To lay around and not do anything like a lamp. To chill. To relax.
I was just lampin' around yesterday not doing anything.

lava-lamping 

When you eat something unsettling with poo already in your rectum, the gas from the unsettling food then floats around your turds (like a lava lamp) creating intermittent pressure that you are afraid to release for fear of a shart!
I skipped my morning poo and after a spicy lunch I was lava-lamping at my desk.

Straight Lampin' 

The act of hanging out or keeping it real in a sitution that provides no other equal or better oppurtunity

Joe: I don't know, there's really not much going on. I'll probably just be straight lampin' all night.
Jane: Sick

cold lampin' 

Tapping into the electrical wires of a street light to power DJ and MC equipment, and sound system, for the use of underground hip-hop performances and battles.

This term was popularized by the Flavor Flav / Public Enemy song of the same name, but since the term is not defined in the song, many assume the phrase to have other meanings.
"Aiyyo, power from the street light made the place dark!
I know a few understand what I’m talkin’ about"
- Mos Def (refering to the practice of cold lampin')

Lamping on this new couch is great!
