Let's get it started, in here

And the base keep runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and
Runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and

In this context, there's no disrespect, so
When I bust my rhyme, you break your necks
We got five minutes for us to disconnect
From all intellect, collect the rhythm effect
Obstacles are inefficient, follow your intuition
Free your inner soul and break away from tradition
'Cause when we beat out, girl it's pullin' without
You wouldn't believe how we wow shit out
Burn it 'til it's burned out
Turn it 'til it's turned out
Act up from north, west, east, south

Everybody, everybody, let's get into it
Get stupid
Get it started, get it started, get it started
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here
Yeah

Lose control, of body and soul
Don't move too fast, people, just take it slow
Don't get ahead, just jump into it
Y'all hear about it, the Peas'll do it
Get started, get stupid
You'll want me body people will walk you through it
Step by step, like you're into new kid
Inch by inch with the new solution
Transmit hits, with no delusion
The feeling's irresistible and that's how we movin'

Everybody, everybody, let's get into it
Get stupid
Get it started, get it started, get it started
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here
Yeah

Runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin runnin' and

At the gate, we'll bring the bugged-out drill (just)
Lose your mind this is the time
Y'all test this drill, just and bang your spine (just)
Bob your head like me apl.de, up inside your club or in your Bentley
Get messy, loud and sick
Y'all mount past slow mo in another head trip (so)
Come then now do not correct it, let's get ignant let's get hectic
