Bandcamp Exclusive -- A statement of assertion, the bouncy, anthemic single "Make Your Move" features lines paying tribute to some of Sxvxnt's favorite emcees and hip hop entities, ranging from the likes of A Tribe Called Quest, Mos Def and Black Thought to Jay-Z, Redman and Ludacris, all the while lacing some familiar components of the "Golden Era" with a modern flair. Another personal favorite that, for a litany of reasons, originally had "cutting room floor" written all over it. It's been reworked and will be released in an entirely different iteration on a future project. But this version is Genesis. And now, it's yours.
lyrics
Can I kick it?! (Yes you can!)
Can I kick it?! (Yes you can!)
Can I kick it?! (Yes you can!)
Well, let me kick a little something for my mellow my man (Stanstro!)
I am
Ready, ready for action
Flow is steady and clear like you read me in caption; I
Crash every gathering with an entrance so grand, kid
The frame may be lacking, but the presence is massive (Bastards!)
Never frail, this rapper will sever scales
This figure I'm given sure assisted your moms well
(Aw hell... F'real?)
Don't believe me? Just ask ma
And while you're at it, tell her I fell in love with her hand jobs
(Damn God, you're killing 'em!)
Nah, black just drilling 'em
And filling 'em with something so ill
They'll need a penicillin drip from an IV
And a trip to the lobby
And Doc with the news saying they might not survive me
We go hard and we grind all day
Shine while y'all parlay
That's how we do
Thought you knew
Better make your move (Better make your move!)
We go hard and we grind all day
Shine while y'all parlay
That's how we do
Thought you knew
Better make your move (Better make your move!)
Yes yes y'all
And you don't stop
The beat knocks under bars by your boy Sxvxnt
And RAREBREED'S steady bringing the sure shot
And we're sure to rock
While you're sure drop (Talk to 'em)
I suppose you should know I was spawned in the Chi
Now reside in the southwest where I'm ready to thrive
And these bars? No one tests unless they're *Ready To Die*
Send a shout to *Wallace*
The torch is mine (shxt is mine)
Kick off your shoes and jump off the jock
Cracking God's top 5, it's your boy Sxvxnt
I splintered 6 through 10 when "The Lyricist" dropped
Said Mr. Bridges: "I'm coming for that number spot!"
On the number 1 spot, we've called a blitz
Your best bet is to move in accord with this
We go hard with this
Until the dawning hits
And you don't want to trip
So you should go on and make your move
Can I kick it?! (Yes-- Yes you can!)
Can I kick it?! (Yes-- Yes you can!)
Can I kick it?! (Yes-- Yes you can!)
Well, let me kick a little something for my mellow my man
I am
Ready, ready for action
Damnit I'd better be with this keen sonic backing
I'm seeing your head nod
Seeing your feet tap
Seeing your neck bob
Proceeding to be fractured as I
Wax clean over classically stacked beats
See, it's unfeasible to keep your ass in your seats
And unbelievable that you're enamored with me
When I ain't said a single thing over half of this beat
I'm just casually cruising like a cool, calm stream
You're rabidly grooving like a Ru Paul theme
We do our thing, it's true we're a sharp team
But my flow stands alone like duly starched jeans
I be like yiggy yes y'all
Savant is on call and I rock 'til my name's in graffiti on the wall
Yiggy yes y'all
Stanstro is on call and I rock 'til my name's in graffiti on the wall
Yiggy yes y'all
Joey is on call and we rock 'til our name's in graffiti on the wall
Downtown on call and he rocks 'til his name's in graffiti on the wall
Yiggy yes y'all
RAREBREED is on call and she rocks 'til her name's in graffiti on the wall
Yiggy yes y'all
Check it we're on call
Who rocks 'til their name's in graffiti on the wall?
Yes y'all
