I like to hear my favorite song on the radio

Tell the D.J. spin it on the mix show
Make a brother feel like I'm down at the disco
And we gonna keep it going like Crisco
'Cause the D.J. grab the record by the fist full
By the crate full and we grateful
When you hear the stuff of records that are tasteful.
Macy Gray:
Last night the D.J. saved my life.

Empire Strikes Black (4:52 - 9:21)
We coming through to take control of each zip code
Bridging the Gap from rap to calypso
We gonna strike each city from 'Frisco
Tokyo to back to San Luis Obispo
As in data, descendants of Amadeus.
(Transmitted through your CD's) Tapes and record players
We the crusaders, attack like alligators
Yo, we're known to elevate like escalators
Yo, we coming through to control your area
Black Eyed Peas control your area
Bringing the vibe that create hysteria
Wack MC's (vacate your area)
We 3 deep, coming out of yo' speaker
I'm busting your woofer and tearing through your tweeter
Every rapper's talking 'about killing somebody
But they ain't hip-hop to me, check it out.
This is the hip hip hip, the hop hop hop
We keep it keep it moving non non stop
{*Scratch "Black Eyed Peas"*} Yo, we keep it moving
{*Scratch*} Yo, we keep it moving
The hip hip hip, the hop hop hop
We keep it keep it moving non non stop
{*Scratch "Black Eyed Peas"*} Yo, we keep it moving
{*Scratch*} We got to keep it moving.
It's the Black Eyed Peas yo climbing up the Empire
State tower living is the mission desired
I see alot of liars so to dem I cross and fire
And they lyrics sounding tired, repetitious and expired
(Cool dem down troop) before they time get picked
I can't take 'em serious talking about bullshit
Got money and cars but can't bullshit
And your lyrics are sounding like some doo doo shit
While I'm holding the mic tight, recite living insight
So we can all benefit from the artform
?? Took ?? you to make dough
But forgot the main goal, almost lost the soul and got norm
'Cause everybody's talking 'about, high profiling
But it ain't hip-hop to me, why why why
'Cause everybody's talking 'about, high profiling
But it ain't hip-hop to me, so check it out y'all.
This is the hip hip hip, the hop hop hop
We keep it keep it moving non non stop
{*Scratch "Black Eyed Peas"*} We keep it moving
{*Scratch*} Yo (we keep it moving)
The hip hip hip, the hop hop hop
We keep it keep it movin, non non stop
(Black Eyed Peas) Yo, we keep it moving
{*Scratch*} We got to keep it moving.
Yeah, your style's dated and you ain't came out yet
Don't think your +fresh+ 'cause your rocking them outfits
I think your lost 'cause you don't know where your route is
Pick up the mic, put your money where your mouth is.
I pick up the mic and put my lyrics where my mouth is
Hit your spirit, make you jump out them couches
Quick agility to slow-like slouches
With more bounce to the freak of def ounces.
And we announce this, follow us to show you what the sound is
Primo and the Peas collaborating like great
Aiyyo let's do this, let's do this, we show you who the crew is
Black Eyed Peas is like the rulers leaving all you brothers clueless
Haters hate us if you wanna, we gon' speak on it
We gon' tell the world why hip-hop is haunted
Funny is a trug and MC's is on it
We gon' take it back to the days of Soulsonic.
This is the hip hip hip, the hop hop hop
We keep it keep it moving non non stop
{*Scratch "Black Eyed Peas"*} Yo, we keep it moving
{*Scratch*} We got to keep it moving
The hip hip hip, the hop hop hop
We keep it keep it moving non non stop
{*Scratch "Black Eyed Peas"*} Yo, we keep it moving
{*Scratch*} We got to keep it moving.
