Cali to New York Lyrics by Black Eyed Peas

Bridging the Gap

2000

[Verse 1: will.i.am]
As soon as A La stepped off (the floor)
People started hollerin' (for more)
Beggin us to bless 'em with an (encore)
You know the Peas they game to that (for sure)
No matter what the coast we, be on
Pacific or Atlantic we, stay strong
Foreign or domestically, we conquer
All obstacles professionally and rock on
And that's exactly how we made it rock, made it rock
We turn this on and then we make it hot, make it hot
We also known to cause a state of shock, state of shock
We start at 2 then go to 10 o'clock, 10 o'clock
10 o'clock the next day that is, day that is
No matter what city or state that is, state that is
Don't ask no questions, that's the way that is, way that is
Don't ask no questions, that's the way that is
[Chorus: will.i.am]
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
[Verse 2: Posdnous]
Introduce Posdnous y'all, 'Nous y'all
Sticky like cous-cous y'all, 'Cous y'all
Be the words that I ap-ply, ap-ply
My peeps mass, karma N.Y., N.Y
Check it out, you see you other MC's, sound like brother MC's
Raised by the same pop and mother emcees
While I got a lot of brand in my name, I'm recognizable
Leavin me the cash amount, that's quite sizable
Rich in that english that's broke as hell
That's why my niggas in the hood understand me so well
Its the modern rap type talk, used to walk
All over your ears you hear the thump
This track pumps like, well order
Some others fell short of the line of finish
You didn't practice harder at the scrimmage
Now my image is the golden cup
My career is dirty compared to yours, it's all washed up
[Chorus: will.i.am]
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
[Verse 3: Dove]
We, we, we, we regulate and cross plates, destruct ya
Toss coins to distract it and we bust ya
Minds blow bigger than tempers out in Russia
Cuss like a sailor, make you shame like thelya
Stitch a verse tailored to fit, spray paintin' your spit
On the deco we art, spread apart
I raid mo' tracks than flicks in "Beat Street"
With kicks until the soul wear out, never that
We weather that, you light in the ass and feather that
Heavy like black leather coats, you pleather that
Last dick on the line, we way ahead of that
Squeezin' like Freddie Foxx, and his two Glocks
Rocks don't impress niggas who speak to God
We get jams to make a tuna melt
Held down by the BEP, we strictly, new getty
Two-fifty up in front of the mic, so what it look like?
[Chorus> will.i.am]
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
Back, back, back, back, and forth
From Ca-li to New York
Back
[Outro]
Sentada aquí junto a la ventana
Esta soledad, cómo me duele
Mi cuerpo llora por amor
Extraño los besos de pasión
Soñando, sueño con tus besos tan dulces, mi amor
Y tus... tus labios
