Movers And Shakers

[Verse 1]

The boy stood in the burning slum

Better times had to come

Fate lay in the hands that clap

The muscles that move

The heart to rap

He went up on money street

Wavin' and poppin' to the beat

Off his wits and on his feet

He worked a coin from the cold concrete

[Chorus 1]

Movers and shakers come on

You got what it takes to make it

Movers and shakers come on

Even if you have to fake it

[Verse 2]

Where the highways meets the lights

With a red bandanna, rapid wipes

He shines glass, he cleans chrome

He'll accept what he gets thrown

This man earns 'cause its understood

Times are bad and he's making good

Down on him but he's got it beat

He's working coin from the cold concrete

[Chorus 2]

Movers and shakers come on (come on)

You got what it takes to make it

Movers and shakers come on (come on)

Even if you have to fake it

[Bridge]

When I see you down and I say

That ain't no way through

Hey!

That ain't no way through

Hey!

[Chorus 3]

Movers and shakers come on

You got what it takes to make it

Movers and shakers come on

Even if you have to fake it

[Verse 3]

Way back in some city heat

When a friend was anybody with food to eat

Was a lousy life and a leaking roof

We got up to find that truth

Make a drum from a garbage can

And allow your tongue to be a man

When the beat propels you offa your seat

We got it made in the cold concrete

[Chorus 4]

Movers and shakers come on (come on)

You got what it takes to make it

Movers and shakers come on (come on)

Even if you have to fake it

Movers and shakers come on

You got what it takes to make it

Movers and shakers come on

Even if you have to fake it

Come on!
