The Black Eyed Peas are a American hip hop group (originally an alternative hip hop group, they have since added R&B, pop, dance, electro and techno influences). Though founded in Los Angeles, California in 1995, it was not until the release of their third album Elephunk in 2003 that the group found widespread acclaim and record sales. Since that time, the group has sold an estimated 56 million records worldwide. According to Nielsen SoundScan, The Black Eyed Peas are the second-best-selling artist or group for downloaded tracks, with over 42 million sales as of the end of 2011.
Their first major hit was the 2003 single "Where Is the Love?" from Elephunk, which topped 13 international charts. Another European hit single from the album was "Shut Up". Their fourth album Monkey Business, was an even bigger worldwide success, certified 4× Platinum in the U.S., and spawning two singles, "My Humps" and "Don't Phunk with My Heart". In 2009, the group became one of only 11 artists to have simultaneously held the No. 1 and No. 2 spots on the Billboard Hot 100, with their singles "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling"; which topped the chart for an unprecedented 26 consecutive weeks. The album later produced a third Hot 100 number-one placement with "Imma Be", making the group one of few to ever place three number one singles on the chart from the same album before being followed with "Rock That Body" and "Meet Me Halfway" which managed to peak in the Top 10 of Hot 100. "I Gotta Feeling" became the first single to sell more than 1 million downloads in the United Kingdom. The Black Eyed Peas were ranked 12th on the Billboard's Decade-End Chart Artist of the Decade, and 7th in the Hot 100 Artists of the Decade.On the 52nd Grammy Awards ceremony, which held in January, 2010 they won 3 awards out of 6 nominations.

Keywords: concert-footage, interview, televisionYou was fooling me once before
But I tell you there's no fooling me twice no more
'Cuz when I open up my third eye, my third eye
You cant get away wit' murder, wit' murder, yeah
You was fooling me once before
But I tell you there's no fooling me twice no more
So stop your oppression, oppression
Check it out I got a question, a question
If Bush is Pinnochio, Pinnochio
Who the hell is Gepetto, Gepetto? Beware of Gepetto
'Cuz he got knives and clips and a dagger
that's shaped into a crucifix
And he'll stab your back with it
And give it to your brother as a necklace for Christmas
Welcome to the valley of the beast
Where they sing in harmony but never speak no peace
Keepin' their eye on the fedia cheddar
things that ain't really for the better
I could point out their behavior
To keep ammuned from the poisonous flavor
But once your caught I can't save ya
They'll manipulate your mind, so you enjoy danger
He can sell sand to Iran
Ice to an Eskimo, water to a dam
And these are akin to Uncle Sam
The one that taught him how to scam
He was fooling me once before
But I tell you he ain't fooling me twice no more
'Cuz when I open up my third eye, my third eye
He cant get away wit' murder, wit' murder
Know what I'm saying?
(No no no no no no)
Can't fool me again
(No no no no no no)
I'm into games you play
I know your game
(No no no no no no)
Won't fall down again
(No no no no no no)
Won't trip on games you play
I know your game
You could fool me once
(No no)
But you can't fool me two times
(No no)
'Cuz I got three eyes
(Yeah yeah)
One look from the left side
(Yeah yeah)
The other from the right side
(Yeah yeah)
Got one eye on the inside
(Yeah yeah)
And I can see you outside
(No no)
Plottin' to come in
You can't fool me, you cant do me
You cant run through me
Sometimes we need to change, to change, to change
Leave the past behind
Leave the past behind or shall we look into the future?
