Summer of ’93

Let’s go!
Yes, you are now listening to the sounds of the great Sy Smith
With the incredible, incomparable Zo! and Tall Black Guy on the boards, you dig me?
This feel good, right?
Oh, my bad, I forgot to introduce myself – come on
(’93) Put your hands in the sky if you rocked with Tray Lee in
(’93) When I was stompin’ the yard at Howard University in
(’93) I mean, we was a vibe, we was all outside in
(’93) That’s right, making power moves with my homegirl, Sy

Well, is it the moonlight hittin’ just right
Yeah, I like it, babe
Let’s stay in the moonlight
And dance ‘til our bodies take over, yeah
Touch me, babe, hold me, babe
Tell me if you remember the way it was, the way it was
Touch me, babe, hold me, babe
Tell me if you remember the way it was, summer of ‘93

That’s when the lovin’ was so O.G. (’93)
The days were hot and we were wild and free
You loved me and I loved you back, you were my baby
Memory—I’ll never forget the way that you touched me in (’93)
That’s when the lovin’ was so O.G. (’93)
The days were hot and we were wild and free
You loved me and I loved you back, you were my baby (’93)
Can we just take it back to ’93?

Might be the champagne tellin’ me things that I like to hear
Could you be the same man who was lovin’ so hard that year
Touch me, babe, hold me, babe
Tell me if you remember the way it was, the way it was
Touch me, babe, hold me, babe
Tell me if you remember the way it was, summer of ‘93

That’s when the lovin’ was so O.G. (’93)
The days were hot and we were wild and free
You loved me and I loved you back, you were my baby
Memory—I’ll never forget the way that you touched me in (’93)
That’s when the lovin’ was so O.G. (’93)
The days were hot and we were wild and free
You loved me and I loved you back, you were my baby (’93)
I think I wanna take you back to ‘93

Cool Water, Joop cologne
Hit me on my pager and I’ll find a find a phone
Call you back as soon as I could
Then make my way down to your hood
For a little afternoon delight
Cuttin’ kinda close ‘cause my schedule’s tight
Couldn’t wait to feel your body naked with mine
It was hard to get back to work on time
We were young, gifted, Black and bold
Greatest love story that was never told
Sometimes we took it way too far
Like when you picked me up in your girlfriend’s car
But I digress as I reminisce
There’s nothing sweeter than your uptown kisses
Was it love? Yes. Reckless? Maybe
I’m tryin’ to figure out how we never had a baby in ‘93
