[Intro]
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 it, do it, do it
[Will.i.am]
It's going down now
And not a tad bit later
All around the world
Both sides of the equator
Terrorize the phunk
Call me booty alquaeda
I'll verify that I got lots of hootchies on data
Lovin' California
Black eyed peas the terminators
We the exterminators
Invade ya like the radars
Ignore all the haters
Inform all the ladies
It's going down now
And not a tab bit later
[Chorus]
In ten, nine, eight
Seven, six, five, four
Three, two, one
One (One)
One (One)
One (One)
One (One)
One (One)
You ready, you ready? (Hah)
Get ready for the showdown
Get ready for the showdown
Yo, what's about to go down
Yo, what's about to go, go down
[Apl.de.Ap]
Apl's in the building
And I'm here to motivate you
Show you how we do it, do it
We still demonstrators
The phunk for your trunk
Take you high like elevators
Give you what you want
Courtesy Mister Pineda
We breakin' down them barriers
Call us the penetrators
Electrify your area
Zzz-zap hey ya
Go ahead and hate us
It only makes us greater
It's going down now
And not a tab bit later
[Chorus]
In ten, nine, eight
Seven, six, five, four
Three, two, one
One (One)
One (One)
One (One)
One (One)
One (One)
You ready, you ready? (Hah)
Get ready for the showdown
Get ready for the showdown
Yo, what's about to go down
Yo, what's about to go, go down
[Will.i.am]
It's going down, it's going down
Aha aha
It's going down, it's going down
Aha aha
It's going down, it's going down
Aha aha
It's comin' yeah, it's comin' yo
Aha aha
[Taboo]
We the show stoppers
Show rockers
Show you how we rock
Shit, got ya
All open, no jokin'
When I rockin' like this keep open
Obama, no drama
Keep them [?]
Be drummin'
We comin'
We comin'
We comin'
[Chorus]
In ten, nine, eight
Seven, six, five, four
Three, two, one
One (One)
One (One)
One (One)
One (One)
One (One)
You ready, you ready? (Hah)
Get ready for the showdown
Get ready for the showdown
Yo, what's about to go down
Yo, what's about to go, go down
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 it, do it, do it
