Black Eyed Peas
Showdown
[Intro: will.i.am & Fergie]
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, do-do it, do it

[Verse 1: will.i.am]
It's goin’ down now and not a tad bit later
All around the world, both sides of the equator
Terrorize the funk, call me Bootsy Al'Qaeda
I'll verify that I got lots of hoochies on data
Govern California, Black Eyed Peas the Terminators
We the exterminators, invade ya like the Raiders
Ignore all the haters, inform all the ladies
It's goin’ down now and not a tad bit later

[Pre-Chorus: will.i.am]
In 10, 9, 8, 7-6-5
4, 3, 2, 1
1 (One), 1 (One), 1 (One), 1 (One), (One)
You ready? You ready? (Ha)

[Chorus: will.i.am & Fergie]
Get ready for the showdown
Get ready for the showdown
Yo, it's about to go down
Yo, it's about to go, go dow-ow-own
[Verse 2: apl.de.ap]
Ap's in the buildin', and I'm here to motivate you
Show you how we do it, do it, we still demonstrators
The funk for your trunk, take you high like elevators
Give you what you want, courtesy Mr. Pineda
We breakin' down them barriers, call us the penetrators
Electrify your area, bzzap, yea-yah
Go ahead and hate us, it only makes us greater
It's going down now and not a tad bit later

[Pre-Chorus: will.i.am]
In 10, 9, 8, 7-6-5
4, 3, 2, 1
1 (One), 1 (One), 1 (One), 1 (One), (One)
You ready? You ready? (Ha)

[Chorus: will.i.am & Fergie]
Get ready for the showdown
Get ready for the showdown
Yo, it's about to go down
Yo, it's about to go, go dow-ow-own

[Bridge: will.i.am, Taboo]
It's goin’ down, it's goin’ down, uh-huh, uh-huh
It's goin’ down, it's goin’ down, uh-huh, uh-huh
It's goin’ down, it's goin’ down, uh-huh, uh-huh
It's comin', yeah, it's comin', yo, uh-huh (Yeah), uh-huh
[Verse 3: Taboo, will.i.am]
We the show stoppers (Uh-huh), show rockers (Uh-huh)
Show y'all how we rock shit, we got'cha (Uh-huh)
All open (Uh-huh), no jokin' (Uh-huh)
Wanna rock it like this? Keep hopin' (Uh-huh)
Obama, no drama
Keep hittin' them skins like karma
Big drummin', we comin'
We comin', we come

[Pre-Chorus: will.i.am & Taboo]
In 10, 9, 8, 7-6-5
4, 3, 2, 1
1 (One), 1 (One), 1 (One), 1 (One), (One)
You ready? You ready? (Ha)

[Chorus: will.i.am & Fergie]
Get ready for the showdown
Get ready for the showdown
Yo, it's about to go down
Yo, it's about to go, go dow-ow-own

[Post-Chorus: will.i.am & Fergie]
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, do-do it, do it
[Album Interlude Outro]
The most powerful force on the planet
Is the energy of the youth
One can stimulate the economy
But when this powerful youth becomes activated
And stimulated
And collectively decides not to buy things
What will happen to the economy?
