Fm G
As I'm strolling down the block with really nothing on my mind
Cm7 Cm6
Laid back and I'm just thinking of old times
Fm G
Pop in a Isley Brothers tape and I'm maxing
Cm7 Cm6
Peeping through my side view, checking out my waxing
Fm G
Hey, I gotta say
Cm7 Cm6
Today's a good day for me to live around the way (ho)

Time to hit the 6-4

And pump the bass at 'em just to let 'em know

I check my cellular because my beeper's beeping

Me (wassup); time to set it off

And so I pick up my girls and hit the strip just because

Well, 6 o' clock rolls around and now I'm stepping

Stop to get some dressing, to the mall I'm flexing

You know to get them funky croaka-sacks
Cm7 Cm6
Tonight I'm hitting the town, ain't holding nothing back
Fm G
Hey, well alright
Cm7 Cm6
Tonight is the night
Fm G
Well I'm in the mood for celebration

Or even some jazzy conversation
