[Verse 1: Will Smith]
Oh, imagine a land, it's a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where you wander among every culture and tongue
It's chaotic, but hey, it's home

[Pre-Chorus: Will Smith]
When the wind's from the east
And the sun's from the west
And the sand in the glass is right
Come on down, stop on by
Hop a carpet and fly
To another Arabian night

[Instrumental Chorus]

[Verse 2: Will Smith]
As you wind through the streets at the fabled bazaars
With the cardamom-cluttered stalls
You can smell every spice
While you haggle the price
Of the silks and the satin shawls

[Pre-Chorus: Will Smith]
Oh, the music that plays
As you move through a maze
In the haze of your pure delight
You are caught in a dance
You are lost in the trance
Of another Arabian night

[Chorus: Will Smith]
Arabian nights
Like Arabian days
More often than not are hotter than hot
In a lot of good ways
Arabian nights
Like Arabian dreams
This mystical land of magic and sand
Is more than it seems

[Bridge: Will Smith & Frank Welker]
There's a road that may lead you
To good or to greed through
The power your wishing commands
Let the darkness unfold or find fortunes untold
Well, your destiny lies in your hands
Only one may enter here
One whose worth lies far within
A diamond in the rough

[Chorus: Will Smith]
Arabian nights
Like Arabian days
They seem to excite, take off and take flight
To shock and amaze
Arabian nights
'Neath Arabian moons
A fool off his guard could fall and fall hard
Out there on the dunes

Will Smith

Will Smith is a famed actor who has so many iconic movie roles in Hollywood blockbusters under his belt you sometimes forget he’s an accomplished rapper, too.

Smith started as the MC of the hip-hop duo “DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince,” with his childhood friend Jeffrey “DJ Jazzy Jeff” Townes as turntablist and producer. They gained critical acclaim and won the first Grammy awarded in the Rap category (1988).

As a result of spending money carelessly, Smith was nearly bankrupt in 1990, when the NBC television network signed him to a contract and built a sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, around him.
