When We Move (feat. Black Thought & Seun Kuti)

Bouncin', mystic, realistic And simplistic, spirits visit How we live it, it's intrinsic Kismet kissed it, it's smeared like lipstick Colorful on our souls A mouth full of gold or a drummer's roll Stories get told about us That's why things so blah without us Wherever we are, you can feel the prowess Whenever we move, yo, we turn the style up I'ma just give Black power its flowers Whether in the projects or the palace Even when the pale horse tried to gallop And stir, stir it up, we kept the balance We move in silence, we move the loudest Ancestors in my dreams, they move the wildest They prayed about us, praised and shouted Picture this country bein' brave without us A slave's nostalgia, move through the woods with vigor When we got free, the world moved with us Now they wanna change their bodies, go figure Used to call us, now they wanna be niggas We the rivers that move through the jungle, yo When we move, we make the world wonderful When we move The whole world follows in our path When we move The whole world follows in our path And who can move like this? Let me see what I can do right quick My people were made in whose likeness? Boy, fly niggas ain't never flew like this Pitch black butterfly from the other side Somebody's style was lost, it wasn't mine I'm in a small demographic Of real ones dealin' with all things classic King's fabric, linen and silk From the home of the solid gold, honey and milk The ones who built it from the mud, soil and sand A Black man, the world in the skin of his hand Pop, then I stop when I shine beyond stellar Fela, Kwame Nkrumah, Mandela Leader, truth-teller, the inkwell dweller My pen signs a New York Times best-seller When I move, y'all move in my wake B-D energy I generate How to never move weak, I demonstrate Celebratin' my peeps when I innovate For my dons and divas weighin' odds and evens To the non-believers, vagabonds and heathens Achievers, we ain't satisfied with dreamin' Long as I'm still breathin', watch how I move When we move The whole world follows in our path When we move The whole world follows in our path When we move (move) The whole world follows in our path When we move (move) The whole world follows in our path Who dey feel a pain like we do? Who dey hear our cry like we do? No one cares, no one cares But when we move (move) The whole world follows in our path When we move (move) The whole world follows in our path But when we move (move) The whole world follows in our path When we move (move) The whole world follows in our path
