About This Track

'Moving' is built on a simple philosophy: the only way forward is to keep going. Bugzy Malone frames the track as a meditation on momentum, opening with the idea that stopping is a kind of death, and that the trick is to look through a problem rather than at it. The song moves between reflection and assertion, tracing a path from a time when he couldn't leave his house because of depression to a present where he's watching his bank account grow and his confidence rise. The narrative threads through specific memory: buses he rode, phones he owned, a studio where he worked obsessively, a dream about solitary confinement and the young offenders' institution where he met failure. These details ground the larger claim about resilience. The hook circles back to the central idea, each repetition a small act of self-persuasion. He kept trying even as he kept losing; now he's in his car with the top down, reminding himself he's on top, reminding himself to keep moving. It's a song about the discipline of forward motion, and about the small rituals that sustain it.

"Moving" is a track by Bugzy Malone, from the album Facing Time, released 24th May 2016. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Moving

[Intro]

It comes a point in life when you gotta learn to keep it moving

And what I mean about that is, you can't look at a problem

You gotta look through a problem

You see the minute you stop, you're dying

And the minute you understand that

Well, then you can start to live

Bugzy Malone, you know

Watch this

[Verse 1]

Nobody's doing this for me

Not even behind closed doors

Nobody's stopping this army

Because that's gonna start wars

I hear they wanna know my story

But they don't wanna know yours

That's cause I made music to make me feel good

Not to go on tours

But I hear that my tours just been booked

And I'm gonna make dough

I've never had money in the bank

Now I'm looking at a screen just watching it grow

Along with my confidence

Cause these days I walk with a toxic glow

I remember the days

When I couldn't come out my house cause I felt so low

But wait, I was sitting on the 142

Or was it the 143?

Looking at my Sony Ericsson Walkman phone

Nobody rang me

Then I look at my Nokia

Cause you know they say I make money on the streets

But when you're in a bad place you don't wanna show face

And you don't wanna make P

So I just make music

Ask Ali Kareem I was a studio freak

I fell asleep on the sofa

And I drifted into the deepest sleep

I dreamed that I was in solitary confinement

And I was back in Stoke Heath

That's where I met failure

And it's also where I nearly left my dreams

[Hook]

But I kept it moving

I kept on trying but I just kept losing

More time I'll be in my Beamer cruising

Sometimes I drop the top

Just to remind myself that I'm on top

Just to remind myself that I gotta keep it moving

(Swear down, swear down)

I kept on trying but I just kept losing

(Swear down, swear down)

More time I'll be in my Beamer cruising

(Swear down, swear down)

Sometimes I drop the top

(Swear down)

Just to remind myself that I'm on top

(Swear down)

Just to remind myself that I gotta keep it moving

(Swear down)

[Verse 2]

Swear down

It's like man wanna see me slow down

Its like they wanna see my break down

Like an old Vauxhall with a rattling sound

But there's no way that I'm gonna turn round

More to the point do they think I'm a clown?

Do they think that I made all of this money on the road

To keep walking round my hometown?

As if I don't wanna see the rest of the world

As if I wanna see my brother get killed

As if I didn't keep couple of toasters around me

Just in case some asked to get grilled

I think they forget that I come from a place so bad

That people rarely escape

And the way that I broke the mould

I swear I'm like superman with no cape

You're looking at a walking legend

And that's mad cause they just don't know it yet

I saw my mum breakdown through owing debt

Till the point that my head was going west

But when I seen my uncle drop the top on that Beamer

I was so impressed

That I hit the road with no regrets

And I, had to do loads of CS

Because I was a persistent young offender

I hit the road on my agenda

Nobody could tell me what to do

Because if I got grounded, I'd jump out the window

Heard my dad could ride a ninja

So I started riding

I was brought up on loads of lies

I thought my little sister's dad was mine

[Hook]

But I kept it moving

I kept on trying but I just kept losing

More time I'll be in my Beamer cruising

Sometimes I drop the top

Just to remind myself that I'm on top

Just to remind myself that I gotta keep it moving

(Swear down, swear down)

I kept on trying but I just kept losing

(Swear down, swear down)

More time I'll be in my Beamer cruising

(Swear down, swear down)

Sometimes I drop the top

(Swear down)

Just to remind myself that I'm on top

(Swear down)

Just to remind myself that I gotta keep it moving

(Swear down)
