Let's Get It Started Lyrics
Let's Get It Started, in here...
And the base keep runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and
runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and...
In this context, there's no disrespect, so, when I bust my rhyme, you break your necks.
We got five minutes for us to disconnect, from all intellect collect the rhythm effect.
Obstacles are inefficient, follow your intuition, free your inner soul and break away from tradition.
Coz when we beat out, girl it's pullin without. You wouldn't believe how we wow shit out.
Burn it till it's burned out. Turn it till it's turned out. Act up from north, west, east, south.
[Chorus:]
Everybody, everybody, let's get into it.
Get stupid.
Get it started, get it started, get it started.
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here. Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here.
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here. Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here.
Yeah.
Lose control, of body and soul.
Don't move too fast, people, just take it slow.
Don't get ahead, just jump into it.
Ya'll here a body, two pieces to it.
Get stutted, get stupid.
You'll want me body people will walk you through it.
Step by step, like you're into new kid.
Inch by inch with the new solution.
Trench men hits, with no delusion.
The feeling's irresistible and that's how we movin'.
[Chorus:]
Everybody, everybody, let's get into it.
Get stupid.
Get it started, get it started, get it started.
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here. Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here.
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here. Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here.
Yeah.
Runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin runnin' and...
C'mon y'all, lets get woohoo!

Let's get ill, that's the deal.
At the gate, we'll bring the bud top drill. (Just)
Lose your mind this is the time,
Ya'll test this drill, Just and bang your spine. (Just)
Bob your head like epilepsy, up inside your club or in your Bentley.
Get messy, loud and sick.
Ya'll mount past slow mo in another head trip. (So)
Come then now do not correct it, let's get pregnant let's get hectic.
[Chorus:]
Everybody, everybody, let's get into it.
Get stupid. (Come on)
Get it started (come one) , get it started (yeah), get it started.
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here. Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here.
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here. Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started

mwahaaha first to type!! anyways, i think this is better than the original cos the beat is betta!
quiffporn, do u follow me or summat, everywhere i post, u do too!
QP: I also hate this group now, which is a pity, because I really liked them before they sold out completely by releasing the musical abortion that is Elephunk. It's quite sad, because Bridging The Gaps was excellent.
"Let's Get It Started"? Ugh. If people are offended by your song, you should never change it to make more money from it.
What Oball is referring to is that the song was originally titled "Let's Get Retarded" not "Let's Get It Started." The group did not want to play "Let's Get Retarded" at a concert, where the front seats of some shows frequently are reserved for disabled people. Actually I didn't know this, I always though that the front seats went to the most connected people and to the highest payers for tickets. But the Black Eyed Peas play a lot of benefit concerts, and at certain public places or benefits they may put the handicapped people in the most accessible area.
Only some of the lyrics refer to the "retarded" idea, which really has more to do with losing inhibition and not being afraid to let go, even if it means looking like an idiot. This is of course just a party song, kind of like Pink's "Get This Party Started" which is definitely more annoying than this song (Check out the lyrics to that song, now THOSE are real awful lyrics).
sorry but your wrong, let's get retarted refers to being incredibly drunk. it has nothing to do with the mentally ill

Come then now do not correct it, let's get pregnant let's get hectic?? I always thought it was let's get Igniant as in slang for ingnorant. it goes allong with the whole stupidity theme. come on lets get Pregnant?!?! how does that tie into the song at all?? any way this song is different....different thats a good word for it
I totally agree with you stoolhardy. I think the song is meant to just get the party started and get everybody dance how ever their style is even if it makes you look stupid. Most of their songs are dance/club oriented so their lyrics don't make too much sense because you are just supposed to get your groove on, not pay attention to the words.
I think they changed retarded to started cuz u can't say retard on the radio and they wanted this as one of their singles
Yes.
That is an example of selling out.
You all are to uptight man this is a rockin' awesome song but you uptight grandpas have no respect for music.....AND ME.....
does it say "let's get pregnant"? for god's sake....whatever. this song is very good. well, bep r only for dance, rnb songs, not 4 ballads. i like bep but not fergie.
