[Chorus]
I've been movin' like I'm James Brown (Yeah, woo)
Different city, state to state, look 'em in the eye
Tell em' we don't play around (Watch, yeah)
No matter what they say, I've been movin' on
I'm movin' (Yeah)
I'm movin' on, I'm movin', yeah, yeah
I've been movin' like I'm James Brown (Watch)
Get the world out my way, yeah
I been makin' moves
[Verse 1]
You see me lining up my time and I'ma shoot (Woo)
James Brown with the vibe and the groove (Yeah)
You got your eyes on the shine, that's my shoes (Ayy)
I got the volume to the top and I'm moving
Look at what God been doing (Woo)
We're scrollin' down the 'Gram
Saw The Rock using my music (Yeah)
I dropped the people's elbow on the beat, let's get into it
I'm in it for they freedom, I think they need that influence
'Cause they've gone rock bottom, they need to call on Yeshua
I'm Rafael the way I shred a beat up in the skewers
The sign so trinity, I'm coded up like I'm Morse
I was lost, 'til my Master took the spinners for the cure
I was living in the sewer
Holdin' the bag all on the back, like them ad-libs (Come on)
Fool under the track, I was actin' like a savage (Woo)
Rude with them, mad at me, thinking that I ran it
'Til I met the King on Damascus, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Now, I'm on a mission with my music, ayy, ayy
Gone til' I'm old or they shoot me, ayy, ayy
Gone on tour, we the movement, ayy, ayy
We ain't stopping what we doing, yeah
[Chorus]
I've been movin' like I'm James Brown (Yeah, woo)
Different city, state to state, look 'em in the eye
Tell em' we don't play around (Watch, yeah)
No matter what they say, I've been movin' on
I'm movin' (Yeah)
I'm movin' on, I'm movin', yeah, yeah
I've been movin' like I'm James Brown (Watch)
Get the world out my way, yeah
I been makin' moves
[Verse 2]
James Brown with it (Yeah)
Coolin' in the lounge with a fly woman on my arm
That's my wife, I'ma get it (Yeah)
Look, she's been down since day one, yeah, she fan the flame
Papa's got a brand new bag and I been in it, ayy (Woo)
Watch what I been doin', my shoes been steppin' on wax
And I'ma polish it, producer build the beat, I demolish it
Hotter than Masada
I'm in the pocket like empanadas
I showed them the Father in my music
I just put a dollar in the jukebox, caught a flu and I'm too hot (Yeah)
That's what you get when you with the God who made 2Pac (Watch me) beat drop, I don't think my shoes stop
Fire on the track, I was never gonna stop
A student droppin', coolin' in mathematical rulings
Couldn't stop the fire that's brewing inside my heart
'Cause Yeshua is like gasoline, with that adamant magma and lighter fluid
Turned immaculate with accurate detonators to cue it
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I've been movin'
It's a movement
Let's get into it, call the groove on the move
Tell my God, "We don't lose"
[Chorus]
I've been movin' like I'm James Brown (Yeah, woo)
Different city, state to state, look 'em in the eye
Tell em' we don't play around (Watch, yeah)
No matter what they say, I've been movin' on
I'm movin' (Yeah)
I'm movin' on, I'm movin', yeah, yeah
I've been movin' like I'm James Brown (Watch)
(Get on it) Get the world out my way, yeah
I've been makin' moves
I been makin' moves
I'm moving, I'm moving
Watch me
Get the world out my way, yeah
I been makin' moves
