Standing by the speaker, suddenly I had this
Fever, was it me or either summer madness
'Cause I just can't stand around
So I get closer and the closer I get, the better it soundMy mind starts to activate, rhymes collaborate
'Cause 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 saidHow 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 cleverSome of you been trying to write rhymes for years
But weak ideas irritate my ears
Is this the best that you can make?
'Cause if not and you got more, I'll waitBut don't make me wait too long 'cause I'm a move on
The dance floor when they put something smooth on
So turn up the bass, it's better when it's loud
'Cause I like to move the crowdMove the crowd, move the crowd
Move the crowd, move the crowd
Move the crowd, move the crowd
Move the crowd, move the crowdRock, rock, rock
Rock, rock, rock
Rock, rock, rockImagine me with the heat that's made by solar
It gets stronger every time I hold a
Microphone, check the tone to get started
The line for the microphone is departedSo leave it up to me, my DJ is mixing
Everyone is moving or eager to listen
Your hands in the air, your mouth, shut
'Cause I'm on the mic and Eric B is on the cutFor 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 showI'm the intelligent wise on the mic I will rise
Right in front of your eyes 'cause I am a surprise
So I'ma let my knowledge be born to a perfection
All praise due to Allah and that's a blessingWith 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 movingMove the crowd, move the crowd
Move the crowd, move the crowd
Move the crowd, move the crowd
Move the crowd, move the crowdMove the crowd, move the crowd
Move the crowd
