The Next Movement

The hot hot music, the hot music

I never use a cordless or stand applaudless
Word up, we got the hot hot music, the hot music
Word up, we got the hot hot music, the hot music
Your head is throbbin' and I ain't said shit yet
This directed to whoever in listening range
You are now in tune to the sounds of the legendary foundation

Unless you dealin' with the next movement
Hey you listeners, stop what you're doin' and
Testin', yo, you go
The P-Phi-D we be the monument
Set it in motion, it's the next movement
I'm the finalist, shinin' like a rugged amethyst
Check it out, yea yea yea
Set it in motion, it's the next movement
The Dalai Lama of the mic, the Prime Minister thought
Check it out, yea yea
Set it in motion, it's the next movement
A lot of rappers never heard of this or know half the time it is
You theatrical as a Broadway play, this ain't rent
The hot hot music, the hot music
You listeners, stop what you're doin' and
The ghetto is red hot, we steppin' on flames
The hot hot music, the hot music
Listen close to my poetry, I examine this

The Black Thought, ill syllablist, out the Fifth
Whether they skywriting your name, or you anonymous

Set it in motion, it's the next movement

Set it in motion, it's the next movement
And at your music conference, I'm the panelist
Set it in motion, it's the next movement
The hot hot music, the hot music

That's what I usually disturb you with
Yo the whole state of things in the world 'bout to change
One hundred percent, straight out the Basement
Spreading this across a planet on some next shit
Like an analyst, to see if you can handle this
This heavyweight rap shit I'm about to lift

And yes y'all
You, got the groove, emcees, freeze, stand still, nobody move
How many people feelin' this love music? C'mon
Hey you listeners, stop what you're doin' and
The Roots royal highnesses through your monitors
Check it out, yea yea
The hot hot music, the hot music
The Roots crew, the next movement, c'mon
Yo, it's inflation on the price for fame
Yo, we got the hot hot music, the hot music
You doubt the Illa-Fifth, what could you accomplish?
You listeners, stop what you're doin' and
The hot hot music, the hot music

That's how we usually start, once again it's the thought
Black rain fallin' from the sky look strange
The hot hot music, the hot music
The hot hot music, the hot music
I plug in the mic, draw like a gunfight
You need to buy a CD and stop rewindin' this
Like, a phylum lift up it's seed to sunlight
Word up, the formation of words to fit
The hot hot music, the hot music
Hey you listeners, stop what you're doin' and
And it was all the same but then the antidote came
Yo, you go

The hot hot music, the hot music
You be speechless, with stinging sinuses
The hot music
Sippin' chlorophyll out of ill silver goblets

You listeners, stop what you're doin' and
The hot hot music, the hot music
The hot hot music, the hot music
I tilt my crown, then blow down a diamond kiss
Yo, one, two, one, two one, two
Check it out, yea yea
There ain't no way to cut this tap, you got ta get wet
I'm like a faucet, monopoly's the object
I live my life nice but I'm not too bent
Yeah, you go
Check it out
Check it out, yea yea
