FORGET ABOUT DA WORLD - BLACK EYED PEAS LYRICS

 


Forget About Da World


(Music begins with the iconic synth intro and beat)


(will.i.am style verse)

Yo, check it, one two, to the people in the street

Got your phone in your hand and the news on repeat

Another alert, another crisis, another tragic beat

Got you feeling heavy from your head down to your feet

They talkin' 'bout the climate, talkin' 'bout the war

Ticker at the bottom, always wantin' more

I'm buildin' up a bubble, yeah, I'm lockin' the door

'Cause I can't solve the problems if my spirit is poor, uh!


(Fergie style pre-chorus)

I see the headlines flashing, across a broken sky

I used to feel the pressure, and I always wondered why

I'm sending out a signal, to my own damn heart

Tonight, I'm switching off, and making a new start...


(Chorus - Full group harmony with Fergie on the high notes)

Forget about da world!

I'm done with the news!

(I said I'm done with the news)

'Cause I forget about da world!

(Forget about it, yeah!)

Forget about da world!

Forget about DA WORLD!

Forget about da world because I'm done with the news!


(apl.de.ap style verse)

Listen to me now, people, hear what I say

I was on the internet, reading all day

'Bout who to hate, and what to think, and how to pray

It took all the color from my yesterday

So I closed the laptop, put the TV on mute

Switched the conversation to a different root

Now we talkin' 'bout our dreams, and what we're pursuin'

Instead of always feedin' on the world's confusion, come on!


(Fergie style pre-chorus)

I see the headlines flashing, across a broken sky

I used to feel the pressure, and I always wondered why

I'm sending out a signal, to my own damn heart

Tonight, I'm switching off, and making a new start...


(Chorus - Bigger and more anthemic)

Forget about da world!

I'm done with the news!

(I said I'm done with the news)

'Cause I forget about da world!

(Forget about it, yeah!)

Forget about da world!

Forget about DA WORLD!

Forget about da world because I'm done with the news!


(Bridge - Fergie with a more melodic, emotional delivery)

And it's not that I don't care... out there...

It's just that I'm right here... and I'm afraid to disappear...

In all the noise and fear... so I'm tuning out tonight...

To find my own light... my own light...


(Synth breakdown with a catchy "Eh! Eh!" reminiscent of the original)


(Final Chrus - Full energy, ad-libs from will.i.am)

Forget about da world! (Come on!)

I'm done with the news! (Will.i.am: "That's right!")

'Cause I forget about da world!

(Forget about it, yeah!)

Forget about da world!

Forget about DA WORLD!

Forget about da world because I'm done with the news!


(Outro - Beat and synth fade out with whispered ad-libs)

Forget about it...

Done with the news...

Forget about da world...

(Yeah...)

(Fade out)

RAY AND JAY AND BOB (Part 1)

Image
  Ray and Jay and Bob, part 1 Montreal, Canada, 2018 The late September sun had that particular Montreal gold, the kind that gilded the crumbling brick of the Plateau and made the dust motes dance in the air of Ramon Atila’s Civic. The sun warmed the asphalt of Boulevard Décarie, casting a honeyed glow that made even the traffic seem cheerful. Ramon navigated the chaos with one hand on the wheel and the other holding an expertly-rolled blunt, its tip glowing like a tiny, fragrant amber. The scent of high-grade Sour Diesel filled the car, a familiar perfume for his morning commute to his shift at the YMCA. He was, as ever, blissfully unaware. His phone, plugged into the aux cord, was a repository of 347 unread emails and 82 unread texts. He’d been off-grid, holed up in his Mile-End apartment finishing a new treatment, his mind a universe away from the mundane. The radio was tuned to CJAD, Barry “The Bull” Buchanan’s voice a familiar, grating comfort. Today, the airwaves were crackli...

RAY AND JAY AND BOB, PART 2

Image
  Ray and Jay and Bob, part 2 RAY AND JAY AND BOB PART II THE INDUSTRY STRIKES BACK It is a dark time for Ramon Atila. Despite the lucrative Universal deal to direct his own novel, the fledgling auteur is a man besieged. Hounded by a vengeful crime family who believe his fiction is a prophetic tell-all, stalked by an ex-girlfriend’s unhinged mother, and paralyzed by the terror of the blank page, Ray has fled the scrutiny of the city for the deceptive peace of a suburban hotel. But even in exile, there is no escape… ••• The black, late-model Lincoln Town Car, a land-going leviathan of tinted glass and polished menace, cruised with predatory silence down the rain-slicked boulevard. Its sheer, impersonal mass seemed to swallow the light from the streetlamps, a monolithic slab of power gliding through the Montreal night. This was no mere vehicle; it was a command ship, a mobile fortress from which a very specific, cold fury was being projected. With a soft, hydraulic hiss, a panel on t...
