Ladies and gentlmen, I Shall Not Be Moved
Say what you oughta
World outta order
Paid the cost, father time ain't never lost
The boss, y'all ain't heard it
I work it, uh, the senior circuit
See some quit it
They don't get it
Fire music
What my aim is
Forget what my name is
I ain't famous just to be famous
Remember Steven Lawrence
Beware
Clive Davis swarming to your art form
'Cause there's a party goin' on
Hotel, motel, I'm goin' in
Don't care what they spent
Can't prevent the event
Some run to it
Shun from it
Been through it
I still rock to it!
Shoot, I've been sued, dude
With this news fit to spit
And the beat goes on, come on y'all
Ay-yo, check this out, everybody get low
Get low, how low can you go?
How low can you go?
How low can you go?
Okay, come up, come up, come up, come up
Never bitter but better
Backed by the fact
All I got is my word
My new curse word is black
DJ Lord, yeah
Rock that shit, Chuck
Pay the test of being at your best
The curse is living at your worst
Crawling like a maggot outta they mind
Faster than a just go 45
Shit is live
High without a godamn reason why
Basketball wives ain't really wives
Birds droppin' out of the sky, that's right Andy
And they got these people Googling why
They took your cellphones away
(Uh) so you can't take a picture of my crew (ay-yo)
One more time, go low!
Everybody, go low! Everybody
Come on, go low
Let me see how low y'all can go
How low can you go?
How low can you go? (How low can you go?)
How low can you go? How low can you go?
Come on baby, you got shorts
How low can you go?
Everybody, come on up
Come up, come up, come up
Come up, come up, come up
Feel the people, heal the people
Need the people (yeah)
Heed the people (say what?)
Whilst the homeless, underfed
Stop the government, stop the feds
Ransom people, left for dead
Where's you groove? Check your heads
I shall not, not be moved
I shall not be moved
Let's fight the goddamn power, y'all
