Move If You Wanna
►Mims Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's get it! Ha ha
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 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 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

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
