The Memo (Move Me) - Substantial

When you were inspired to do what it is that you do

You ever wonder about who you’re actually inspiring?

Not impressed by your salary or your material

Not impressed by your quest to be imperial

Not impressed by your monetary ranking of women based on the physical

When you’ve owed them everything since the umbilical (Move Me!)

Give a damn about your movies, your sports drink or your fast car

All that comes with being a rap star

Can I ask y’all one simple question?

Really see… What’s that have to do with your ability?

(Move Me!)

Take me places I’ve never been or knew I wanted to go

Share things I’m not even sure I wanted to know

Yo, you can’t be silent you were blessed with a voice

Make me feel it like I never had a choice (Move Me!)

Spit something (Move Me!)

Sing something (Move Me!)

Grab your instrument and play something that moves me!

Write something (Move Me!)

Recite something (Move Me!)

Be the dream, and live a life that moves me!

Instead of coasting through it

Take life by the horns like you’re suppose to do it

You know it’s stupid to think there’s no influence

In thought provoking music and that’s why you don’t…(Move Me!)

Far from impressed with y’all letting the lead fly

In hoods from Landover to Bedstuy

How ‘bout you take that and point it at the ones that rape our family

Instead of adding on to the insanity (Move Me!)

Before I move you, Out of my iPod

My God they’re soft why do they rhyme hard

And they think that’s real, that I find odd

Get that trash shit out of my yard (Move Me!)

Not impressed by crooks

Nor am I impressed by MC’s who rhymes sound like already published books

Who cares if they’re revolutionary step your game up

Positive or not I don’t clap for lame stuff (Move Me!)

What’s so revolutionary ‘bout bussing a gun

If they own the company that it came from

You’d probably pop one of your own ‘fore you’d pop a cop

Yo the nonsense you chat about gotta stop (Move Me!)

I ain’t perfect but I work with what I have and what I know

And the light my mama blessed me with’s the reason that I glow

I use it against the dark and to humble any foe

Only reason that I flow… Is to move you!

I’ve been moved to, it soothes the soul

Now I look deeper inside when I choose my goals

When you’re finally on the right path you will know

This is me, I didn’t choose the role

Do I move you?

I pray I do and my words are inspiration

For every young artist of the next generation

Know no limitations and the power of your sentences

And even when I’m old an insignificant (Move Me!)

Spit something (Move Me!)

Sing something (Move Me!)

Grab your instrument and play something that moves me!

Write something (Move Me!)

Recite something (Move Me!)

Be the dream, and live a life that moves me!

Draw something (Move Me!)

Paint something (Move Me!)

Life is a work of art and it moves me!

Do the dance (Move Me!)

Let your rhythm (Move Me!)

I choreograph steps as the track of life moves me!

Move Me!

Move Me!
