Move The Crowd

Eric B. & Rakim

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:




Imagine me wit the heat that's made by solar,



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...
