The Move

[Intro] Yo Yo Yo He-hello (Yo), he-hello-hello He-hello (Yo), he-hello-hello He-hello (Yo), he-hello-hello He-hello (Yo), he-hello-hello He-hello (Yo), he-hello-hello [Verse 1] Time, time, time, time, time, time It's times like this when I just can't stop Can't wind your body without the body rock Got schemes, schematics, blueprints on file You got to have dreams to make it all worthwhile So as I take my time and realign I wonder what it is I hope to find I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast But I'm intercontinental when I eat French toast Ad-Rock (Woo) with the New Edition Gettin' on down for the year 2000 A slight distraction can get you paid And when it comes to that type shit, I paved the way [Chorus] B-boys to the early morn B-girls be rockin' on and on B-girls to the break of dawn B-boys be rockin' on and on (Hey) [Post-Chorus] Hey Hey [Verse 2] Dogs love me cause I'm crazy sniffable I bet you never knew, I got the ill peripheral In your home, I'm cloned, I'm on your headphones I love it when you spazz out all alone 'Cause I'm that fool that broke the key I'm unlockable so don't check me I got weight on my shoulders and things on my mind The sky is falling and I'm fallin' behind So I synthesize sounds as I patch my brain Insane mind games move quick like flames So now I wonder how sometimes you never know Who be rockin y'all in stere-ereo In stere-ereo, in stere-ereo, in stereo [Verse 3] Ladies and gentlemen A-no time like the present to work shit out That's what we're going on and on and on about I'm not fakin', just makin' beats in the Dungeon Keep that shit funky cause the odor is pungent No shame in my game just par for the path I try to hone my craft because at hand's the task But I find I'm not playing with a full deck I'm up to my neck like Toulouse Lautrec All I want to know is when is checkout time So I could be in heaven with the rhythm rock rhyme And when I'm with my man, Shadi Rock, at the gates We'll be rockin' rhythms over disco breaks [Chorus] B-boys to the early morn B-girls be rockin' on and on B-girls to the break of dawn B-boys be rockin' on and on [Interlude] On and on, on and on On and on, on and on On and on, on and on On and on, on and on On and on, on and on On and on, on and on On and on, on and on On and on, on and on On and on, on and on On and on, on and on [Outro] Hubo una vez un gran rey que tenía muchas tierras, un castillo y también un amor Hubo una vez un gran rey que tenía muchas tierras, un castillo y también un amor Hubo una vez un gran rey que tenía muchas tierras, un castillo y también un amor Hubo una vez un gran rey que tenía muchas tierras, un castillo y también un amor Hubo una vez un gran rey que tenía muchas tierras, un castillo y también un amor Hoy el rey Ho-hoy el rey Brace yourself, fool!
