The Rush Lyrics

[Intro: Nia Long]
Feel your ocean come to my moon
Let our rain become a monsoon
I want the rush (Uh, uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-ush)
Ooh, I want the rush (Uh, uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-ush)
Feel your ocean come to my moon
Let our rain become a monsoon
I want the rush (Uh, uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-ush)
Ooh, I want the rush (Uh, uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-ush)

[Verse 1: Janelle Monáe]
I look into your eyes and I get that rush
Maybe 'cause tonight you're gonna be my crush
I look around and I get that rush
Maybe 'cause tonight you're gonna be my, ah
Skin to skin, I wanna take my time
Break it in, I wanna make you mine
I look around and I get that rush
Baby, 'cause tonight I'm tryna catch that

[Pre-Chorus: Janelle Monáe]
Feelin'
Mmm, you're just my type
I really wanna feel it
I want your leg against my thigh
[Chorus: Janelle Monáe]
I want the rush, want the rush, want the rush
Mmm, I want the rush, want the rush, want the rush
Yeah, I want the ru—, uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-ush
Mmm, I want the ru—, uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-ush

[Post-Chorus: Janelle Monáe & Nia Long]
Pretty girl, my, my girl
Pretty girl, my, my girl (I want the rush)
I want the ru—, uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-ush
Mmm, I want the ru—, uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-ush

[Refrain: Nia Long & Amaarae]
Feel your ocean come to my moon
Let our rain become a monsoon
(That's right)

[Verse 2: Amaarae]
Righteous vibes, baby, check my steeze (Ooh)
For tonight, make me run this peace (Yeah)
I and I came tonight so free (Ooh, huh)
Hata billion with a billion me
When it come to lovin', I'm the best in peace
Pussy gonna lay go down, make you rest in peace, ayy-ayy-ayy
Fuckin' you like it's my destiny
God, what's come over me?
When I get that
[Pre-Chorus: Janelle Monáe & Amaarae]
Feelin'
Mmm, you're just my type

Mmm, I want the ru—, uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-ush
