[Intro: Wyclef Jean]
Wyclef on guitar with the Black Eyed Peas
Here go the rap song, they wanna sing it to y'all

[Chorus]
She like a rap song (she like a rap song)
She like a rap song (she like a rap song)
She like a rap song (she like a rap song)
She like a rap song (she like a rap song)

[Verse 1]
You're like a hip-hop song y'know
I wanna be your "Buddy" like De La Soul
Let me "Rock them Bells" like I'm LL
I like you in a Kangol and Gazelles
Here's a ticket come and see me on my "Planet Rock"
Like the Daddy Kane, I can be your "Smooth Op'"
But wait-uh every month you're the flavor
I wanna get a scoop, lat-uh!

[Chorus]
She like a rap song (she like a rap song)
She like a rap song
She make me clap (how's that) 'cause she a rap song
She like a rap song
She like a rap song (she like a rap song)
She like a rap song
She make me clap (how's that) 'cause she a rap song
She like a rap song

[Verse 2]
She was the, "Public Enemy #1"
She was my, "Mona Lisa" when we first begun
She got me, "Jump-in' Around" like Everlast
Singin a, "Rap Life" with help from Tash
She be my, metronome rhythm to my feet
And when we, when we do it do it to the beat
She like, "My Melody" done by Eric B., and Rakim
'Cause she be rockin' me steadily, yo

[Chorus]
Yo, she got hips to hops
And she ain't goin pop
She like a record that I wanna rock
When I'm rollin in my ride cruisin down my block
Yo, and if she was a rap song
She'd be "Bonita Applebum"
And I wanna put you on
I'm puttin you on, you're my favorite song
She like a rap song (she like a rap song)
She like a rap song
She make me clap (how's that) 'cause she a rap song
She like a rap song
She like a rap song (she like a rap song)
She like a rap song
She make me clap (how's that) 'cause she a rap song
She like a rap song

[Verse 3]
She makes me say 'ho' but she ain't a "HOE!!"
She "Got it Made" with Special Ed (??) "HOE!!"
Her bass is everlasting like Rodney O's
She "Myself and I" comin from the Soul
She like a beat that makes me wanna grab the mic
She like the lyrics that I wanna recite
She like the old school mic with the cable
You can bring your records and I'll bring the turntable yo

[Chorus]
Yo, she got hips to hops
And she ain't goin pop
She like a record that I wanna rock
When I'm rollin in my ride cruisin down my block
Yo, and if she was a rap song
She'd be "Bonita Applebum"
And I wanna put you on
I'm puttin you on, you're my favorite song
She like a rap song (she like a rap song)
She like a rap song
She make me clap (how's that) 'cause she a rap song
She like a rap song
She like a rap song (she like a rap song)
She like a rap song
She make me clap (how's that) 'cause she a rap song
She like a rap song

[Outro: Wyclef Jean]
Wyclef, Jerry Wonder
With the Black Eyed Peas
Don't hurt nobody man
Takin' over the universe, I told y'all
Take' me in, don't hurt nobody
