You gotta keep it on the positive
Na, na, na...
Nowadays it's hard to make a livin but easy to make a killin 'cause
People walk around one just one itchy feelin
I feel nauseated from your evil drug dealin, bless feelin
The definition of top billin
It's ill the my vocabulary
Diggin your life style scary
No wonder why you carry a two, to retaliate
Tryin to annihilate
The one a two annihilate you
They got some dude just to get you bugged
Really y'all, this shit is all out of whack
You can go out at night yet you won't come back
And this verse that I'm kickin some might take it personal
And come out and get me, but worst of all
These rap fans are taking these shit serious
It ain't New York versus L.A.
'Cause really it's hip-hop, not a big ole' problem
Now let's see what we could do to solve them (Solve them...)
Na, na, na...
We gotta keep it on the positive (Positive...)
Na, na, na...
We must keep it on the positive (Posivive...)
Lucifer's got your little mind twisted
'Cause God once gave you the meaning of life and you missed it
You've been listed in the devil's books
Livin the life of crooks and hoes and in such and such
All that shit, that don't mean much
You got one hand on your gat while your genitals are being touched
Livin the life that's plushed and glamourus
Drunk and high with your little soul's crushed
Don't you know that life is a mirage
I keep myself sober so my soul is camouflaged
If the devil cannot see me tell me how can he attack me
If he can't grasp a hold tell me how can he try to snatch me
I ain't talking about the white man, the black man or a Jew man
'Cause the devil can exist in every human
Look how Biggie went out, and Tupac went out
And Martin, and Malcolm, and Kennedy, and 'Squeek?
And Adam, and Rene, and so on, and so on...
Na, na, na...
We gotta keep it on the positive (Positive...)
Na, na, na...
We gotta keep it on the positive (Posivive...)
Even though we got problems
We gotta find some way to solve 'em
I hope you come and follow me now
(Keep it on the positive)
Even though we got problems
I hope you find some way to solve 'em (Solve 'em...)
(Keep it on the positive)

We're currently located over the Los Angeles scene
While you see a lot of niggas perpetrating like they're kings
With this so-called God complex
But when I see they mind they only see checks
So let's get our heads together
Let's form a foul weather
Proclaim against perpetrators
Well said, Alligator
Our realm, no perpetrator
A society choose the elevator
Of success by identity cross-fader
Complex thinking they're really much greater
Plain raw, harness all, maybe rough radar
Tough enough to perpetrate, I talk to you later
But wait, what about that midget brains
Unable to see reality too unreal
I'm sealed with mind, body and soul
Connected together, we tougher than leather
We much more than you think we are
We are the product of our on environment repent
With equality, plus durality
And taken all kind of posibilities (...bilities)
I sing the song from the soul
Let it rise from the tone
Let it rhythmically grow
Into it's own life
Let it become you
Then you become it
Once you become it everything will be infinite
Will be infinite, will be infinite, will be infinite...
We much more than you think we are
We are the product of our on environment repent
With equality, plus durality
And taken all kind of posibility
I sing the song from the soul
Let it rise from the tone
Let it rhythmically grow
Into it's own life
Let it become you
Then you become it
Once you become it everything will be infinite
Will be infinite, will be infinite, will be infinite...
I Black Eyed Peas (BEP) sono un gruppo hip hop statunitense, formatosi nel 1995 a Los Angeles (California). Il loro LP di debutto Behind the front uscì nel 1998, e venne molto apprezzato. Il gruppo allora era formato da due già compagni di liceo, "apl.de.ap." e "will.i.am" e dal rapper "taboo" assieme alla corista Kim Hill; venne accolto bene dalla critica ma ricevette poche attenzioni. Due anni dopo il secondo album con i medesimi componenti, Bridging The Gap con collaborazioni di Chali 2na dei Jurassic 5, De La Soul e Macy Gray.
