Lyrics
0:02The boy stood in the burning slum
0:06Better times had to come
0:09Fate lay in the hands that clap
0:12The muscles that move and the power that raps
0:16He went up on money street
0:19Waving an popping to the beat
0:22Off his wits an on his feet
0:25He worked a coin from the cold concrete
0:32Movers and shakers come on
0:35You got what it takes to make it
0:39Movers an shakers come on
0:42Even if you have to fake it
0:45Where the highway meets the lights
0:48With a red bandanna rapid wipes
0:52He shines glass and he cleans chrome
0:55He'll accept what he gets thrown
0:58This man earns 'cause it's understood
1:01Because times are bad and
1:03He's makin' good
1:05Down on him but he's got it beat
1:08He's working coin from the cold concrete
1:14Movers and shakers come on
1:18You got what it takes to make it
1:21Movers and shakers come on
1:24Even if you have to fake it
1:28When I see you down and I say
1:31That ain't no way through
1:38That ain't no way through
1:44Movers and shakers come on
1:47You got what it takes to make it
1:50Movers and shakers come on
1:54Even if you have to fake it
1:57Way back in some city he is the
2:00When a friend was anybody with food to eat
2:03Was a lousy life at leaking roof
2:07We got up to find that truth
2:10Make a drum from a garbage can
2:13Allow your tongue to be a man
2:17When the beat propels you off your seat
2:20You got it made in the cold concrete
2:26Movers and shakers come on come on
2:30You got what it takes to make it
2:33Movers and shakers come on come on
2:36Even if you have to fake it
2:40Movers and shakers come on
2:43You got what it takes to make it
2:46Movers and shakers come on
2:49Even if you have to fake it come on
The boy stood in the burning slum Better times had to come Fate lay in the hands that clap The muscles that move and the power that raps He went up on money street Waving an popping to the beat Off his wits an on his feet He worked a coin from the cold concrete Movers and shakers come on You got what it takes to make it Movers an shakers come on Even if you have to fake it Where the highway meets the lights With a red bandanna rapid wipes He shines glass and he cleans chrome He'll accept what he gets thrown This man earns 'cause it's understood Because times are bad and He's makin' good Down on him but he's got it beat He's working coin from the cold concrete 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 When I see you down and I say That ain't no way through That ain't no way through 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 Way back in some city he is the When a friend was anybody with food to eat Was a lousy life at leaking roof We got up to find that truth Make a drum from a garbage can Allow your tongue to be a man When the beat propels you off your seat You got it made in the cold concrete 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
