Yo Mya
I know you got a man and all
But uh I been watchin' y'all
And if he ain't treatin' you right
'bout time you move on
Now I'm not trying to get in between yall two,
But you gonna move, move this way
I'm so confused
I don't know what to do (gonna be aiight, gonna be aiight)
But I gotta be a woman
I gotta get over you (yeah aiight, yeah aiight)

I think I saw your baby's mother
Creeping at your back door (Yeah-ee Yeah-ee)
And your lying ass been cheatin'
And I can't take it no more oh oh
I'm movin on (move on)

On
(movin' on)(and move my way)
On
(movin' on-on) (move on)
Oh-on

On
(movin' on)(and move my way)
On
(movin' on-on) (move on)
Oh-on
I'll be movin' on (and move my way, say what say what)

Whose drawers are these
You know I wear a size four (huh what, say what)
And if you say that you've been faithful
Who was at your back door

You ain't got no money (it don't matter about all that, I got some)
I should've left you long ago (Yea-ee Yea-ee Yea-ee)
And you stroke ain't strokin' no more
So I've been sleepin' all alone
(she shouldn't have to sleep by herself you know what I sayin')
If you know what I mean
I'm movin' on (move on)

On
(movin' on)(and move my way)
On
(movin' on-on) (move on)
Oh-on

On
(movin' on)(and move my way)
On
(movin' on-on) (move on)
Oh-on
I'll be movin' on (and move my way, say what say what)

Well now I'm a No Limit Soldier
Known to keep it rowdy
You know one's that make you say uhh
And Bout It, Bout It
Now one to the two
Two to the three
I ain't sayin' leave him
But you need to like roll wit me
Cause I can see you ain't happy here
When I look in your eye
You a bird
You gotta spread your wings
So now it's time to fly
You ain't never gotta trip
Or remind me
I'm trying to live ghetto fab
Like takin' baths
In bottles of Don P
But I ain't perfect
Just imagine me with no flaws
Like a parking lot
Wit no cars
Cell block
Wit no bars
World wit no wars
L.A.wit no stars
Check this out
I can heal your broken heart
So don't be so fast
To react so quick
Or get all mad
And try to scratch up my 6
Now you know I get paid
For bustin' all kind of tight verses
See I need a girl
That I can see on top
Like Silkk and Mya
Or vice versa

On
(movin' on)(and move my way)
On




(movin' on-on) (move on)
Oh-on

Overall Meaning

"Moving On" is a collaborative song between Mya and Silkk The Shocker, which was released in 1998. The song is about a woman who has reached her breaking point with her partner and is ready to move on from the relationship. Silkk The Shocka, who serves as the male voice throughout the song, acknowledges that Mya has a man but tells her that if he's not treating her right, then it's time to move on. He seems to be coaxing Mya to consider his proposal as he sees her relationship as unhealthy.


Mya adds her perspective to the song, talking about the lack of trust in her relationship. Her partner's infidelity has left her feeling disrespected and unhappy. She asserts her independence by stating that she intends to move on and start afresh. Through the lyrics of the song, the duo tries to empower women who remain in toxic relationships and convince them that they deserve better. The catchy chorus of the song "On, moving on and move my way" encourages women who are ready to break free from unhealthy relationships to do so.
