lyrics
Coda, Chuckie Campbell:
When I first started out,
I just wanted to rap --
at school beating rhythms
on those cafeteria tables
in that broken down Chevy Impala
on those crooked, winding country roads
you rapped in the mirror,
in the shower,
at the party,
and on the walk home
Verse 1, Chuckie Campbell:
I remember when the music
was nothing but a vision
when all that really mattered
was a feeling
to me, it was a culture
before it was a business
I never wanted more than
I could give it
now, we in the building
people want to listen
throw they hands up to the ceiling
brought the whole band
in a full tour van
this is how we make our living
independent, instigated
liberated thought
initiating innovative
integrative costs
I put that work in
now you haters at a loss
let me show you
how to walk that walk
this is for the people
dedicated to the cause
thinking with they head
and they heart
Chorus 1, Iesha Green:
Everybody, move your body, come together
If you feel it, like I feel it, do whatever
Move your body to the beat
everybody move your feet
put your left foot, with your right foot
come on, people
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
as long as we’re dancing
as long as we're dancing
Everybody, tell somebody
to get up and let yourself be free
One
Two
Three
Four
Bridge, Chuckie Campbell:
Yeah, I always believed this was more than just music
when our worlds come crashing down
this is what reminded us what it meant to be human
to be alive, to feel, we have a responsibility to grow
to come together, to love each other,
to be one, to be whole
Verse 2, Chuckie Campbell:
I wonder how to put it into words
tell you all the facts
even if it hurts
express my truth
while listening to yours
we’re capable of so much more
I rap for the rain
falling hard in your heart
or the girl all alone
calling out in the dark
in an alley looking up
with a needle in her arm
praying she can raise this child
or the fate of a friend
when you wipe away tears
from the face of a man
with the mind of a kid
locked for a bid
almost twenty five years
for a crime that he never
even did
Listen, this is for the people
dedicated to the cause
when music is all we got --
Dance.
Chorus 2, Iesha Green:
Everybody, move your body, come together
If you feel it, like I feel it, do whatever
Move your body to the beat
everybody move your feet
put your left foot, with your right foot
come on, people
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
as long as we’re dancing
as long as we're dancing
Everybody, tell somebody
to get up and let yourself be free
Adlib, Iesha Green:
I feel like dancing
I feel like moving
to the beat
and nothing’s going to stop me
and I feel like moving
so don’t nobody stop me
and don’t nobody move me
‘cause I feel good tonight
