[Verse 1: Asheru]
Cla**room to boardroom
Avoid the courtroom
Black life is real
Man this is not a cartoon
Feel like a tiger in the zoo
Wish a muf**a would
Try to take from me and mine
Like a muf**a could
Wipe the rust off
Before I bust off
Bammas up they stakes
f** around get dust off
Like buffet plates
This is food for the soul
Pull up a chair
Pour yourself a cup of beer
It'll only take a couple years
For some to really get it
I keep it so robin hood
Get it from the kemetics
I go for the gold
Using formulas untold
Break from the mold
Give you a taste of my soul
The way I do it is too cold
No such thing as too old
Maybe I'm just like my father --
Too bold
And at the same time I'm never satisfied
Guess I get it from my mama--
She ain't never lied
[Chorus]
Make moves or make money
Personally I MAKE MAGIC
Ain't a damn thing funny
When the fear creeps up
Man up, keep up, and MAKE MAGIC
What you think?
I'm gon' let these n***as
Outhustle me?
Sh- n***a please I MAKE MAGIC
You know I call it insomnia
Cuz sleep is not a luxury
(MAKE MAGIC)
[Verse 2: Asheru]
7Heads to Project Nommo
Then to Guerilla Arts
We the willing are the ones
Who make the revolution start
Every step was a lesson
To prep me for the test
Use my mind power now
To make things manifest
Also known as "The Secret"
We speak it into existence
Some old African sh**--
You would know this if you listened
To that tiny little voice
That you hear on the inner
To ignore it's
The horrible mistake of most beginners
While the winners tell the story
Take the blame or the glory
And distinguish themselves
Making their own category
While the rest fill in squares
In cubicles filling chairs
Making the next man with the plan
A millionaire
That's the way of the world
Big bank take little
You'll be lucky if you can just maintain in the middle
But when you live outside of all of these parameters
You get your hustle on, ain't nothing you can't handle bruh!
[Chorus]
Make moves or make money
Personally I MAKE MAGIC
Ain't a damn thing funny
When the fear creeps up
Man up, keep up, and MAKE MAGIC
What you think?
I'm gon' let these n***as
Outhustle me?
Sh- n***a please I MAKE MAGIC
You know I call it insomnia
Cuz sleep is not a luxury
(MAKE MAGIC)
[Verse 3: Asheru]
14 years and running
Juggling two careers
Started two businesses
Stand alone among my peers
But I never play higher than
Or try to play them low
Everybody got a light to shine
So let it glow
You better know the goal in mind
If you make plans
But keep Em to yourself
Only share them with your mans
Or other like-minded folks
To really offer help
Or else you'll be trying to
Do it all by yourself
Next thing be persistent
And eliminate fear
You got power beyond measure
The reason why you're here
All it takes is a little internal investigation
Find success in the journey
Not just the destination
Last thing, ignore the critics
Haters to be specific
If they could do what you doing
They would -- so forget it
To let that God-given talent
Go to waste would be tragic
So make moves, make money
Most of all make...
[Chorus]
Make moves or make money
Personally I MAKE MAGIC
Ain't a damn thing funny
When the fear creeps up
Man up, keep up, and MAKE MAGIC
What you think?
I'm gon' let these n***as
Outhustle me?
Sh- n***a please I MAKE MAGIC
You know I call it insomnia
Cuz sleep is not a luxury
(MAKE MAGIC)
