Текст песни: Black Eyed Peas. Bridging The Gap. Bringing It Back.

I know I'm not the only one that's filling the void
Creatively hip-hop is being destroyed
A lot of rappers really need to be unemployed
Because the topics that they talk about has got me annoyed
You see I heard it all before, there's no need to repeat it
The forms I vacated, might as well delete it
Put your program in and open a new file
You shoulda took your record advance and bought a style

We the only crew that came original
While a lot of other brothers just mimic the pile
The pile that's only designed for pop charts
That contradicts thought
That's the reason we brought it back
'Cause honestly, it lacks, talent and creativity, in fact
These are symptoms to somethin' that's wack
And your system senseless to witness that

So, baby if you wanna, we gonn' speak on it
We gonn' tell the world why hip-hop is haunted
Money is a drug and MC's is on it
We gonn' take it back to the days of Mantronix

Yo, we bringin' it back, check it out 'cause we bringin' it back
All DJ crews that's cuttin', bringin' it back, we bringin' it back
All b-boys breakin' and bustin', bringin' it back, we bringin' it back
I'm a do the cabbage patch to solidify, we bringin' it back
Black Eyed Peas straight bringin' it back, check it out

Y'all, your rhymes ain't ready, you dead like Kenny
Approachin' on the mic soundin' hefty
Lustin' for them pennies far too many
MC's wanna praise they yella
Yo, we breakin' it down with the art
DJ and breakin' up on the chart
MC's pull out your mic, rip it apart
Writers hit up the wall, put up your mark

And set get ready, hold yourself steady
Tryin' to make a turn like Andretti
Sharp on the mic and slice like a machete
Feelin' the beat, real deep, down to my belly
Back in the essence, rhyme with the reasons
Too many MC lost the true meanin'
Hip-hop, bringin' it back with the feelin'
Y'all, we're bringin' it back with the feelin'

So love me if you wanna, but I'm a speak on it
I'm a tell the world why hip-hop is haunted
Money is a drug and MC's is on it
We gonn' take it back to the days of Soulsonic

Yo, we bringin' it back, check it out, we bringin' it back
All DJ crews that's cuttin', bringin' it back, we bringin' it back
All b-boys breakin' and bustin', bringin' it back, we bringin' it back
I'm a do the cabbage patch to solidify, we bringin' it back
Black Eyed Peas straight bringin' it back, check it out

Yo, we bringin' it back, check it out look, we bringin' it back
All DJ's scratchin' and cuttin', bringin' it back, we bringin' it back
All B-girls breakin' and bustin', bringin' it back, we bringin' it back
I'm a do the runnin' man to solidify, we bringin' it back
Black Eyed Peas steady bringin' it back, check it out

B-girls
