right a piano tab on here for two reasons; Don't know how, and I haven't finished it... :P)

Rap I:
Up, up and away, baby, we don't play.
Maybe you thought you was done for the day.
He said, she said, I said this,
That you can't get away from the moment of bliss.

Stirring, we'll lure you in,
And we'll make room for the shade of skin.
Short ones, tall ones, skinny ones, bigger,
love is the gun and we pulling that trigger.

So you send me and I'll send you
Hope in the form of a new tattoo.
Mine is a shiny city on a hill
And yous, of course, is the colors that fill it.

(repeat the "fill it" part as many times as you see fit.)

Pre-chorus:
D         G#m7b5

So if you wanna praise, you can come on down,
      A   B          Esus
'cause this freak show's leavin' the ground.

Rap II:
Now come to the city where you can praise
If you're black, if you're white, if you're yellow or gray.
In the morning, in the night, any time of day.
What's that place? (Diverse City!)

With curls in your hair, with braids on the side,
Straight shake'em loose, just come on and ride.
We're a body with parts like you and me.
Together we make (Diversity!).
