[Intro]

(Faint whispers and instrumental)

(*Snoring noise, and awoken*) (DDC) (Got to move) Yeah! (Diaspora-icaly, this place, California)

We movin’ like Africans moved across the middle passage (Philly)

([?] Arkansas to Chicago, Santa Cruz, (Chicago) Palo Alto, Paris, Peru, Iraq, Iran, (Portland) (That’s right, Jackie Robinson)

Ventura County (Senegal), moving all day (Jamaica) back and forth and now)

Like slaves moved across the swampy waters, like colored [?] from South Illinois Like black folks, like African Americans, move

[Hook]

And we are movin’

Can’t stop ‘cause we ain’t got time

Just like grandpa used to say (Used to say)

Oh, the time

Will come

Some day

Some people

(Some people) Choose to live their lives

And they’re movin’ this way (Movin’ this way)

Keep on movin’ don't stop (Keep on movin’)

Keep on movin’ don’t stop

(Keep on movin’)

Keep on movin don’t stop

(Keep on movin’)

Keep on movin’

[Verse 1: Tim’m West]

I’m movin’ [?] to the mid-AtlanticFrantic Grant it collegiate ebonic, philosophical antics

Found myself found hip-hop, he was locked up in a closet

Trying to hide from spitting real topics

I gave him the key to unlock his voice

He gave me, me

I gave him free bboy for religion, beatbox tradition

I slaved under a master named Duke

Who rebukes strange fruit

Till I broke free from the [?] and found my truth

A Christopher street cypher after Tuesday redzone

Fresh cologne

No ET phone home, I lived alone

Bout to explode in a boat when a ninja saved my life

Banjee realness crucifix kiss a nice price

He said “yes” I was blessed but had to move west

I was at bay

Hated tall trees, hung out and [?]

While my parles got a little bit better than okay

A little bit wetter than LA

A little bit betta than BK

And Oak Town without fear

And a conscious smoke clear

And some other brothers with similar movements to help steer

Ninety-nine was the year

It was me (Background voice: Rashwan)

LSP

(Background voice: JV)

Point five

It was the E

(Background voice: G-minus)

Keeping it live

(Background voice: Man, man)

And we just kept on movin’

[Hook]

We are movin’

Can’t stop ‘cause we ain’t got time

Just like grandpa used to say (Used to say)

Oh, the time

Will come

Some day (Some day)

Some people

(Some people) Choose to live their lives

Movin’ this way

(Movin’ this way)

Keep on movin’ don't stop, no

(Keep on movin’)

Keep on movin’ don’t stop

(Keep on movin’)

Keep on movin don’t stop, no

(Keep on movin’)

Keep on movin’

Keep on movin’

[Verse 2]

Movin’

I'm trying to hide from fate

Gonna raise the rate

Gonna find the right time to date

And I’m movin’

I can't be late

You rush instead of concentrating on the continual growth

Evolution ascending towards clarity (clarity)

Learning life lessons of what you want

Shining solutions on what you need

Be shining through the fall

Can you see the light? Cuz its um shining so bright

And people seen as people and not like

Dolomite, stereotypes, gays, or dykes

See just be a dime a dozen

Yet overtly ordinary

Taught to be yourself

Let it flow

Hold your brother, sister though

Nothing is lost

In a new start

[Outro]

(Instrumental)

Sometimes you gotta let go

Gone mad

Organized chaos

Deconstructing to reconstruct (keep on moving)

Real education (Keep)
