Lyrics
Intro (1K Phew)
What we doin'?
Eee
Chorus (1K Phew)
I like to move it, move it
Jumped off the porch, now I'm just coolin' (I'm just coolin', move it)
I had to chase my mood in life, when I woke up it's not Judge Judy (It's not Judge Judy)
I like to move it, move it, so please, get out the way, excuse me (I like to move it, move it)
I like to move it, move it
Jumped off the porch, now I'm just coolin'
Verse 1 (1K Phew)
Now I'm comin' in, hammer time number two
What you gon' do when the tidal wave pull up with a typhoon? (What you gon' do?)
I say a prayer on the floor like it's War Room
I was in the courtroom, you was in your room (You was in yours)
Every time the police came to my door, I just shook my head low and prayed and watched a cartoon
It's a whole lot of y'all walking 'round lookin' so crazy, I ain't even gon' laugh, I'ma talk to 'em (Whole lot of y'all)
You need to go change your life, young man (Change your life)
Man up in the kitchen with the pots and pans
Camera did it dirty, had to wash your hands
Done been so hurt that you can barely stand
Well you better not go out (Stupid)
If it's gon' go up then I don't shoot it (Don't shoot)
I got the light on me, can't lose it (I got the light)
Why would lose your life? That's foolish
Chorus (Repeat)
Interlude (1K Phew)
Yeah
"Hammer Time" boys in the buildin'
What we doin'? (Move it)
Verse 2 (Lecrae)
Say somethin' (Ayy), move it (Move)
Hop out the whip, let's do it (Let's do it)
Jump off the stage, I'm too lit
Jump back and get on the bus, I'm coolin' (Skrr)
I'm in the script, makin' sure, I don't slip while I'm fishin' outside in the pool and
I tell lil' bro, I'ma show him the ropes, so I pull out my Bible to school him (Let's go)
It's too many rappers who don't know their mission, they want my position (Move it)
Too caught up in numbers or caught up in wonderin' if I'm a Christian (Move it)
Light of the world 'til the King is back, uh
We out here smokin' that demon pack
You can tell Lucifer, "Go get his shooters" and look for a city where Jesus at
Chorus (Repeat)
Outro (1K Phew)
And I'm comin' (Move it)
(Move it)

Meaning & Inspiration
"Move" pairs a hook about staying in motion and refusing to be boxed in with verses describing pressure, danger, and public scrutiny met with faith rather than retaliation. The chorus keeps its message simple, describing a decision to keep moving forward instead of staying stuck, framed as clearing a path rather than avoiding responsibility. The first verse layers in specific pressures, police encounters, courtroom appearances, and public criticism, responding to each with prayer, comparing that private response to the posture shown in a well-known film about intercession. A second verse shifts from pressure to identity, describing an effort to mentor someone younger by teaching from the Bible rather than only warning against danger, and naming a refusal to be pulled into violence as a deliberate choice rather than fear. Later lines invoke direct spiritual opposition, naming the devil and describing a search for where Jesus is present in the city, framing the song's constant motion as a spiritual stance as much as a physical one. Structurally the song alternates between two artists' verses around a shared hook, letting personal testimony and confrontation with evil coexist within an energetic hip-hop framework.
