Movers and Shakers lyrics

The boy stood in the burning slum

Better times had to come

Fate lay in the hands that clap

The muscles that move and the power that raps

He went up on money street

Waving and popping to the beat

Off his wits and on his feet

He worked a coin from the cold concrete

Movers and shakers come on

You got what it takes to make it

Movers and shakers come on

Even if you have to fake it

Where the highway meets the lights

With a red bandanna, rapid wipes

He shines glass and he cleans chrome

He'll accept what he gets thrown

This man earns 'cos it's understood

Times are bad and he's makin' good

Down on him but he's got it beat

He's working coin from the cold concrete

Movers and shakers come on

You got what it takes to make it

Movers and shakers come on

Even if you have to fake it

And when I see you down and I say

That ain't no way through, that ain't no way through

Movers and shakers come on

You got what it takes to make it

Movers and shakers come on

Even if you have to fake it

Way back in some city heat

When a friend was anybody with food to eat

It was lousy life with a leaking roof

We got up to find that truth

Make a drum from a garbage can

Allow your tongue to be a man

When the beat propels you off your seat

You got it made in the cold concrete

Movers and shakers come on

You got what it takes to make it

Movers and shakers come on

Even if you have to fake it

Movers and shakers come on

You got what it takes to make it

Movers and shakers come on

Even if you have to fake it

Come on...
