Back in the day (as they say) there was a short expression to describe somebody who could run fast. It went like this, “Man, he can really move it.” Do they still say that? I don’t know. But I probably do once in a while. Because when something works, you keep it. Despite the so-called trends and fads.And sometimes when something doesn’t work in one place, you move it to another.
And that was the case with a song I wrote for an organization that ended up not using it. Man, what a missed opportunity for them. But, as it turned out, it’ll turn out better for your favorite Rhyme and Reason writer. Because I revamped the words and turned the song into a more general (yet, more specific) track.
If you’ve been working for a company or another individual, and you’ve had just about enough of that, this song is for you. And if you know you can (and should) do more with your gifts and ideas, this song is for you.
But if the status quo is all you wanna know, then let this song go. Because it’s only for movers and shakers and money makers. Those who start groovin’ when a mountain needs movin’.
Move It
Tired of makin’ dreams come true for everybody else
I’ve got lots of ideas in my head.
I just need to break free from these chains that hold me down
And make much more than my daily bread.
The status quo’s gotta go,
I’m gonna get better yet”
A paradigm for the time”
The light to shine is all mine.
I gotta get shakin'”ain’t no mistakin’,
Can’t be no fakin’ changes I’m makin’
And it can’t be proven while a mountain needs movin’
So, I’m gonna go move it.
Yeah, I’m gonna go move it.
Who knows? Maybe I can take it further than I thought
And make sure my friends can come along
All the way to where my once elusive dreams come true
Where ideas grow faster and get strong.
I’ll stay afloat like a boat
When I keep my eyes on the prize.
And I’ll break through deja vu.
No goin’ back on the track.
I gotta get shakin'”ain’t no mistakin’,
Can’t be no fakin’ changes I’m makin’
And it can’t be proven while a mountain needs movin’
So, I’m gonna go move it.
Yeah, I’m gonna go move it.
Move it. Move it. I’m not standin’ still here anymore.
Move it. Move it. Better than I ever did before.
