Oariá raiô
A joyful exclamation, a celebration of life and rhythm.

Obá obá obá
More excitement and energy, an invitation to dance and party.

Mas que nada
Here we are, the Black Eyed Peas and Sergio Mendes, ready to make our mark in samba music.

Black Eyed Peas came to make it hotter
We are bringing our own unique style to samba, making it more energetic and exciting.

We be the party starters
We are here to rock the party and get people moving.

Bubblin' up just like lava, like lava
Our music is heating up and getting more intense, like molten lava rising to the surface.

Heated like a sauna
Our rhythm and beats are intense, like the heat in a sauna.

Penetrating through your body armor
Our music is so powerful and rhythmic that it can break through any barriers or defenses.

Rhythmically we massage ya
Our music has a special way of moving through your body and relaxing you like a massage.

With hip hop mixed up with samba
We are fusing two different genres of music, hip hop and samba, to create a unique and exciting sound.

You know we never stop we never rest, y'all
We are always on the move, always creating and pushing ourselves to the next level.

The Black Eyed Peas'll keep it funky fresh, y'all
We are all about keeping it fresh and funky, bringing new sounds and rhythms to the table.

And we won't stop until we get y'all, 'til we get y'all sayin'
Our goal is to get everyone moving and grooving to our music.

Peter Piper picked peppers

But Tab rocked rhymes-a

Radio stations blastin' every mind-a
Our music is spreading, reaching out to millions of people through radio airwaves.

We crossing boundaries like everyday
We are breaking down barriers and reaching new audiences every day.

To rock ya body, Bobbie be on the R and the Bay
Our music is inspiring people to dance, moving their bodies to the rhythm of the samba beat.

We got we got Tab magnifications

Drop hot hot be my daily operation
We are always working hard, dropping hot beats and creating new music every day.

Got to put in work in this crazy occupation
Making music can be a crazy and challenging job, but we are willing to put in the work to succeed.

Gotta keep it movin' (that's the motivation)
We are always pushing forward, constantly moving and innovating in our music.

Up in the lab every day 'til daylight
We are always working hard in the studio, perfecting our craft and making great music.

That's the way things move in this monkey business
Making music can be a bit of a wild ride, but we love it and thrive in this environment.
