Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, you know seh, no matter wha gwaan
Yo, just hold firm you know
Keep movin’, hold your head up, you know, ay yo

Wake up in di morning, say a lickle thing to God
I'm bless me, there's food inna mi go bag
Remembering di days, when time went hard
Mi belly hungry and mi couldn't find no regular job

Feel like mi can't move, mi trap in a cage
Still searching for di words to put pon di page
Still dreaming 'bout di day, where mi step on di stage
But nutten nuh come, that's when mi bredda seh

You haffi keep movin'
Sing on, sing on, yeah, aigh
Nuh matter what's goin' on
You know seh, you haffi chant on, yeah, aigh

You haffi keep movin'
Sing on, sing on, sing on, yeah, aigh
It's just another broken hearted tune
Fi all di lonely world
When mi seh

Emily, she could a tell nuf sad story
Har man abuse har and go beat her up badly
Just a hold the rod, stick rudely
Har hope fadin' quick of startin' a family

One day she decide, she can't take it no more
She ball out, cry, go dung on di floor
That's when she take the razor till her phone a ring
Somebody on the other line a tell har seh

You haffi keep movin'
Sing on, be strong, be strong, yeah, aigh
So no matter what's goin' on
You know seh, you haffi chant on, yeah, aigh

You haffi keep movin'
Sing on, sing on, hold on, yeah, aigh
Just another broken hearted tune, fi all di lonely world

Now di family want know wha gwaan
And di doctor say, "I'm sorry

You haffi keep movin'
Sing on, sing on, hold on, sing on, sing on, yeah

Overall Meaning

The song Movin' On by Collie Buddz is a motivational and inspiring song about persevering through tough times. The lyrics describe various circumstances where individuals face adversity but are reminded to keep moving forward. The song opens with the artist waking up and thanking God for another day, acknowledging his blessings for having food in his bag. He reflects on difficult times when he was hungry and unemployed, feeling trapped, and searching for words to put to paper. His dream of performing seems unattainable until his brother reminds him to "keep movin'". The chorus reinforces this idea, emphasizing the need to sing, hold on, be strong, and keep moving forward, no matter what's going on. The second verse illustrates more examples of people facing hardship. Emily is in an abusive relationship and is losing hope for her dream of starting a family. When she hits her low point, someone reminds her to keep moving. Timothy is an ambulance driver, called to the scene of an accident where a young man has died. Even in this tragic situation, the message is to keep moving forward.


Overall, the song reminds listeners that life can be difficult, and we all may have moments where we feel like giving up. However, it is important to keep moving forward, set our sights on our dreams, and find ways to push through challenges. The chorus serves as a simple reminder to stay positive and keep going, no matter what.
