From RyanSeacrest.com:
“It’s an incredible honor to be a part of such an amazing franchise as Men in Black, and I have so much respect for Will Smith, especially with our similar musical backgrounds,” says Pitbull. “Wanting to keep the music fun yet modern, we used the slogan of the movie and flipped it back into the song that ‘in order to understand the future, you have to go back in time.’” Listen to Pitbull’s “Back In Time” below.How did Pit end up creating the theme song? Barry Sonnenfeld, the director of the film, added, “My 19-year-old daughter turned me on to Pitbull. I’m thrilled that he wrote such a great song for our movie that totally gets it.”
“Back In Time” also features a sample of the 1950s hit “Love is Strange,” written by Sylvia Robinson, Ellas McDaniel and Mickey Baker, which went to #1 for the R&B duo Mickey & Sylvia.
Here are the full lyrics:
INTRO
Let’s
Excuse me baby
Go
Yeah you baby

Excuse me baby

HOOK
Baby
Oh baby
Oh baby
My sweet baby
You’re the one
VERSE 1
Miami equals
Black mask, black clothes
With a little bit of rope to tie
I flipped it
Black suits, white shirts
Black glasses with a matching tie
Like Agent J or Agent K
And I wish the whole world would, ok
I’m trying to make a billion out of 15 cents
Understand, understood
I’m a go-getter, mover, shaker, culture, bury a boarder, record-breaker won’t cha
Give credit where credit is due don’t cha
Know that I don’t give a number 2
Y’all just halfway thoughts
Not worth the back of my mind
But to understand the future, we have to go back in time
HOOK
Baby
Oh baby
Oh baby
My sweet baby
You’re the one
VERSE 2
I got the globe, yeah, in the palm of my hand
Wherever I spin it, that’s where I land
Let’s save the world
Men In Black I know you understand
Stop the movement, they can try if they want to
Ignorar lo latino, si – they can try if they want to
What Pit solves is a bit raw
Took like jigsaw and built it all
Despite a big loss, I’d bet it all
And fought blind against the world, Ray Charles
Y’all just halfway thoughts
Not worth the back of my mind
But to understand the future, we have to go back in time
HOOK
Baby
Oh baby
Oh baby
My sweet baby
You’re the one
BRIDGE
Let’s
Excuse me baby
Go
Yeah you baby
Back
Oh you groovy baby
In
Let’s make a movie baby
Time
Excuse me baby
Let’s
Yeah you baby
Go
Oh you groovy baby
Back in
Let’s make a movie baby
Time
HOOK
Baby
Oh baby
Oh baby
My sweet baby
You’re the one

Oh baby
Oh baby
My sweet baby
You’re the one
