[Intro: will.i.am & Kim Hill]
Yeah
Kimmy, Kim, Kimmy, Kim, Kimmy, Kim, Kimmy, Kim
Why don't ya take it to the place where we're fillin' the skylight?
Ahhhh-ah-ah-ahhhh
Where we'll be fillin' in the skylight
Uh-huh
Check it out

[Verse 1: will.i.am]
We be the connection to
Everything from calypso to
Hip-hop down to the bee-bop
Now come rock slip slide to mine
B-boy niggas are gonna push butt
Rock-n-roll brothas are bound to serve it up
Got the leak so put the Peas on turf
So get your waterproof Walkman and go surf
John Mcenroe get the kids all wacky
Jamal Anderson knew the Peas from back in
The day now he runnin' over niggas for the Falcons
Instead of lookin' over all y'all brothas from the balcony
But we constructin' the bridge
So y'all could come and visit
This goes out to every Pea that exists
How we doin' it?
Yo, it's like this

[Chorus: will.i.am]
We bridging the gaps
We brought a lil' somethin' to
Start bridging the gaps
We brought a lil' somethin' to
Start bridging the gaps
We brought a lil' somethin' to
Start bridging the gaps
And it goes like
Ahhhh-ah-ah-ahhhh

[Verse 2: apl.de.ap]
We direct, revolutionizing new concepts
Emerging binaries to prove success
Stereotypical, they won't get it
We breakin' the barriers, some sonic shit
LA to Kingston to London Bridge
New York to Germany to Brooklyn Bridge
Also my people in the Golden Gate Bridge
Innovators creatin' new rich
Got them skate kids sayin' (let's rock)
Got them brothas sayin' (yo let's get fly)
Got the whole south sayin' (ya feel me?)
Got them chulos sayin' (ya feel me?)
Every type of people be feelin' my section
'Cause we be expandin' to a wider selection
Now this goes out to everything that exists
Yo how we doin' it?
We do it like this
C'mon

[Chorus: will.i.am & Kim Hill]
We bridging the gaps
We brought a lil' somethin' to
Start bridging the gaps
We brought a lil' somethin' to
Start bridging the gaps
We brought a lil' somethin' to
Start bridging the gaps
And it goes like
Ahhhh-ah-ah-ahhhh

[Bridge: Kim Hill]
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do

[Verse 3: Taboo]
Legacy must live on
Legacy must live on
Legacy must live on
Make sure that the bridge is strong
Make sure that the gap is wide
Supply the future that we provide
Won't commit and just go inside
Give me room so I can dip and dive
Show you how we hypnotize
Angry Foot is gonna tell you why
We built this bridge for the people in the park
We built this bridge for the dummies in the dark
And we built this bridge for the children in the light
We built this bridge for the sisters with sight
And we built this bridge for my brothas that are blind
We built this bridge for the ones that use their mind
And we built this bridge for everybody
For everybody

[Chorus: will.i.am & Kim Hill]
We bridging the gaps
We brought a lil' somethin' to
Start bridging the gaps
We brought a lil' somethin' to
Start bridging the gaps
We brought a lil' somethin' to
Start bridging the gaps
And it goes like
Ahhhh-ah-ah-ahhhh
