Cali To New York Lyrics - The Black Eyed Peas

1 As soon as a la stepped off (the floor)

2 People started hollerin' (for more)

3 Beggin us to bless 'em with an (encore)

4 You know the peas they game to that (for sure)

5 No matter what the coast we, be on

6 Pacific or atlantic we, stay strong

7 Foreign or domestically, we conquer

8 All obstacles professionally and rock on

9 And that's exactly how we made it rock (made it rock)

10 We turn this on and then we make it hot (make it hot)

11 We also known to cause a state of shock (state of shock)

12 We start at 2 then go to 10 o'clock (10 o'clock)

13 10 o'clock the next day, that is (day, that is)

14 No matter what city or state that is (state that is)

15 Don't ask no questions, that's the way that is (way that is)

16 Don't ask no questions, that's the way that is

17 (chorus - 4x)

18 Back, back, back, back, and forth

19 From Ca-li to New York

20 (verse two: pos)

21 Introduce posdonus y'all ('nus y'all)

22 Sticky like cous-cous y'all (cous y'all)

23 Be the words that I ap-ply (ap-ply)

24 My peeps mass, karma N.Y. (N.Y.)

25 Check it out, you see you other emcees, sound like brother emcees

26 Raised by the same pop and mother emcees

27 While I got a lot of brand in my name, I'm recognizable

28 Leavin me the cash amount, that's quite sizable

29 Rich in that english that's broke as hell

30 That's why my niggaz in the hood understand me so well

31 Its the modern rap type talk

32 Used to walk, all over your ears

33 You hear the thump, this track pumps like, well order

34 Some others fell short of the line of finish

35 You didn't practice harder at the scrimmage

36 Now my image is the golden cup

37 My career is dirty compared to yours, it's all washed up

38 (chorus - 4x)

39 Back, back, back, back, and forth

40 From ca-li to New York

41 (verse three: dove)

42 We, we, we, we regulate and cross plates, destruct ya

43 Toss coins to distract it and we bust ya

44 Minds blow bigger than tempers out in Russia

45 Cuss like a sailor, make you shame like thelya

46 Stitch a verse tailored to fit

47 Spray paintin' your spit

48 On the deco we art, spread apart

49 I raid mo' tracks than flicks in "beat street"

50 With kicks until the sole/soul wear out, never that!

51 We weather that, you light in the ass and feather that

52 Heavy like black leather coats, you pleather that

53 Last dick on the line, we way ahead of that

54 Squeezin' like Freddie Foxx, and his two glocks

55 Rocks don't impress niggas who speak to God

56 We get jams to make a tuna melt

57 Held down by the bep, we strictly, new getty

58 Two-fifty up in front of the mic, so what it look like?

59 (chorus to fade)

60 Back, back, back, back, and forth

61 From Ca-li to New York
