Lyrics
Hey girl, I bet you
Addressing a girl, expressing confidence in a statement.
There's someone out to get you
Suspecting that someone is pursuing the girl.
You'll find him anywhere
Assuring the girl that the pursuer can be found anywhere.
On a bus, in a bar, in a grocery store
List of various places where the pursuer may approach.
He'll say "Excuse me, haven't I seen you somewhere before?"
Describing a common approach line used by the pursuer.
Rap, rap, rap, they call him the rapper
Introduction of the character "the rapper" with a rhythmic expression.
Rap, rap, rap, you know what he's after
Repetition, emphasizing the pursuer's intentions.
So, he starts his rappin'
The rapper begins his pursuit through conversation.
Hoping something will happen
Expressing hope that the conversation leads to a positive outcome.
He'll say he needs you
Stating the rapper's need for companionship.
A companion, a girl he can talk to
Describing the type of relationship the rapper desires.
He's made up his mind
The rapper has decided he needs someone in his life.
He needs someone to sock it to
Expressing a desire for a deeper connection.
Rap, rap, rap, they call him the rapper
Reiteration of the rapper's identity with rhythmic emphasis.
Rap, rap, rap, you know what he's after
Repetition, reinforcing the pursuer's goals.
He's made an impression
Highlighting the impact the rapper has made.
So he makes a suggestion
The rapper suggests a further interaction.
"Come up to my place
Quoting the rapper's invitation for a private meeting.
For some coffee or tea or me"
List of options for the proposed meeting.
He's got you where he wants you
The rapper has successfully engaged the girl.
Girl, you've gotta face reality
Encouraging the girl to face the reality of the situation.
Rap, rap, rap, they call him the rapper
Reaffirmation of the rapper's identity with rhythmic emphasis.
Rap, rap, rap, you know what he's after
