[Will.I.am:]
Check it out, check it out, check it out
Check it out, out, out, check it out
Check it out, check it out, check it out

Hands up, coming with rhythms to make your head jerk
Hands up, we making our whole joint short circuit
Hands high, touch the sky, get 'em up
Get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up

We gon' make you move, we gon' make it hot, (hot)
Elbows above your head because we holding up the spot, (hit 'em up)
We gon' get it going even if y'all don't be knowing
"Y'all don't be knowing"
'Cause this shit that we throwing get you going, gone retarded
Started up, banging like this got me charting up
Didn't mean to bump ya, pardon us
Digging this cut cause we sharpened up
You dumbing it down, we smarten it up
We penetrate even though your guard was up
Get down to the beat cause we falling up
Electric cause we like charging up
We the B-E-Peas, uh
Rhythmic sonic pleaser
Hit ya, hot like fever
Boiling two hundred degrees, ah
You're burning up
Heats getting low, let me turn it up
Let me fuck up your ear till my sperm is up
In your brain, and the baby will.I.am's be saying

Hands up, coming with rhythms to make your head jerk
Hands up, we making our whole joint short circuit
Hands high, touch the sky, get 'em up
Get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up
Hands up, coming with rhythms to make your head jerk
Hands up, we making our whole joint short circuit
Hands high, touch the sky, get 'em up

[Taboo (apl.de.ap):]
Tabamatic, full manual flows deeper than Atlantic O's
(Apl.de.ap got ridiculous flows)
(Catching rhythm, making them grow)
(Mathematic Apl will go)
Up in the scene we original
(You know what I mean, B-E-P mineral)
(Storming strong for the several)
Baracade laid for you terribles
Ho, I'm the chief (Filipino)
Letting you know we about to blow
Will.I.am, Ap and Tab double O
Set 'em up, shut 'em down, get 'em up
Time for us to raise it up
Never going down, always heading up
Raise your hands cause we blaze it up
Anybody here who waited long
To you, I dedicate this song
(Ain't nothing wrong, gotta make it right)
Straight to the point, this is the new joint
And you know this is the jam y'all
Come on down and dance y'all
Have a ball y'all, throw your hands up

[Will.I.am:]
Hands up, coming with rhythms to make your head jerk

Get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up
Hands up, coming with rhythms to make your head jerk
Hands up, we making our whole joint short circuit
Hands high, touch the sky, get 'em up
Get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up

[The Black Eyed Peas:]
Black Eyed Peas will announce
Some things that you can't avoid
You need to b-b-b-bounce to this
B-b-b-b-b-bounce to our joint
We come with more than a ounce
More like a tonne full of noise
So b-b-b-b-bounce to this
B-b-b-b-b-b-bounce to our joint
We came to get ya, get ya
Bouncing so get ya, get ya
Ass up we got ya, got ya
Moving, let's make it hotter
Hotter than molten lava
Bubbling like boiling water
Aahh, get 'em up
