I know you like, wonderin' right now like, "What the hell is this?", right?
Ha ha ha ha
I guess you 'bout to see right now
Move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna
Move, move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna
Move, move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wannaMove, move if you wanna, move, move if you wanna move
Move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna
Move, move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna
Move, move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna
Move, move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna move
I don't understand how I can have so many haters
Knowing I'm their father like my name is Darth Vader
I can get you hemmed up while I'm being tailored
Then I slide off to the side like a fader
Homey I'm the president, governor and mayor
I control everything like a dictator
Get you biz-marked up, turn you into vapors
If you got a problem get you swallowed like a chaser
Model on my arm, no homey I don't have to pay her
All I have to do is tell her where I want to take her
Catch us out in Italy, then we in Jamaica
Caught up in the rapture like Anita Baker
When I roll up to you niggas like a skater
Move if you wanna when you see that red laser
No matter how you move bet that infrared'll chase ya
Then I keep it movin', homey see you later, Mims!
Move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna
Move, move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna
Move, move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna
Move, move if you wanna, move, move if you wanna move
Move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna
Move, move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna
Move, move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna
Move, move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna move
I'm tryin' to keep it cool, if you wanna, you can move, if you wanna
Tryin' to have a little fun, maybe move a couple numbers
But when you movin' numbers, all the haters start to wonder
Then they talk behind your back and they breath they speakin' under
Man I'm hot like the sun, like the middle of the summer
Strike down in a flash, nigga you can call me thunder
Chicks call me Phil Drummond 'cause I give 'em different strokes
Bah, bah, bah, bah! Beat it up like a drummer
They can call it one-hit wonder, but I guess that means I'm one up
Light a match, play with fire, that just means you gon' get burned up
In the river where you turn up, 'cause they see I'm on the come-up
But it's our turn now, if you want it, take it from us
I don't need no goons by me, if you want it come and try me
We can do this broad day in the middle of the lobby
Niggas say that they the shit when they barely just a potty
When they problems turn to prol'ly and they prol'ly turns to sorry
Tell 'em!
Move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna
Move, move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna
Move, move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna
Move, move if you wanna, move, move if you wanna move
Move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna
Move, move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna
Move, move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna
Move, move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna move

Move if you wanna when you see that red laser
If you desire, you can take action as soon as you spot the red laser targeting you
No matter how you move bet that infrared'll chase ya
Regardless of your movements, rest assured that the infrared beam will pursue you

After dealing with the situation, I continue my journey, bidding you farewell, Mims!
I'm tryin' to keep it cool, if you wanna, you can move, if you wanna
I'm attempting to remain calm, and if you desire, you have the option to take action
Tryin' to have a little fun, maybe move a couple numbers
I'm aiming to enjoy myself and possibly accomplish a few achievements
But when you movin' numbers, all the haters start to wonder
However, when you achieve success, it makes the haters curious and envious
Then they talk behind your back and they breath they speakin' under
Subsequently, they engage in whispering conversations, speaking ill of you in secret
Man I'm hot like the sun, like the middle of the summer
I am extremely popular and in-demand, just like the scorching summer sun
Strike down in a flash, nigga you can call me thunder
I can swiftly and powerfully bring down my opponents, earning the nickname 'thunder'
Chicks call me Phil Drummond 'cause I give 'em different strokes
Women refer to me as Phil Drummond, as I provide them with various unique experiences
Bah, bah, bah, bah! Beat it up like a drummer
Boom, boom, boom, boom! I enthusiastically and energetically engage in sexual activity
They can call it one-hit wonder, but I guess that means I'm one up
While some may label me as a one-hit wonder, that actually indicates I have achieved a degree of success
Light a match, play with fire, that just means you gon' get burned up
If you choose to engage with danger or take risks, you should be prepared for the consequences
In the river where you turn up, 'cause they see I'm on the come-up
They become excited and enthusiastic because they recognize that I am gradually ascending in status
But it's our turn now, if you want it, take it from us
It is time for us to shine, and if you desire success, you must claim it from us
I don't need no goons by me, if you want it come and try me
I don't require any intimidating individuals to protect me; if you desire a challenge, feel free to confront me
We can do this broad day in the middle of the lobby
We can engage in a conflict openly and fearlessly, even in a public space
Niggas say that they the shit when they barely just a potty
Some individuals boast about their accomplishments, but in reality, they are far from impressive
When they problems turn to prol'ly and they prol'ly turns to sorry
As their difficulties become more likely, their chances of success diminish, leading to regret
Move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna
If you wish, you have the freedom to take action
Move, move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna
Move, move if it appeals to you, if you desire, if it entices you
Move, move if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna
Move, move if it resonates with you, if you want to, if it captures your interest
Move, move if you wanna, move, move if you wanna move
Move, move if it suits your desires, go ahead and make the choice to move
