Lyrics
Well it's the lazy days, what? The lazy days
Introduction to the theme of lazy days
I'm sittin' back in my lounge chair stone cold maxin'
Relaxing in a lounge chair, fully relaxed
Thinkin' 'bout the next mc I'm gonna wax
Contemplating the next MC to challenge
In concert, goin' beserk, but not today
Being energetic in concerts but not today
Today I'm cold chillin' right around my way
Taking it easy in the neighborhood
A dip-dipperty-doo-dah-a dipperty-day
Expressing a carefree attitude
Say partner would you run to the store and buy me a philly
Asking someone to buy a Philly cigar
Roll up the ism and get illy
Rolling up marijuana and getting high
Coolin' while I rule 'cause I went to school
Cooling off while asserting authority due to education
I'm lampin' with my girl travel 'round the world
Relaxing and traveling with a significant other
I'm puffin' on the hay the nubian way
Smoking in a laid-back, Nubian style
So parlez, parlez, parlez 'cause it's a lazy day
Encouraging conversation because it's a lazy day
Hey yeah, hey yeah-oh
Repetition of the chorus emphasizing the lazy day
It's a lazy day
-Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey-oh
-Well it's a lazy day
-Hey yeah, hey yeah-oh
-It's a lazy day
-Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey-oh
-It's just a lazy day
-Well in 1991, I was out to have fun
Recalling the years and asserting self-focus
But in 1992, I hit the rocks for a few
Experiencing challenges in 1992
But now it's 1993, and kid it's all about me
Declaring the present, with a focus on self
And now I'm lampin' in the shade cause I'm P-A-I-D
Laid-back because of financial success
On my way home one day I ran into this girl, she said
Meeting a girl interested in a joyride
"Hi-C would you take me for a whirl in your Beamer?"
Rejecting her due to suspicion
I said nope 'cause she's a schemer
Avoiding deceptive individuals
I stay away from hookers tryin' to take me to the cleaners
Steering clear of dishonest intentions
Rancho, Sanchero, I'm makin' mad dinero
Highlighting financial success and avoidance of trouble
Ya don't like my style, huh, so check it
Defending personal style against criticism
When I rock the mic kid ya better obey
Commanding respect when performing
And take heed to what I say 'cause it's a lazy day
Emphasizing authority, it's still a lazy day
Hey yeah, hey yeah-oh
Repetition of the chorus reinforcing the lazy day
It's a lazy day
-Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey-oh
-Well it's a lazy day
-Hey yeah, hey yeah-oh
-It's a lazy day
-Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey-oh
-It's just a lazy day
-Well I made it back to my crib in one piece
Returning home unharmed after an adventure
It never ceases to amaze when my vocals released
Noting the impact of vocal expression
Mom Dukes knocked on my door, she said "Go to the store
Mother's request for groceries and a haircut
I need some greens and cornbread, and boy cut off those dreads"
Mother's disapproval of dreadlocks
So I went to the store then hopped to the barber shop
Complying with the request, heading to the barber
I told my man Ed to hook up the low flat top
Getting a low flat top haircut
This kid Boo was there, he said he had a sack
Encountering a friend with marijuana
I said cool, chilly chill, we'll spark it on the way back
Agreeing to smoke it on the way back
So hey rolled up the hey now you're talkin'
Rolling and talking about it
Sparked the phillz nilz then we kept on walkin'
Continuing the walk while smoking
This is a normal day right around my way
Describing a typical day around the neighborhood
So parlez, parlez, parlez 'cause it's a lazy day
Encouraging conversation because it's a lazy day
Hey yeah, hey yeah-oh
Repetition of the chorus, reinforcing the lazy day
It's a lazy day
-Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey-oh
-Well it's a lazy day
-Hey yeah, hey yeah-oh
-It's a lazy day
-Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey-oh
-It's just a lazy day
-Hey yeah, hey yeah-oh
Repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the lazy day
It's a lazy day
-Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey-oh
-Well it's a lazy day
-Hey yeah, hey yeah-oh
-It's a lazy day
-Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey-oh
-It's just a lazy day
-Hey yeah, hey yeah-oh
Concluding repetitions of the chorus
Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey-oh
-Hey yeah, hey yeah-oh
