Hands up
Coming with rhythms to make you head jerk
We makin' the whole joint short circuit
Hands high touch the sky get 'em up
Get 'em [x7]
We gone make you move
Elbows above your head peoples
We holdin' up the spot
We gone get it goin' even if y'all don't be knowin'
'Cuz this shit that we throwing get you going gone retarded
Started up, bangin' out hits
Now we're chartin' up
Didn't mean to bump you, pardon us
Diggin' this cut 'cause we sharpened up
You dumbing it down, we smartened it up
We penetrate even though your guard was up
Get down to the Peas 'cuz we fallin' up
Electric 'cuz we like charging up
We the B E Peas uh
Rhythmic sonic pleaser
Getcha hot like fever, boiling two hundred degrees ah
You're burning up
Heat's getting low let me turn it up
Let me fuck you up your ear 'til my sperm is up in your brain
And the baby Wil I Am's be sayin'
[Hook]
Tabamatic oh man you flows
Deeper than Atlantic O's
A-pl-de Ap got ridiculous flows
Catchin' rhythm makin' 'em grow
Mathematic A-pl will go
Up in the scene we original
You know what I mean be, be mineral
Stormin' strong for my several
Barricade laid for you terribles ho
I'm the chief Fil-I-pi-no
Letting you know we're about to blow
Wil-I-Am, Ap, and Tab double O
Set 'em up, set ' em up, set 'em up
Time for us to raise it up
Never goin' down always headed up
Raise your hands 'cuz we blaze it up
Anybody here who waited long
To you I dedicate this song
Ain't nothing wrong gotta make you 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 ball y'all throw you hands up
[Hook]
[Break]

We gotcha, gotcha movin' let's make it hotter
Hotter than molted lava
Bubbling like boiling water ah
[Hook]
