Move On
Pigeon John Lyrics

Oh yeah, you know it's real
Acknowledgement of the authenticity and truth in the following lyrics

Fools don't eat, you know what to do
It's important to be smart and take action to improve one's situation

I do this ev-ery day
Consistency is key in working towards goals

I do this ev-ery way
Different methods or approaches may be necessary to achieve success

Oh boy, you know it's nice
A positive attitude is helpful in facing challenges

Cinnamon rice, you know it's tight
Small pleasures or comforts can make a big difference in maintaining motivation

My name is John and I'm gonna sing
Introducing himself as the singer and performer of the song

My little song, my niggas sing
Inviting listeners, particularly those who relate to his message, to join in the performance

All my hard knuckleheads why don't you sing with my song
Specifically calling out to those who have faced or are facing struggles to join in solidarity

Ya gotta say
An instruction or suggestion to participate in the performance

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait (wait)
Creating a pause to emphasize the following lines

I'm movin' on impressin', and to fill my fate
Working towards becoming successful and fulfilling one's purpose or destiny

Switchin' the plate, tryin' to make things accumulate
Changing one's approach or strategy to progress or achieve greater success

Sittin' on papes, about 38, take a break
Possibly referring to having accumulated wealth or resources, but still taking time to rest

I'ma speak to my seven riddles
Using metaphorical language to express a complex situation or problem

Because I can't figure it out
Expressing difficulty in comprehending or resolving the problem

I need a sixty second solution Absent of doubt
Desiring a quick and certain solution to address the problem

Reading 0.00 in my savings account
Acknowledging financial struggles or a lack of resources

Sewing seeds of success and can't anticipate drought
Investing in one's future success, without knowing whether there will be hardships or setbacks

Ayo I gotta think bigger for where I'm actually at
Recognizing the need to think beyond one's current situation to reach greater success

My mind state's my rate of keeping it on track
Acknowledging that one's attitude or mindset can determine their level of success or progress

My destiny's in my hands can't look back
Believing in one's ability to control their own fate or future

Just learn from mistakes and make the greenbacks
Using past failures or errors as lessons to improve and earn more money

Can you conceive a curse
Rhetorical question about the possibility of a negative outcome or misfortune

Where your best becomes your worst?
Expressing a fear or concern that one's efforts may lead to failure or worsened situation

You best to stay alert because it happens and it hurts
Advising to remain vigilant against negative outcomes or the possibility of failure

That's why Slurp puts in work for the Paramount jerks
Referencing a specific crew or group of people who work hard to succeed

And with my five T-Shirts Sunday mornings at church
Possibly implying a humble or modest lifestyle despite success achieved

Move on
Refrain or chorus to encourage listeners to continue moving forward towards success

She pierced her lip
Beginning of a narrative or personal story

Started to strip
Continuation of the story, suggesting a change in lifestyle or behavior

Lost ten pounds and it made me sick
Reaction to a perceived negative change in someone he cared for

Ayo I loved her to death but death had its grips
Expressing loss or grief over the situation and inability to change it

Tightly clenched on her life and I flipped
Frustration or anger at the circumstances or fate that led to the person's situation

I didn't understand why she still ran
Confusion about the person's behavior or response to help or support

From all the love embracing, gracing God's plans
Believing that love and faith in a higher power could have helped the person

For her life, I wanted the best
Expressing a desire to help or improve the person's situation

To be my wife, I wanted a "Yes"
Adding a personal and emotional aspect to the story

But you're a lady of integrity, idle man
Respecting the person's choices and implying personal growth or reflection

See all I need is my Ferrari
Possible exaggeration or humorous remark about material success

And a little money they can never "Sorry"
Belief in the power of wealth or financial security to overcome challenges or obstacles

But I don't care if I'm broke as long as we can joke
Prioritizing meaningful relationships and experiences over material possessions or wealth

Drinkin' some Coke in CookBook's garage see
Describing a simple and enjoyable activity with friends

What's gonna last?
A philosophical or existential question about the meaning or purpose of life

Brothers we gotta think fast
Addressing a community or group and urging for quick action or change

As we watch time as it passes
Noting the passage of time and the need to take advantage of it

Look at the masses
Acknowledging the larger society and its challenges or issues

See we just sheep tryin' to feed as we bleed slow like molasses
Metaphorical language to express the struggle to survive or thrive in a difficult environment

Ahh, put your hands up
Encouraging physical participation or affirmation from listeners

Ahh, you know how we do it over here
Expressing reference or reverence for a particular culture or community

Ahh, you know how we do it last year
Referencing a shared or past experience or tradition

Ahh, you know how we do it barbecue
Possible reference to a specific social gathering or event

Ahh, you know how we bring
Further emphasizing a shared cultural or communal experience or identity

I find an easy way
Acknowledging a tendency to seek out the simplest or easiest solution

Sooner or later work hard
Recognizing the need to work hard to achieve success, regardless of shortcuts or easy fixes

I assume percentages don't apply to those of God
Suggesting a fatalistic or deterministic belief that one's success is predetermined or out of their control

Feel like foreman of the job still I feel I'm being robbed
Feeling responsible or in charge of the situation, but also feeling limited or constrained by external factors

Cause to me I'm Michael Jordan on the squad playing against Rod, ? and Duane
Using a popular sports metaphor to describe a situation where one feels exceptional or superior compared to others

Got no shame, wait for fame
Being unashamedly ambitious and pursuing recognition or success

I see my destination and through sleet, snow and rain
Visualizing or having a clear goal despite obstacles and difficulties

I'ma maintain
Committing to maintaining effort and focus towards the goal

Still remain on chain gang
Acknowledging the reality of constraints or limitations in the pursuit of success

Tryin' to stay sane
Implying the mental or emotional toll of striving for success

Earning minimum gain
Acknowledging the financial struggles or lack of reward for the effort put in

I wanna tour with Kenny G and make some hits
Expressing a specific or personal goal or aspiration

And blow the money on some fresh new kicks
Suggesting a desire for material possessions or reward for success

I also wanna live alone
Implying a need for personal space or privacy

And paint myself black
Suggesting a desire for personal transformation or self-expression

And hang where the actors act
Desiring a particular social or cultural community or scene

Move on [echo]
Final refrain to encourage listeners to continue moving forward and striving for success
