B.E.P. EmpireBlack Eyed Peas

[Intro: will.i.am and DJ Premier]
Three, four..
Chk-u-chk-u-chk-chk-chk
Chk-duh
Chk-uh
I'm the W-I, double-L-I-Am
Linkin' up with the Preemo, do it (do it)
He's the T-to-the-A-to-the-B-oh-oh
Linkin' up with the Preemo, do it (do it)
He's the A-P-L-to-the-D-E-Ap
Linkin' up with the Preemo, do it..
And we the B-to-the-E-to-the-P
Hookin' up with Preemo don't do it (do it)

[Verse 1: will.i.am]
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 then back to San Luis Obispo
(??) data, descendants of Amadeus
Transmitted through your CD's, 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
Wack MC's vacate your area
We 3D, comin' out of yo' speaker
I bust through your woofer and tear through your tweeter
Every rapper's talkin' 'bout killin' somebody
But they ain't hip-hop to be (check it out)

[Chorus: will.i.am]
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 2: apl.de.ap and will.i.am]
It's the Black Eyed Peas (?) climbin' up the Empire (yeah)
State Tower livin' is the mission desired (yeah)
I see a lot of liars holding them mics cross and fire (yeah)
And they lyrics soundin' tired, repetitious and expired (*yawn*)
Cool 'em down troop before they time get picked (yeah)
I can't take 'em serious talkin' about boom-shit
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 art-form
Many took, (??) on 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)

[Chorus: will.i.am]
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'

[Bridge: will.i.am, apl.de.ap and Taboo (samples from "Joints and Jams")]
"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 music field
Or a visual thrill, we do what we feel"

[Verse 3: apl.de.ap, will.i.am and Taboo]
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 pouches
Quick agility to slow-like slouches
With more bounce to the freak of (deaf fouses?)
And we announce this, follow us and show you what the sound is
Preemo and the Peas collaboratin' like great
Ayo 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
Money is a drug and MC's is on it
We gon' take it back to the days of Soulsonic

[Chorus (x2): will.i.am]
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'
