Rimes Imperial:
Yo, the reason we get down son (Mariah)
Well it's the Mr. Spitman (Mariah)
Check it out as I get down (Mariah)
Well it's the Mr. Spitman for hire
Global attire with Mariah
Find us on the rooftop where boots get knocked
As the newts rocking' on dance floors for you and yours
And minutes go strip off they drawers like Demi Moore
It's on son, I'm slashing writings as a rap shotgun
The black Sub-Zero leaves your coats frozen
I'm mind-blowing, always keeping the rhyme flowing
For the peeps in the block
With MC up on the rooftop
Mariah:
It wasn't raining yet
But it was definitely
A little misty on that warm November night
And my heart was pounding (Pounding)
My inner voice resounding (Hello)
Begging me to turn away
But I just had to see your face to feel alive
And then you casually walked in the room
And I was twisted in the web of my desire for you (And I was twisted)
My apprehension blew away
I only wanted you
To taste my sadness as you kissed me in the dark
Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
And go back in time (I go back, I go back)
To relive the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
And so we finished the Moët and
I started feeling liberated
And I surrendered as you took me in your arms (You took me in your arms)
I was so caught up in the moment
I couldn't bear to let you go yet (So I…)
So I threw caution to the wind
And started listening to my longing heart
And then you softly pressed your lips to mine (And I…)
And feelings surfaced I'd suppressed for such a long time (And I was lifted)
And for a while I forgot the sorrow and the pain
And melted with you as we stood there in the rain
Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me (Envision you caressing me)
And go back in time (Back…)
To relive the splendor of you and I (You and I, you and I)
On the rooftop that rainy night
Every time I feel the need (Every time)
I envision you caressing me (Envision you)
And go back in time
To relive the splendor of you and I (You…)
On the rooftop that rainy night (And I)
Last night I dreamed that I
Whispered the words I love you (That I loved you boy)
And touched you so very
Subtly as we were kissing goodbye (Kiss, kiss)
Rickardo the Dreadlocked lyricist:
Steppin' on the scene, the Dreadlocked lyricist
Rickardo, we provide dough, you know
Our flow in the breeze
You got those, I got these
All we need is the key to the skylight
Meet me on the rooftop after twilight
We can heat up the night
Full Crew, we keep the remix tight
It's time for the Imperial one to take the mic
Rimes Imperial:
The invincible cinnabals got you sending for the medical
Rhymes Imperial, packin' freestyles in my genitals
Set loose, just like a werewolf in London
Torture my contenders in the dungeon
Now on the ones and twos, I bring it to you live
Mariah seems I can't get you out of my mind
Sometimes I fantasize we be two butterflies
Making love beneath skies all night
Mariah:
(Every time)
Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me (Envision you caressing me)
And go back in time
To relive the splendor of you and I (I go back)
On the rooftop that rainy night (On the roof that rainy night)
Every time I feel the need (When I feel the need)
I envision you caressing me (I envision you over and over and over again)
And go back in time
To relive the splendor of you and I (It was oh so sweet, you and I)
On the rooftop that rainy night (On that rainy night)
Every time I feel the need (Last night I had the strangest dream…)
I envision you caressing me (It was actually quite symbolic)
And go back in time (And I whispered… That I loved you)
To relive the splendor of you and I (…very subtly)
On the rooftop that rainy night
Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
And go back in time
To relive the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
