Hands Up
Black Eyed Peas Lyrics

Check it out, check it out, check it out
We want you to pay attention to what we're about to do

Check it out, out, out, check it out
We really want you to pay attention because this is going to be good

Check it out, out, out
This is what we've got for you, so listen up

Hands up, coming with rhythms to make your head jerk
We're about to start playing music that will make you move and dance

Hands up, we makin' our whole joint short circuit (yo)
Our music is so good that it might even cause the sound system to malfunction

Hands high, touch the sky, get 'em up
We want you to raise your hands up in the air and enjoy the music

Get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up
We really want you to raise your hands up high and keep them up

We gon' make you move, we gon' make it hot (hot)
Our music is going to get you dancing and the beat is going to be really good

Elbows above your head because we holding up the spot (hit 'em up)
We want you to put your elbows up because our music is taking over the room and we're holding the spotlight

We gon' get it goin' even if y'all don't be knowing
We're going to make the party happen even if you don't know what's going on

(Y'all don't be knowing)
You might not be aware of how good this music is going to be

'Cause this shit that we throwing get you going, gone retarded
Our music is going to make you dance so much that you might lose control

Started up, bangin' like this got me chartin' up
Our music is so good that it's going to be a huge hit

Didn't mean to bump ya, pardon us
Sorry for bumping into you, we're just really into the music

Diggin' this cut 'cause we sharpened up
We're really good at making music and this track is proof of that

You dumbing it down, we smarten it up
Other music might be simplistic, but we're adding intelligence and creativity to our tunes

We penetrate even though your guard was up
We're breaking through any resistance or skepticism you might have had towards our music

Get down to the beat 'cause we fallin' up
Our music is so good that it makes you want to dance and move your body

Electric 'cause we like charging up
Our music has a lot of energy, just like electricity that needs to be charged up

We the B-E-Peas, uh
We are the Black Eyed Peas

Rhythmic sonic pleaser
Our music is a combination of great rhythm and sound that pleases the ears

Hit ya, hot like fever
Our music hits hard and is as intense as a fever

Boiling two hundred degrees, ah
Our music is so hot that it's boiling at 200 degrees

You're burning up
Our music is so hot that it's making you feel too hot

Heat's getting low, let me turn it up
The party is slowing down, so we're going to turn up the music and the heat

Let me fuck up your ear 'til my sperm is up
We're going to keep playing music until you're completely overwhelmed and happy

In your brain, and the baby Will.i.am's be saying
Our music is so catchy that it stays in your head and even babies might hum it

I be the, Tabamatic, full manual flows
I'm Tabamatic, and I have complete control over the rhythm and flow of the music

Deeper than Atlantic O's
Our music goes deep, just like the Atlantic Ocean

Apl.de.ap got ridiculous flows
Apl.de.ap is really good at flowing and rapping

Catchin' rhythm, makin' them grow
We're able to create rhythms that make people want to dance and move

Mathematic Apl will go
Apl.de.ap is really good at math and calculating rhythms and beats

Up in the scene we original
Our music is unique and original

You know what I mean, B-E-P mineral
Our music is as valuable and precious as a mineral

Stormin' strong for the several
Our music is powerful and strong, and it has been popular for a while

Baracade laid for you terribles
We're setting up a barrier for the bad or terrible people who might try to ruin the party

Ho, I'm the chief (Filipino)
I'm the leader of the Black Eyed Peas, and I'm proud to be Filipino

Letting you know we about to blow
We're telling you that our music is about to become very popular and explosive

Will.i.am, Ap and Tab double O
We're the members of the Black Eyed Peas, Will.i.am, Apl.de.ap, and Taboo

Set 'em up, shut 'em down, get 'em up
We're setting up the music, shutting down the bad vibes, and getting the crowd up and excited

Time for us to raise it up
It's time for us to raise the energy and excitement of the party

Never going down, always heading up
Our music is always getting better and more popular

Raise your hands 'cause we blaze it up
We want you to raise your hands and enjoy the blazing music and party atmosphere

Anybody here who waited long
We appreciate those who waited patiently for us to start playing music

To you, I dedicate this song (la-la)
We're dedicating this song to those who love and appreciate our music

Ain't nothing wrong, gotta make it right
We want to make sure that the party is perfect and there's nothing wrong with it

Straight to the point, this is the new joint

And you know this is the jam y'all
This music is so good that it's definitely the jam and everyone knows it

Have a ball y'all, throw your hands up

The party and music is so hot and exciting that it's like molten lava

Bubblin' like boilin' water
The party and music is bubbling and boiling with excitement like boiling water

Ah (you get 'em up, what?)
We're excited and energetic, and we want you to keep getting your hands up

Hands up, get ya hands up
We want you to raise your hands up in the air and enjoy the music

Get ya hands in the air like it's a stick-up
We want you to raise your hands up high like you're being robbed, but in a fun way

The reason why people have their hands up is because our music is so good and is tearing everything up
