[Intro]
Get on up and (get down)
People in the place just (...a blunt)
Get down, rock with (the Peas)
The BEP crew and (...a bud)

[Verse 1: will.i.am]
People get prepared 'cause we droppin' it
Motivatin' everybody when we rocking it
But for envious, vacate the premises
'Cause they actin all jealous and sensitive
'Cause the gift and the talent we displayin' is
Certified to be the ish when it's weighing in
Plus its too damn heavy for you to carry and ya
(Gone got shocked)
Shocked by my cu-reatin'

[Bridge 1]
People in the place that dig it and relate
(They like it)
When we visit in this place
(They love it)
When we switchin' up the pace
('Cause they need it
'Cause they turn them on and
They want it)

[Verse 2: will.i.am]
So I'ma hit 'em with the fit
'Cause we deliverin' the ol' cosmic shit
Combined with elements from 1986
And blendin' 'em wit' intergalactic tricks
Look chick the result be the Peas
Ain't really no other entity to bring the breeze
Winds that pull you in like tornadoes and we grab a mic to let you know

[Hook]
'Cause I..
Give a lil' lil' you
Take a lil' lil' let's
Live a lil' lil' and
Make a lil' lil' mo' love
'Cause we can
I..
Give a lil' lil' you
Take a lil' lil' let's
Live a lil' lil' and
Shake a lil' lil' mo' ass
'Cause we can
Check it out

[Verse 3: apl.de.ap]
It's necessary for me to be accurate
Exact in any angle plus immaculate
Lettin' everybody know that we droppin' it
When we step up to the place ain't no stoppin' it
'Cause I'ma hit you lovely with my HIP
Make you dance to my Hop fanatically
Pornographically we bring it to you musically
Get you naked mentally uncontrollably
Master to hit you right down till you shiver
Give you butterflies in you stomach and uplift ya
The legendary sound that we do
The trendsetter sendin' this out to you

[Chorus]
'Cause I..
Give a lil' lil' you
Take a lil' lil' let's
Live a lil' lil' and
Make a lil' lil' mo' love
'Cause we can
I..
Give a lil' lil' you
Take a lil' lil' let's
Live a lil' lil' and
Shake a lil' lil' mo' ass
'Cause we can
I..
Give a lil' lil' you
Take a lil' lil' let's
Live a lil' lil' and
Make a lil' lil' mo' cash
'Cause we can
Check it out

[Bridge 2]
Hey we be rockin' it
Get down while we shockin' it
BEP the rhyme aristocrats
Get hit and catch your heart attack
'Cause we be tickling your spit, we with the sound
Ripple through your body with the sound
Black Eyed Peas are known to electrify
We intensify, get you satisfied

[Hook]
'Cause I
Give a lil' lil' you
Take a lil' lil' let's
Live a lil' lil' and
Make a lil' lil' mo' love
'Cause we can
I..
Give a lil' lil' you
Take a lil' lil' let's
Live a lil' lil' and
Shake a lil' lil' mo' ass
'Cause we can

Give a lil' lil' you
Take a lil' lil' let's
Live a lil' lil' and
Make a lil' lil' mo' cash
'Cause we can

Give a lil' lil' you
Take a lil' lil' let's
Live a lil' lil' and
Shake a lil' lil' mo' ass
'Cause a lotta [da?]

[Bridge 1 (x2)]
People in the place that dig it and relate
(They like it)
When we vision in they place
(They love it)
When we switchin' up the pace
('Cause they need it
'Cause they turn 'em on and
They want it)
People in the place
(They like it)
When we visit in this space
(They love it)
The Peas are switchin' up the pace
('Cause they need it
'Cause they turn 'em on and
They want it)
