BEP Empire lyrics

Three, four...

I'm the W I, double L I M

Linkin' up with the Primo, do it

He's the T to the A to the B, oh oh

Linkin' up with the Primo, do it

He's the A P L to the D E A P

Linkin' up with the Primo, do it

And we the B to the E to the P

Hookin' up with Primo don't do it, do it

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 you get data, descendants of Amadeus

Transmitted through your C.D'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 three deep, comin' out of your 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

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

Yo, we keep it movin'

We got to keep it movin'

It's the Black Eyed Peas sure climbin' up the empire

State tower livin' is the mission desired

I see a lot of liars so to dem I cause some fire

And they lyrics soundin' tired, repetitious and expired

Cool dem down troop before they time get picked

I can't take dem 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 art form

[Incomprehensible] took, [Incomprehensible] 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

'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

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

Yo, we keep it movin'

We got to keep it movin'

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 musical field

Or a visual thrill, we do what we feel

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 deaf ounces

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

Primo and the Peas collaboratin' like great

Aiyyo 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

Funny is a drug and MC's is on it

We gon' take it back to the days of soul sonic

This is the hip, hip, hip, the hop, hop, hop

We keep it, keep it movin', non non stop

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

Yo, we keep it movin'

We got to keep it movin'

This is the hip, hip, hip, the hop, hop, hop

We keep it, keep it movin', non non stop

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

Yo, we keep it movin'

We got to keep it movin'
