Power Moves lyrics

[Chorus]
It's time to make power moves and get the cheddar
And buy the real nice things that makes life better
No foolish acts, moves must be clever
I'm down for whatever
I gotta blow, son, it's now or never

[Verse 1]
I walk through the ruggedest blocks with jewels flooded with rocks
Hustlin' on hot corners that be smothered with cops
I must warn, my Harlem crew rolls strong
Word born, we leave mics torn
Y’all brothers slept too long, now it's on
L Corleone'll never flop, my records are forever hot
Front on me, you better not
I keep the Beretta c*cked
This goes out to my peoples uptown
Downtown, midtown, across town, and outta town
You see me flossin' often, at all the club sites
At the bars buyin' Cristals like they Bud Lights
My style is hard like strong lumber
Dime pieces get the digits, chicken heads get the wrong number

[Chorus]
It's time to make power moves and get the cheddar
And buy the real nice things that makes life better
No foolish acts, moves must be clever
I'm down for whatever
I gotta blow, son, it's now or never
[Verse 2]
Yo, I announce facts, when I get busy over bounce tracks
Droppin' lethal raps on wax so I can count stacks
I keep a heavy knot, got a spot on every block
Honeys that's very hot get slid to the Marriott
'95 was a beautiful year for L
Now I'm back and all the ladies still cheer for L
Whatever I write is gonna be tight
'Cause if makin' hits is wrong, I don't wanna be right
Nevertheless, the East is were my crew rest
We bust caps that go through vests
We only do what we do best
And that’s crippling you brittle men
Since you wanna play rough, then say hello to my little friend

[Chorus]
It's time to make power moves and get the cheddar
And buy the real nice things that makes life better
No foolish acts, moves must be clever
I'm down for whatever
I gotta blow, son, it's now or never
It's time to make power moves and get the cheddar
And buy the real nice things that makes life better
No foolish acts, moves must be clever
I'm down for whatever
I gotta blow, son, it's now or never
[Verse 3]
I like droptops when it's hot
I like Lands when it's snowy
Bank account is fat like Joey
I'm not very religious, you wouldn't call me holy
Sometimes my hair's cornrowed, sometimes it's fro-ey
Spark up the you know what
Pop the Moë-y
L stay flossin', presidential Rollie
Y'all brothers know me, I step in parties with minks and fly links
Shorties hittin' me with eyewinks as I buy drinks
And every girl I got looks like a model
If you ever see me with a chicken then she musta hit the lotto
Uptown is my home and where I roam
I stand alone, Big L Corleone got it sewn
Sellin' weight in and outta state to generate cake
The one jakes hate
Got homicide runnin' out of yellow tape
I pack toast with infrared scopes, I turn crews to dead folks
If y'all fellas is players, I'm the head coach

[Chorus]
It's time to make power moves and get the cheddar
And buy the real nice things that makes life better
No foolish acts, moves must be clever
I'm down for whatever
I gotta blow, son, it's now or never
It's time to make power moves and get the cheddar
And buy the real nice things that makes life better
No foolish acts, moves must be clever
I'm down for whatever
I gotta blow, son, it's now or never
[Outro]
Word up, son, it's time to blow
Stack that dough and create a better life for me and my fam, nah'mean?
I done seen the ghetto all my life, it's time I see something different, ha-ha
Yeah
Get the picture? The big picture
