Lyrics
0:21Standing by the speaker, suddenly I had this
0:24Fever, was it me or either summer madness
0:27Cause I just can't stand around
0:29So I get closer and the closer I get, the better it sound
0:32My mind starts to activate, rhymes collaborate
0:35Cause when I heard the beat, I just had to make
0:38Something from the top of my head
0:39So I fell into the groove of the wax and I said
0:42How could I move the crowd
0:44First of all, ain't no mistakes allowed
0:47Here's the instruction, put it together
0:50It simple ain't it but quite clever
0:53Some of you been trying to write rhymes for years
0:55But weak ideas irritate my ears
0:58Is this the best that you can make?
1:00Cause if not and you got more, I'll wait
1:03But don't make me wait too long coz I'm a move on
1:06The dancefloor when they put something smooth on
1:09So turn up the bass, it's better when it's loud
1:12Cause I like to move the crowd
1:16Move the crowd...
1:56Imagine me wit the heat that's made by solar,
1:59It gets stronger everytime I hold a
2:01Microphone, check the tone to get started
2:04The line for the microphone is departed
2:07So leave it up to me, my dj is mixing
2:09Everyone is moving or eager to listen
2:12Your hands in the air, your mouth, shut!
2:15Cause I'm on the mic and eric b is on the cut
2:17For those that know me, indeed I like to flow
2:20Especially when the music's going slow
2:22It gives me a chance to let everybody know
2:25It's time to bust out the rakim show
2:28I'm the intelligent wise on the mic I will rise
2:30Right in front of your eyes 'cause I am a surprise
2:33So i'ma let my knowledge be born to a perfection
2:36All praise due to allah and that's a blessing
2:38Wit knowledge of self, there's nothing I can't solve
2:41At 360 degrees, I revolve
2:44This is actual fact, it's not an act, it's been proven,
2:46Indeed and I proceed to make the crowd keep moving
2:50Move the crowd...
