Will Smith’s Summertime [TJ-Style]

About the Author

Ben spends most of his time working with underprivileged kids in Tijuana, Mexico, encouraging them to continue their education. He's an unofficial member of Iglesia Bautista Monte Horeb, which runs the elementary school, Centro Pedagógico Didaque.

Here it is the groove slightly transformed

Riding around in your Jeep or your Benzos 15-passenger
Or in your Nissan sitting on Lorenzos, oh man, does my back hurt


Honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes jerk who just cut you off

The temperatures about 88

You just finished wiping your car down [b/c of all the dust]
Its time to cruise so you head to the summertime hangout [tacos]
It looks like a car show demolition derby


Two miles an hour so everybody sees you b/c of all the potholes

And this is the Fresh Prince’s Ben’s new definition of summer madness [in TJ]

It’s around the corner and in many ways I cringe. Here are some tips for your summertime mission trip across the border.

Do

  1. Read your Bible before you come
  2. Pray about why you’re going
  3. Talk to one of your churches supported missionaries

Don’t

  1. Give out dollar bills
  2. Promise to come back
  3. Try and save the world

In the words of Will Smith:
Think of the summers of the past
Adjust the base focus and let the alpine blast God direct your path.
