.

Rancho, Sanchero, I'm makin' mad De Niro
I am making a lot of money and feeling successful.

Ya don't like my style, huh, so check it
If you don't like the way I do things, then listen up.

When I rock the mic kid ya better obey
I am a skilled rapper, and you should pay attention to my music.

And take heed to what I say 'cos it's a lazy day
Listen to and consider what I'm saying, even though it's a relaxing day.

Well I made it back to my crib in one piece
I made it home safely without incident.

It never ceases to amaze when my vocal's released
I am constantly surprised at how well my music is received.

Mom Dukes knocked on my door, she said "Go to the store
My mother came to my door and asked me to run an errand for her.

I need some greens and cornbread, and boy cut off those dreads"
She needs some groceries and for me to cut my hair.

So I went to the store then hopped to the barber shop
I went to the store and then immediately went to get my hair cut.

I told my man Ed to hook up the low flat top
I asked my barber Ed to give me a specific kind of haircut.

This kid Boo was there, he said he had a sack
Someone named Boo was there and said he had some cannabis.

I said cool, chilly chill, we'll spark it on the way back
I agreed to smoke with him on our way home.

So hey rolled up the hey now you're talkin'!
We rolled the cannabis and now we can smoke it.

Sparked the phillz nilz then we kept on walkin'
We smoked the cigar and continued walking.

This is a normal day right around my way
This is a typical day in my neighborhood.

So parlez parlez parlez 'cos it's a lazy day
Let's chat and relax because today is all about taking it easy.
