Bringing It Back - Black Eyed Peas

I know I'm not the only one that's filling the void

Creatively hip-hop is being destroyed

A lot of rappers really need to be unemployed

Because the topics that they talk about has got me annoyed

You see I heard it all before there's no need to repeat it

The forms I vacated might as well delete it

Put your program in and open a new file

You shoulda took your record advance and bought a style

We the only crew that came original

While a lot of other brothers just mimic the pile

The pile that's only designed for pop charts

That contradicts thought

That's the reason we brought it back

'Cause honestly it lacks talent and creativity in fact

These are symptoms to somethin' that's wack

And your system senseless to witness that

So baby if you wanna we gonn' speak on it

We gonn' tell the world why hip-hop is haunted

Money is a ** and MC's is on it

We gonn' take it back to the days of Mantronix

Yo we bringin' it back check it out 'cause we bringin' it back

All DJ crews that's cuttin' bringin' it back we bringin' it back

All b-boys breakin' and bustin' bringin' it back we bringin' it back

I'm a do the cabbage patch to solidify we bringin' it back

Black Eyed Peas straight bringin' it back check it out

Y'all your rhymes ain't ready you dead like Kenny

Approachin' on the mic soundin' hefty

Lustin' for them pennies far too many

MC's wanna praise they yella

Yo we breakin' it down with the art

DJ and breakin' up on the chart

MC's pull out your mic rip it apart

Writers hit up the wall put up your mark

And set get ready hold yourself steady

Tryin' to make a turn like Andretti

Sharp on the mic and slice like a machete

Feelin' the beat real deep down to my belly

Back in the essence rhyme with the reasons

Too many MC lost the true meanin'

Hip-hop bringin' it back with the feelin'

Y'all we're bringin' it back with the feelin'

So love me if you wanna but I'm a speak on it

I'm a tell the world why hip-hop is haunted

Money is a ** and MC's is on it

We gonn' take it back to the days of Soulsonic

Yo we bringin' it back check it out we bringin' it back

All DJ crews that's cuttin' bringin' it back we bringin' it back

All b-boys breakin' and bustin' bringin' it back we bringin' it back

I'm a do the cabbage patch to solidify we bringin' it back

Black Eyed Peas straight bringin' it back

Yo we bringin' it back check it out look we bringin' it back

All DJ's scratchin' and cuttin' bringin' it back we bringin' it back

All B-girls breakin' and bustin' bringin' it back we bringin' it back

I'm a do the runnin' man to solidify we bringin' it back

Black Eyed Peas steady bringin' it back check it out
