Bridging the Gaps

[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?

Ah-ah-ah-ah

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 brothers 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, apl.de.ap & 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

Ah-ah-ah-ah

[Adlib: apl.de.ap]

Man, know what I'm sayin'?

There's no scaries

We're takin' it to the maximum

There's no limit, we're taking it higher

[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

L.A. 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, apl.de.ap & 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

Ah-ah-ah-ah

[Adlib: aple.de.ap]

Man, know what I'm sayin'

There ain't no stoppin' this

We're gonna take this as far as we can

Ya know what I'm sayin', on this other mother

[Bridge: apl.de.ap, Kim Hill & Taboo]

Do do do do do do do

(Ayo) Do do do do do do do

(I'm telling you, there ain't no stoppin' me

There ain't no stoppin' the Peas)

Do do do do do do do

(We just gon' rock this music, ya know what I'm sayin'

Positivity will stand, and it just won't go away, man)

Legacy

Do do do do do do do

Legacy must live on

Legacy must live on

[Verse 3: Taboo & will.i.am]

Legacy must live long

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, apl.de.ap & 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

Ah-ah-ah-ah

[Adlib: apl.de.ap]

I'm tellin' you, man

Hey, they ain't gonna stop this

This is a connection, of all music

All creations

The whole nation gettin' together

Feelin' this hip-hop, ya know

Taking it to the higher, like that

We gonna do it like this

You know what I'm sayin' y'all

So, no matter what you doin'

Keep doin' it, know what I mean?

Just keep elevatin'

[Outro: will.I.am & Kim Hill]
