Aw, man, you fucking with will.i.am
Cause I’m torching and scorching, my style is awesome
Cracking motherfuckers’ skulls like it’s porcelain
Ay yo, let’s save hip hop from Dr. Kevorkian
Bring it right here, right back to its origin
Ay yo, I’mma hop in my motherfucking DeLorean
So I can Go back and fucking perform again
Ay yo, I [?] some wind mills and some fucking linoleum
MC mic controlling them, I was like
I was steady policing them
Killing emcees, I was straight deceasing them
Compute-deleting them ’til them niggas don’t exist
Because Black Eyes Peas is hard as hell
Battle anybody, I don’t care if you tell
I excel, they all fail, I told them motherfuckers I’mma take them
