When We Move |
Bouncin', mystic, realistic |
And simplistic, spirits visit |
How we live it, it’s intrinsic |
Kismet kissed it, it’s smeared like lipstick |
Colorful on our souls |
A mouth full of gold or a drummer’s roll |
Stories get told about us |
That’s why things so blah without us |
Wherever we are you can feel the prowess |
Whenever we move, yo, we turn the style up |
I’ma just give Black power its flowers |
Whether in the projects or the palace |
Even when the pale horse tried to gallop |
And stir, stir it up, we kept the balance |
We move in silence, we move the loudest |
Ancestors in my dreams, they move the wildest |
They prayed about us, praised and shouted |
Picture this country bein' brave without us |
A slave’s nostalgia move through the woods with vigor |
When we got free, the world moved with us |
Now they wanna change their bodies, go figure |
Used to call us, now they wanna be niggas |
We the rivers that move through the jungle, yo |
When we move, we make the world wonderful |
When we move |
The whole world follows in our path |
When we move |
The whole world follows in our path |
And who can move like this? |
Let me see what I can do right quick |
My people were made in whose likeness? |
Boy, fly niggas ain’t never flew like this |
Pitch black butterfly from the other side |
Somebody’s style was lost, it wasn’t mine |
I’m in a small demographic |
Of real ones dealin' with all things classic |
King’s fabric, linen and silk |
From the home of the solid gold honey and milk |
The ones who built it from the mud, soil and sand |
A Black man, the world in the skin of his hand |
when I shine beyond stellar |
Fella, Kwamé and, Mandela |
Lead a truth-teller, the inkwell dweller |
My pen signs a New York Times best-seller |
When I move, y’all move in my wake |
B-D energy I generate |
How to never move weak, I demonstrate |
Celebratin' my peeps when I innovate |
For my dons and divas weighin' odds and evens |
To the non-believers, vagabonds and heathens |
Achievers, we ain’t satisfied with dreamin' |
Long as I’m still breathin', watch how I move |
When we move |
The whole world follows in our path |
When we move |
The whole world follows in our path |
When we move (Move) |
The whole world follows in our path |
When we move (Move) |
The whole world follows in our path |
Would they feel the pain like we do? |
Would they hear a cry like we do? |
No one cares, no one cares |
But when we move (Move) |
The whole world follows in our path |
When we move (Move) |
The whole world follows in our path |
But when we move (Move) |
The whole world follows in our path |
When we move (Move) |
The whole world follows in our path |
