BLACK EYED PEAS LYRICS - Bringing It Back

"Bringing It Back"



[Verse One]

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 them 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 gon' speak on it

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

Money is a drug and MC's is on it

We gon' take it back to the days of Mantronix



[Chorus]

Yo *snap* we bringin it back

Check it out cause we bringin it back

All DJ crews that's cuttin, you bringin it back

We bringin it back

All b-boys breakin and bustin, bringin it back

We bringin it back

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

Black Eyed Peas straight bringin it back, check it out



[Verse Two]

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

Approachin on the mic soundin hefty

Ummmmmm, lustin for them pennies

Far too many, MC's wanna praise they Bentley's

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 Aunt Betty

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'ma speak on it

I'ma tell the world why hip-hop is haunted

Money is a drug and MC's is on it

We gon' take it back to the days of Soulsonic



[Chorus w/ variations]



[Chorus Two]

Yo, we bringin it back

Check it out look we bringin it back

All DJ's scratchin and cuttin, you bringin it back

We bringin it back

All b-girls breakin and bustin, you bringin it back

We bringin it back

I'ma do the running man to solidify we bringin it back

Black Eyed Peas steady bringin it back, check it out
