Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm the W-I double-L I am
Linkin' up with the Primo do it (Do it)
He's the T-to-the-A-to-the-B oh oh
Linkin' up with the Primo do it (Do it)
He's the A-P-L-to-the-D-E-Ap
Linkin' up with the Primo do it (Do it)
And we the B-to-the-E-to-the-P
Hookin' up with Primo do it (Do it)
[Verse 2]
We comin' through to take control of each zip code
Bridgin' the gap from rap to calypso
We gonna strike each city from 'Frisco
Tokyo to back to San Luis Obispo
As they invaded, descendants of Amadeus
Transmitted through your CDs
Tapes and record players
We, the crusaders, attack like alligators
Yo we're known to elevate like escalators
Yo we comin' through to control your area
Black Eyed Peas control your area
Bringin' the vibe that create hysteria
Whack MCs vacate your area
We three deep comin' out of yo' speaker
I'm bustin' your woofer an tearin' through your tweeter
Every rapper's talkin' 'bout killin' somebody
But they ain't hip-hop to me (Check it out)
[Verse 3]
This is the hip hip hip the hop hop hop
We keep it keep it movin' non non stop
(Black Eyed Peas) yo we keep it movin'
Yo we keep it movin'
The hip hip hip the hop hop hop
We keep it keep it movin' non non stop
(Black Eyed Peas) yo we keep it movin'
We got to keep it movin'
[Verse 4]
It's the Black Eyed Peas sure climbin' up the Empire
State tower livin' is the mission desired
I see a lot of liars so to them I cross and fire
And they lyrics soundin' tired, repetitious, and expired
Cool them down troop before they time get picked
I can't take them serious talkin' about bullshit
Got money and cars but can't bullshit
And your lyrics are soundin' like some doo doo shit
While I'm holdin' the mic tight recite livin' insight
So we can all benefit from the artform
Took you to make dough but forgot the main goal
Almost lost the soul and got norm
'Cause everybody's talkin' 'bout high profilin'
But it ain't hip-hop to me (Why why why)
'Cause everybody's talkin' 'bout high profilin'
But it ain't hip-hop to me (So check it out y'all)
[Verse 5]
This is the hip hip hip the hop hop hop
We keep it keep it movin' non non stop
(Black Eyed Peas) we keep it movin'
Yo we keep it movin'
The hip hip hip the hop hop hop
We keep it keep it movin' non non stop
(Black Eyed Peas) yo, we keep it movin'
We got to keep it movin'
[Verse 6]
I like the way the rhythm makes me jump
Got black to asian and caucasian sayin'
That's the joint that's the jam
Let your body collide to the rhythm provided
By the Black Eyed Peas
Through a nation we build off the musical field
Or a visual thrill we do what we feel
[Verse 7]
Yeah, your style's dated and you ain't came out yet
Don't think you're fresh 'cause you're rockin' them outfits
I think you're lost 'cause you don't know where your route is
Pick up the mic put your money where your mouth is
I pick up the mic and put my lyrics where my mouth is
Hit your spirit make you jump out them couches
Quick agility to slow-like slouches
With more bounce to the freak of def ounces
And we announce this follow us to show you what the sound is
Primo and the Peas collaboratin' like great
Aiyyo let's do this let's do this, we show you who the crew is
Black Eyed Peas is like the rulers leavin' all you brothers clueless
Haters hate us if you wanna we gon' speak on it
We gon' tell the world why hip-hop is haunted
Funny is a drug and MCs is on it
We gon' take it back to the days of soulsonic
[Verse 8]
This is the hip hip hip the hop hop hop
We keep it keep it movin' non non stop
(Black Eyed Peas) yo we keep it movin'
We got to keep it movin'
The hip hip hip the hop hop hop
We keep it keep it movin' non non stop
(Black Eyed Peas) yo we keep it movin'
We got to keep it movin'
The hip hip hip the hop hop hop
We keep it keep it movin' non non stop
(Black Eyed Peas) yo we keep it movin'
We got to keep it movin'
The hip hip hip the hop hop hop
We keep it keep it movin' non non stop
(Black Eyed Peas) yo we keep it movin'
We got to keep it movin'
