Secrets Lyrics by will.i.am

The Hip-Hop Experiment

2002

[Intro]
I got a secret formula
It's got a little bit of hot and a little bit of cold
I got a secret formula
It's a little bit of hot and a little bit of soul
I got a secret formula
It's just a little bit of hot and a little bit of cold
I got a secret, so keep it on the low
Never tell, ya make sure nobody know, because...

[Verse 1]
In my lab I got hits
In my lab I got rhymes
In my lab I got funk in my lab
You can smell it way before you stepped in my lab
So loud make a brother go deaf in my lab
The mad scientist I'm straight mad in my lab
Blowin' up *censored* like Baghdad in my lab
Spies try to spy, try to see up in my lab
Now private eyes hound while I be up in my lab
'Cause I know something that I can't tell
Won't find out 'cause I keep it so well
You can bang on my head 'till my head swell
I got a new formula I can't tell

[Chorus]
I got a secret formula
It's got a little bit of hot and a little bit of cold
I got a secret formula
It's a little bit of hot and a little bit of soul
I got a secret formula
It's just a little bit of hot and a little bit of cold
I got a secret, so keep it on the low
Never tell, ya make sure nobody know, because...

[Verse 2]
In my lab I got beats
In my lab I got heat
In my lab they try to creep in my lab
Conspiracists try to find out secrets to the lab
But information won't leak 'cause I keeps it in the lab
Top security so thieves can't nab
No way to obtain, no way to have
You can't grab on to what's not possible
Why risk your life going through these obstacles?
Don't even try to get it
Don't even try to get it
A lot of people attempt it, but they die to get it
And when they died they didn't, yo, the secret's hidden
That's just the way the song's written, bruh

[Chorus]
I got a secret formula
It's got a little bit of hot and a little bit of cold
I got a secret formula
It's a little bit of hot and a little bit of soul
I got a secret formula
It's just a little bit of hot and a little bit of cold
I got a secret, so keep it on the low
Never tell, ya make sure nobody know

[Bridge]
'Cause I know something that I can't tell
I know something that I can't tell
I know something that I can't tell
I know something that I can't 'cause
In my lab I got beats
In my lab I got heat
In my lab I got rhymes
In my lab I got funk
In my lab I got skills
In my lab I got rhythm
In my lab I got this
In my lab I got that
In my lab I got all
In my lab I got of
In my lab I got you
In my lab I got wanting
In my lab I got to
In my lab I got listen
In my lab I got funk in my lab (yeah)
Now you can smell it when before you stepped in my lab
Make Dex go deaf when I'm bumpin' in my lab
Huh? What?
Talk about huh? What? What'd ya say?

[Chorus]
I got a secret formula
It's got a little bit of hot and a little bit of cold
I got a secret formula
It's a little bit of hot and a little bit of soul
I got a secret formula
It's just a little bit of hot and a little bit of cold
I got a secret, so keep it on the low
Never tell, ya make sure nobody know

[Outro: Dexter]
Let the science begin!
