[Intro: will.i.am]
I'ma be, I'ma be, I'ma-I'ma-I'ma be
I'ma be, I'ma be, I'ma-I'ma-I'ma be
I'ma be, I'ma be, I'ma-I'ma-I'ma be
I'ma be-be-be-be, I'ma-I'ma be
I'ma be-be-be-be, I'ma-I'ma be
I'ma be-be-be-be, I'ma-I'ma be

[Verse 1: Fergie]
I'ma be on the next level
I'ma be rockin' over that bass treble
I'ma be chillin' with my motherfuckin' crew
I'ma be makin' all them deals you wanna do (Ha)
I'ma be up in them A-list flicks
Doin' one-handed flips
Then I'ma be sippin' on trip 'cause
I'ma be shakin' my hips
You gon' be lickin' your lips
I'ma be takin' them pics
Lookin' all fly and shit
I'ma be the flyest chick (So fly)
I'ma be spreadin' my wings
I'ma be doin' my thing (Do it, do it, okay)
I'ma-I'ma swing it this way
I'ma-I'ma (I'ma-I'ma) swing it that-a-way
This is Fergie Ferg, and I'ma-I'ma be here to stay
The 21st century 'til infinity

[Chorus: will.i.am]
I'ma be, I'ma be, I'ma-I'ma-I'ma be
I'ma be, I'ma be, I'ma-I'ma-I'ma be
(Rich, baby, quick-quick)
I'ma-I'ma-I'ma be
(The shit, baby, check me out)
Be, I'ma-I'ma be
(On top, never stop)
Be-be, I'ma-I'ma be
I'ma be-be-be-be, I'ma-I'ma be
I'ma be (Fucking her)
I'ma-I'ma-I'ma be, I'ma be-be-be, I'ma-I'ma be

[Verse 2: will.i.am]
Yeah, I'ma be the upgraded new negro
I'ma be the average brother with soul
I'ma be worldwide, international
I'ma be in Rio, rocking Tokyo
I'ma be brilliant with my millions
Loan out a billion and get back a trillion
I'ma be a brother, but my name ain't Lehman
I'ma be ya bank, I'll be loaning out semen
Honeys in debt, baby bouncing them checks
But I don't really mind when they bouncing them cheeks
I'ma be, I'ma be, I'ma-ba, I'm-I'ma be rich, baby
I'ma be, I'ma be, I'm-I'ma be
Sick with the flow when the goal is to rock the whole globe
I'ma be the future, I'ma be the whole
Reason why you even wanna come to a show
You can see me while I'm rockin' and I'm kickin' down a door, then

[Bridge: will.i.am]
I'ma be up in the club
Doin' whatever I like
I'ma be popping that bubbly
Coolin' and livin' that good life
Oh, let's make this last forever
Partying, we'll chill together
On and on and on and on and
On and on and on and on and

[Verse 3: will.i.am]
I'ma be rocking like this (What?)
Y'all niggas wanna talk shit (But)
Why don't you put it on the blog, nigga?
Rockin' like this is my job, nigga
We can't help that we popular
And all these folks wanna flock to us
Come to a show and just rock with us
A million plus with binoculars

[Chorus: will.i.am & Fergie, (Fergie)]
I'ma be, I'ma be, I'ma be, I'ma be
I'ma be living that good life
I'ma be living that good-good
I'ma be, I'ma be, I'ma be, I'ma be
I'ma be living that good life
I'ma be living that good-good
I'ma be, I'ma be, I'ma be, I'ma be
I'ma be living that good life
I'ma be living that good-good
I'ma be, I'ma be, I'ma be, I'ma be
I'ma be living that good life
I'ma be living that good-good
I'ma be, I'ma be (Fuego, crazy, loca)
I'ma be, I'ma be, I'ma be, I'ma be (Lo, loca)
