Let's get it started in here

And the base keep's 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 ya necks
We got five minutes for us to disconnect
From all intellect and let the rhythm affect
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 out
Burn it 'til it's burned out
Turn it 'til it's turned out
Act up from north, west, east, south

Chorus:
Everybody (yeah)
Everybody (yeah)
Let's get into it (yeah)
Get stupid (come on)
Get it started (come on)
Get it started (yeah)
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 will do it
Get stuttered, get stupid
Don't worry 'bout it, people, we'll walk you through it
Step by step like an infant new kid
Inch by inch with the new solution
Transmit hits with no delusion
The feelin's irresistible and that's how we movin'

Chorus

Runnin', runnin' and runnin', runnin'
Come on, y'all, let's get (cuckoo, ah ha)
Let's get (cuckoo…in here)
Why not get (cuckoo...ah ha)
Let's get (cuckoo...in here)
Why not get (cuckoo...ah ha)
Let's get (cuckoo...in here)
Ow ow
Ya ya ya...

Let's get ill, that's the deal
At the gate, uh, we'll bring the bud top drill
Just lose your mind, this is the time
Y'all test this drill, adjust and bang ya' spine
Just bop your head like a Apl De
Up inside ya' club or in your Bentley
Get messy, loud and sick
Y'all mount past slow mo on another head trip
So come then, now, do not correct it
Let's get ignant, let's get hectic

Chorus

Why not get (cuckoo, ah ha)
We get (cuckoo…in here)
Why not get (cuckoo...ah ha)
We get (cuckoo...in here)
Why not get (cuckoo...ah ha)
We get (cuckoo...in here)
Ow ow
Ya ya ya...

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