[Hook - Maxine Ashley]
In the Summertime
I can feel it and I barely breathe
In the Summertime
Nothing matters we just keep on rolling, rolling
It's the Summertime
Picnic with you and me
It's the Summertime
This is how Summertime should be

[Verse 1 - Chuck]
Two goin' at once
Fresh out the shower in her towel rolling up
I'm in the kitchen cooking lunch, finna stunt
Chopping onions stirring sauces whipping up
Bar-B-Q'ing barracudas at resorts in Bermuda
She trying on that new bathing suit that she bought
At the mall in the mirror like, (for your eyes only)
Ay flash me real quick baby don't front on me
Do a little dance while I iron my shorts
I'm getting ready and we ready to work, work, work it, work
Now iron my shirt she want to hit the waves so we hop in that boat

[Hook]

[Verse 2 - Mikey]
Lets get wild, reconcile with your freaky side
You say its been a while and your thinking bout bringing it out
I peeped your style bottom of them cheeks peaking out of that bikini bottom
Seen em and then I got 'em
You with your best friend but you call her your wifey
And y'all both gorgeous rocking the saks 5th short set
And y'all do everything together B-F-F
We just met now its us three, it must be fate
And I got a lot on my plate
But I can make some time for you if you wanna escape
Its OK by the poolside is where we should lay
You gotta lose your inhibition and get carried away

[Hook]

Brought together by MySpace in 2005, the rap duo known as The Cool Kids provided an alternative sound to the autotune-heavy, mainstream rap that dominated the late ‘00s. Chicago rapper Antoine “Sir Michael Rocks” Reed and Detroit producer-rapper Evan “Chuck Inglish” Ingersoll delivered laid back flows over simple but creative production to create a distinctive sound that brought their old school influences into modern times.

The duo’s first project, Totally Flossed Out was released on their MySpace page in 2007. The mixtape was good enough to grab the attention of Diplo and A-Trak, but they ended up signing to Chocolate Industries and releasing their first album The Bake Sale, on June 10th, 2008. Despite having problems with their label, the duo continued to tour and release music for the next 3 years, dropping two fan-favorite mixtapes; Gone Fishing in 2009 and Tacklebox in 2010. Citing problems with their label, The Cool Kids sophomore album, When Fish Ride Bicycles was finally finished and released in 2011. Following it’s release, Sir Michael signed to Curren$y’s Jet Life Recordings, and the duo was essentially broken up.

On July 13th, 2016, Chuck Inglish announced the Cool Kids would be reuniting via his Twitter
