Fallin’ Up Lyrics
[Intro: Sierra Swan, will.i.am, Taboo]
Just watch me (I'm fallin' up)
Just watch me (I'm fallin' up)
Just watch me (I'm fallin' up, I am)
Just watch me..
[Verse 1: apl.de.ap, Sierra Swan, will.iam]
Focus on this, the ear seductionists (Watch me, uh)
More than lyricists in this rap metropolis (Uh)
More like an activist, we give it to you all (Watch me, uh)
Presentation will make you have a ball (Ball)
Sounds start conceiving causing you to meditate
Manipulate the line with hypnotical legislate
We far from the fakes, we never fake moves
But jealous motherf****s seems to just disapprove (And talk sh**)
And who the hell he be havin' a fit
Yo, he ain't got sh**, that's why he set trips
(I) I identified what he rips
Which consists of nonsense nothing less than bullsh**
(Westside!) The fool can't hang
With the all around remainders, a real entertainer
Reviver of the true art form of hip-hop
Explore non-stop, entertain ya 'til you drop
[Chorus: apl.de.ap & will.i.am, Taboo, will.i.am, apl.de.ap]
We be fallin' up (Up) never fallin' down (Down)
We keep it at a higher level elevated ground
(Whether in your) area, (City or your) town
Black Eyed Peas is known for gettin' down
We be fallin' up (Up) never fallin' down (Down)
We keep it at a higher level elevated ground
(Whether in your) area, (City or your) town
Black Eyed Peas is known for gettin'...
Just watch me (I'm fallin' up)
Just watch me (I'm fallin' up)
Just watch me (I'm fallin' up, I am)
Just watch me..
[Verse 1: apl.de.ap, Sierra Swan, will.iam]
Focus on this, the ear seductionists (Watch me, uh)

Presentation will make you have a ball (Ball)
Sounds start conceiving causing you to meditate
Manipulate the line with hypnotical legislate
We far from the fakes, we never fake moves
But jealous motherf****s seems to just disapprove (And talk sh**)
And who the hell he be havin' a fit
Yo, he ain't got sh**, that's why he set trips

[Verse 2: Taboo]
Pick the course that ya take, is it fake
There's no remorse for a fake we must break
Time of rap sold some dough what we make, ah
Your collapse feel the force for intake
Witness the Peas as we innovate
Will's extraordinar, expose, instillate
Patternin' pioneers, premier by 'cross the lake
Apl in fact if it's not my mistake
Taboo's unexplained means there's no escape
From it, hate it, love it, rate it as great
God gifted talent showin', that we create
Enough of bein' deep, it's time to motivate
(Damn)
[Chorus: apl.de.ap & will.i.am, Taboo, will.i.am, apl.de.ap]

[Verse 3: will.i.am, apl.de.ap]
I see you try to diss our function by stating that we can't rap
Is it cause we don't wear Tommy Hilfiger or baseball caps?
We don't use dollars to represent (Uh-huh)
We just use our inner sense and talent (That's right)
If you try to diss the Peas you'll get handled by apl.de, the
Rawr, grr
Alligator, número uno creator
Black Eyed Peas be more than a player
Don't got to represent no set (Uh-huh)
Just so I could get some respect
G-Got-G-G-Got-Got, cool
A lot of talent so I can get through
We're doin' 'cause the way that you did it I think that you done corrupt
The whole hip-hop sound so now we gotta follow up
[Chorus: apl.de.ap & will.i.am, Taboo, will.i.am, apl.de.ap]
We be fallin' up (Up) never fallin' down (Down)
We keep it at a higher level elevated ground
(Whether in your) area, (City or your) town
Black Eyed Peas is known for gettin' down
We be fallin' up (Up) never fallin' down (Down)
We keep it at a higher level elevated ground
