You feel that bass hit your chest?
That ain't music, that's a warning
The kind your body understands before your mind catches up
Move
Shit in the room and the temperature change right there
Every head turn slower like they already knew I'd appear
Got the West Coast in my walk and the blues inside my spine (Yeah)
Piano bleeding dark and warm, every note perfectly mine
We don't move for nothing, every step got a reason behind it
Got the harp playing arpeggios and the saxophone beside it
Built this swagger from the bottom of
A city that said never (Said never)
Now the violins are screaming and the bassline lives forever
Diamonds ain't the flex, the flex is how I carry what I earned
How I walk through every room with
All the lessons that I learned, yeah
Jazz running through my bloodstream at a hundred miles per hour
This is what surviving looks like when it finally finds its power
I move like money, quiet, purposeful, and clean
The most dangerous thing in any room you've never seen
Got the rules wrapped around my shoulder
Like a coat of liquid gold (Liquid gold)
And the story let 'em carry in a century's old
They built the walls, we built the tunnels underneath
They wrote the rules, we wrote the music in the streets
Every note I play a documentation, every chord a deed (Every chord)
To a kingdom that they told us we could never guarantee
The harp is laying down a bruise so deep it splits the floor
The brass is punching through the ceiling asking what we here for
We here for everything, for every name
They tried to erase (Tried to erase)
We move like royalty because we earned the right to take this place
You can feel it in the ghetto, something ancient, something free
You can feel it in the bassline, running
All the way through me (All the way, yeah)
When the moonlight's here like this, ain't nothing else to say
Just surrender every burden, baby, move it all away
Sodom on, move like money
Slow and deliberate, move like money
Sodom on, move like money
Every step a statement, every breath a testament to lasting
Sodom on, move like money
Ooh, the piano got my body, the harp already got my soul
Sodom on, move like money
Sodom on, move like money
I can't, I can't (I can't), I can't (I can't), I can't hold on
All three, unison then three-part split
Move like money, move like music
Move like we were born to shine (Born to shine)
Every beat we built from nothing, every groove was by design
Move like money, kings and queens gone free (Gone free)
Gone free (Gone free), yeah, yeah
Got the West Coast (Got the West Coast) and the jazz (And the jazz)
Running wild and running free
Baby, move (Move), move (Move), move
Watch me walk in like I'm who the road is set for me
Like the piano and the harp conspired deliberately
Every chord they play is something my
Grandmother hummed at dawn (Hummed at dawn)
Every note they hit is every woman who kept moving on (Moving on)
I carry them all mental like a river carries rain (Carries rain)
Every step I take is every step they took through all the pain (Yeah)
So when I move it ain't just me that's moving, it's a legacy
It's the money in the women who refused to let it be
A saxophone singing seed, something warm against my ear
Something low and dangerous and crystal clear
The harp is playing arpeggios (Arpeggios)
That lift me off the ground (Off the ground)
I am every woman who was told she was too much, too loud, too proud
Move like money (Woo), move like money (Woo)
Sodom on, move like money (Hey)
Said she's every woman, brother, I know that weight
When your whole bloodline is riding on how well you navigate
When the groove is in your DNA before you learn to walk (Oh)
When the music is your mother tongue before you learn to talk (Oh)
We been moving to these rhythms since
Before they named the beat (Named the beat)
West Coast soul been in our bodies
Since the jazz left the street (Ooh)
Woo, oh, talk it tight, uh, ah
So when the piano hits that dark chord and the bassline flow
Ain't nothing in this universe left stopping us, ooh
