Get It Started

"Get It Started"

(feat. Shakira)


To these rappers I apologize, I know it ain't fair

Only ball I drop, New Year's Times Square

The world is mine, sixth sense, I see the seventh sense

Now baby, let's get started for life


Every time I look into your eyes

I feel like I could stare in them for a lifetime

We can get started for life (tonight)

For life (tonight) for life (tonight)

We can get started for life (tonight)

For life (tonight) for life (tonight)

We can get started

[Beat break]


(You know it feels right)


Big news, Pitbull, Tom Cruise, Mumbai

A lit up their December night like the fourth of july, vanilla sky

Thriller in Manila, knocking them out like Pacquiao

No Ali, no Frasier, but for now it's off to Malaysia


Two passports, three cities, two countries, one day

Now that's worldwide, if you think it's a game, let's play, dale


Every time I look into your eyes

I feel like I could stare in them for a lifetime

We can get started for life (tonight)

For life (tonight) for life (tonight)

We can get started for life (tonight)

For life (tonight) for life (tonight)

We can get started

[Beat break]


(You know it feels right)


I am what they thought I'd never become

I believed and became it

Now I'm here to claim it

I hustle anything you name it, name it

I went from eviction to food stamps

To bagging work, wet & damp

To a passport flooded with stamps

Now it's Volì everywhere I land


Two passports, three cities, two countries, one day

Now that's worldwide, if you think it's a game, let's play, dale


Cause if it feels right (you know it feels right)

We shouldn't waste anymore time

Let's get it started (let's get it started)

Don't think about it (let's get it started)

You know I'm gonna make it alright, alright (let's go)


Cause if it feels right (you know it feels right)

You know I made up my mind

Let's get it started (let's get it started)

Don't think about it (let's get it started)

I know that we can make it alright, alright


Every time I look into your eyes

I feel like I could stare in them for a lifetime

We can get started for life (tonight)

For life (tonight) for life (tonight)

We can get started for life (tonight)

For life (tonight) for life (tonight)

We can get started


(Don't start what you can't finish)
