| Verse one: | |
| Standing by the speaker, suddenly i had this | |
| Fever, was it me or either summer madness | |
| Cuz i just can't stand around | |
| So i get closer and the closer i get, the better it sound | |
| My mind starts to activate, rhymes collaborate | |
| Cuz when i heard the beat, i just had to make | |
| Something from the top of my head | |
| So i fell into the groove of the wax and i said | |
| How could i move the crowd | |
| First of all, ain't no mistakes allowed | |
| Here's the instruction, put it together | |
| It simple ain't it but quite clever | |
| Some of you been trying to write rhymes for years | |
| But weak ideas irritate my ears | |
| Is this the best that you can make? | |
| Cuz if not and you got more, i'll wait | |
| But don't make me wait too long coz i'm a move on | |
| The dancefloor when they put something smooth on | |
| So turn up the bass, it's better when it's loud | |
| Cuz i like to move the crowd | |
| Move the crowd... | |
| Verse two: | |
| It gets stronger everytime i hold a | |
| Microphone, check the tone to get started | |
| The line for the microphone is departed | |
| So leave it up to me, my dj is mixing | |
| Everyone is moving or eager to listen | |
| Your hands in the air, your mouth, shut! | |
| Cuz i'm on the mic and eric b is on the cut | |
| For those that know me, indeed i like to flow | |
| Especially when the music's going slow | |
| It gives me a chance to let everybody know | |
| It's time to bust out the rakim show | |
| I'm the intelligent wise on the mic i will rise | |
| Right in front of your eyes cuz i am a surprise | |
| So i'ma let my knowledge be born to a perfection | |
| All praise due to allah and that's a blessing | |
| Wit knowledge of self, there's nothing i can't solve | |
| At 360 degrees, i revolve | |
| This is actual fact, it's not an act, it's been proven, | |
| Indeed and i proceed to make the crowd keep moving | |
| Move the crowd... |
