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 sound      My 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 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?   'Cause if not and you got more, I'll wait      But 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 crowd      Move the crowd, move the crowd   Move the crowd, move the crowd   Move the crowd, move the crowd   Move the crowd, move the crowd      Rock, rock, rock   Rock, rock, rock   Rock, rock, rock      Imagine 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 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   'Cause 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 '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 blessing      With 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, move the crowd   Move the crowd, move the crowd   Move the crowd, move the crowd   Move the crowd, move the crowd      Move the crowd, move the crowd   Move the crowd
