When We Move
(专辑: A Beautiful Revolution (Pt 2) - 2021)
[Common:] Bouncing, 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 being 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 [Seun Kuti:] When we move The
whole world follows in our path When we move The
whole world follows in our path [Black Thought:] 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 dealing 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 Pop, then I
stop when I
shine beyond stellar Fela, Kwame Nkrumah, Mandela Leader, 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 Celebrating my peeps when I
innovate For my dons and divas weighing odds and evens To the
non-believers, vagabonds and heathens Achievers, we ain't satisfied with dreaming Long as I'm still breathing, watch how I
move [Seun Kuti:] 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
