B.E.P. Empire

[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-O-O

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

As you get 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 me (check it out)

[Chorus: will.i.am]

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, sure 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

Cool 'em down troop before they time get picked

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

The men it took, ducku? 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]

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'

[Bridge: will.i.am, apl.de.ap and Taboo]

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: will.i.am, apl.de.ap 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 ounces

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: will.i.am]

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'

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'

[Outro: will.i.am]

Movin', movin', movin', movin', movin', movin'

Keep, keep it movin', movin'

Keep, keep it movin'

We got to keep it movin'
