Lyrics
[Intro]
Wow, we're in stereo
[Verse 1]
Question for the ages
What's going on with my rap pages?
Rappers wanna be down, but listen, listen
You got to feel it within your body and your spirit
When you listen to the rhythm, come on
It's the Abstract, Will is on the beat
Women all around the globe, the world, you gotta follow me
Change your history, categories
Different people in the same territories
Hip-hop in the form of Black Eyed Peas
So watch it, watch it, be mindful of the speakers, please
'Cause they gon' rumble and shake the ground
Break atoms, break a sound
Thunder and bass, feel pounds
Streets make the thing profound
If you want a dude to help you out
Make it cool around your friends without smoking now
Play the song kinda loud, it could help you out
And you could work it out, and you could work it out
It's like that and a
[Chorus]
And we got it like that (Like that)
You know we got it like that (Like that)
Yeah, we got it like that (Like that)
It's like that, like that (Like that)
Yeah, we got it like that (Like that)
You know we got it like that (Like that)
Yeah, we got it like that (Like that)
It's like that
Because I got it like that
[Verse 2]
And I got it like that also
Got a style that's way out like Barstow
You know I'm known to cook a **** like charcoal
Steady droppin' rhymes like it's heavy cargo
Can I kick it?
Yup, really far though
From El Segundo to Toronto
I once hit a girl up in Chicago
But I'd never say who unless my name was Tonto
Yup, you know how the date rape go
Kobe showed the classic example
Now they know the Peas collect the dough
So they knocking on the door like we Wells Fargo
Yup, they see me in a Will.I.Am suit
But I wasn't that cute when I didn't have the loot
And I don't smoke herbs but I'm still real nice with the verbs
So **** what you heard
Aw yeah
[Chorus]
'Cause we got it like that (Like that)
You know we got it like that (Like that)
Yeah, we got it like that (Like that)
It's like that, like that (Like that)
Yeah, we got it like that (Like that)
You know we got it like that (Like that)
Yeah, we got it like that (Like that)
Talib, just hit 'em like that
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I'm from the jungle, brother, and I got it like that
Yo, my life got me running through a maze like a white rat
I need a shot of Remy like Mike Rap
It's like the yak is the fights that got me spillin' on the right track
And I like this, Will, so I might get ill
On the mic, somebody might get killed
So many damn rappers, there's a cypher in heaven
My tongue is a weapon and, plus, when I bust, it's the stuff of legend
When this Brooklyn MC come after you
You'll be running like a herd of caribou down Myrtle Avenue (Yeah)
Where we at, ain't nothin' pretty, that's the attitude
To be in Fight Club, even Brad had to crack a tooth
Stare into the sun, then try to copy
Let your eyes get used to the light because you gotta watch me
Sneak up on you like sake
My lyrics get at 'em and split atoms like Hiroshima and Nagasaki
[Verse 4]
It's the apl.de.ap in the lab with the rap
Demonstrate how we act, we attack any track
It's the Black Eyed Peas and we back with the facts
Start with the fast skills that rose in the past
We got it like that, you know how the beast rocks
Entertain you, see you soon at the next spot
The crew got you bouncing and dropping your high
Making nah hot shish, I be shocking them out
Tss-tss-tss-tss, I'ma roll with the hot
I'ma flow from the soul and you can't hold me back
Ke-ke-keep on, keep on rolling the track
I'ma simp this, simply always attach
Jeepney music by apl.de.ap
From L.A. to Philippines, we're bridging the gap
We got it like that, you know we got it like that
We got it like, like we got it like that, y'all
[Chorus]
So sweet
It's like that
Yeah, we got it like that
It's like that
You didn't know that we had it like that
It's like that
It's like that, like that
It's like that
Yeah, we got it like that
It's like that
Yeah, we got it like that
It's like that
You know we got it like that
It's like that
It's like that 'cause we got it like that
[Bridge]
