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 to back to San Luis Obispo 
As they invaded decedents 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 
Whack MC's vacate your area 
We three deep, comin' out of yo' speaker 
I'm bustin' your woofer and tearin' through your tweeter 
Every rapper's talkin' 'bout killin' somebody 
But they ain't hip-hop to me (check it out) 

This is 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'

It's the Black Eyed Peas shore climbin' up the Empire
State tower livin' is the mission desired
I see a lot of liars throw them in the ocean like fire
And they lyrics soundin' tired, repetitious and expired
Cool them down quick before they time get picked
I can't take 'em serious talkin' about bullshit
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 artform
Man it took the culture 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)

This is 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) We keep it movin'
We got to keep it movin'

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 couches
Quick agility to slow-like slouches
With more bounce to the freak of def ounces

And we announce this, follow us to show you what the sound is
Primo 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

This is 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'
We got to keep it movin'
