[Verse 1]
I want to rap the night around U
Let my fantasy surround U, select U, protect U, connect U
To my metaphysical dream through a bright, bright satellite beam
That zooms off the moon to your room
Where you're washing your hair, or staring at TV, me and my beat
Invade U, persuade U thorugh the alleys and valleys of my mind
Where everypart of me, my brain, my eyes, my heart can see the
Distance between us has shrunk to shadow thin
In this imaginary poem we inhabit
Put your hand out and grab it
Grab the night and rap it all around us
I want to rap the night right around U

[Chorus]
I want, I want to, I want, I want to, I want, I want to
I want to rap the night right around U
(repeat)

[Verse 2]
I want to rap the Earth right around your head
Rap the thoughts within me that have yet to be said
Someone within me knows you, chose you, wants to compose you
Out of every theme you've ever sung
Since you were young
Songs you alone have known, homegrown
When I hear your music within
My words begin to take form, take shape and escape
Up your winding road and explode
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I want to rap my days about U
The sun and it's rays about U
I catch sight of U, the morning light of U
As I view the noon through your eyes, and watch it rise
You paint my existence the color of surprise
Put your hand in mine divine one, let's fly through my city
Bird by bird
I built this city word by word
That winding river that you see
That is the way you wind through me
Is it the heat of the day or the heat of the way you handle me?
I grow dizzy and fall into whirlpool of desire
My lips, my brain, my words all on fire
Here on this bench in the stench of the world you smile
And we are a magic isle
I've got nothing to say without U
I want to rap my days about U

I want, I want to, I want, I want to, I want, I want to
I want to rap the night right around you
