I couldn't find anything that motivated me with this challenge, so I dipped back into a dark period when Ed McBride and myself did a short Lived Rap Group FU52. Ed was MC Eye, and myself I was Professa Scotch. So since so many summer tunes seem to be hip hop I went Rap on ya. Yes I used some fly ass beats and fly ass samples!! Fresh!!
lyrics
Summer's here and the sky's seem clear
I don't see much thats wrong with the world today
85 outside and nothing to do but get out get out get and play
I got the windows down, I got my dancing feet
got my honey bee beside in the passenger seat
got the radio turned up a little bit too loud
think its time to put the top down
Whats the matter with you whats the matter with me
I can't think of a god damned thing thats wrong
all smiles today all styles today
everything is right with the world today
gonna get out of town for a little while
gonna forget my problems for a little while
gonna have some fun just for a little while
Its good times for a change
(CHORUS- Smiths Sample)
Good times for a change
Seems The Luck I've had
can make a good man turn bad
And ya know what I can't think about life
when the sun keeps shining on me
It's too perfect today
to think about my pains to think about my pains
So I put my sunglasses on and I look at the sun
reach in the cooler for another cold one
I keep my troubles at home I keep my worries at home
Now I'm living it up
Time to get out of town and feel alive
Time to hop in the car and take a drive
we can take us a trip unplanned
go out to the coast and put our feet in the sand
so why would you wanna think about your wrongs
when there's so much right lets get out of town tonight
it may seem sudden, it may seem strange but
It's good times for a change
(Chorus)
Ain't nothing gonna bring us down
Ain't no one gonna hurt my soul
Ain't nothing going wrong today
Just put your hands up and lose control
Ain't nothing gonna bring us down
Ain't no one gonna hurt my soul
Ain't nothing going wrong today
Just put your hands up and lose control
the sun's gone down but we still got the night
we've had a few drinks and feeling alright
Got plenty of cash got plenty of time
We'll sleep penty baby when we die
I'm Gonna check out the music scene
got myself a new set of guitar strings
Maybe get called to the stage to play
Its good times for a change
