Don’t Bring Me Down - Intellectual

[Intro: Fergie]

Ah-ah-ah, ah

[Verse 1: apl.de.ap]

Hey, what's up?

We back up in the cut

Beat it up into submission

We don't need no permission

Black Eyed Peas the coalition

Everybody go and listen

We goin' on a mission

Givin' you what you've been missin'

So scream and shout

You gotta let it out

The energy will never die

I can see it in the crowd

Get your engine up!

And wave your hands high

Like you tryin' to touch the sky, but

[Chorus: apl.de.ap & Fergie]

Don't bring me down (Just pick me up)

Don't bring me down (Just pick me up, up)

Don't bring me down (Just pick me up)

Don't bring me down

[Post-Chorus: Fergie]

Ah-ah-ah, ah

[Verse 2: will.i.am]

Hey, hot damn

We back up in the jam

Gotta drop it like slam

We rock it 'cause we can

Let's scream (Let's scream)

And shout (And shout)

Let's turn this sucker out

Yeah, we burnin' down the house

Y'all know what we all about

Yo, we energetic, so magnetic

Gravitate to my poetic

You connect? 'Cause I'm kinetic

This is real, it ain't cosmetic

We are feeling, not synthetic

When I send it, you will get it

It's so splendid, can't forget it

I know you lovin' the sound...

[Chorus: apl.de.ap & Fergie]

Don't bring me down (Just pick me up)

Don't bring me down (Just pick me up, up)

Don't bring me down (Just pick me up)

Don't bring me down...

[Post-Chorus: Fergie]

Ah-ah-ah, ah

[Bridge: will.i.am & Fergie]

Don't let the elevator

Go on and bring me down

Feel the escalator

Move up to higher ground

[Outro: Fergie]

Move up to higher ground

Don't let the elevator bring you down
