Showdown

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo, yo, yo

This is how we do it, this is how we go

This is how we rock, this is how we roll

This is how we do it, do it, do-do, do-do it, do it

It's goin’ down now and not a tad bit later

All around the world, both sides of the equator

Terrorize the funk, call me Bootsy Al'Qaeda

I'll verify that I got lots of hoochies on data

Govern California, Black Eyed Peas the Terminators

We the exterminators, invade ya like the Raiders

Ignore all the haters, inform all the ladies

It's goin’ down now and not a tad bit later

In 10, 9, 8, 7-6-5

4, 3, 2, 1

1 (One), 1 (One), 1 (One), 1 (One), (One)

You ready? You ready? (Ha)

Get ready for the showdown

Get ready for the showdown

Yo, it's about to go down

Yo, it's about to go, go dow-ow-own[Verse 2: apl.de.ap]

Ap's in the buildin', and I'm here to motivate you

Show you how we do it, do it, we still demonstrators

The funk for your trunk, take you high like elevators

Give you what you want, courtesy Mr. Pineda

We breakin' down them barriers, call us the penetrators

Electrify your area, bzzap, yea-yah

Go ahead and hate us, it only makes us greater

It's going down now and not a tad bit later

In 10, 9, 8, 7-6-5

4, 3, 2, 1

1 (One), 1 (One), 1 (One), 1 (One), (One)

You ready? You ready? (Ha)

The most powerful force on the planet

Is the energy of the youth

One can stimulate the economy

But when this powerful youth becomes activated

And stimulated

And collectively decides not to buy things

What will happen to the economy?
