I used to think that I was stuck
But then I changed, changed, changed, changed my luck
I said I'm movin' on up, I'm movin' on up
I'm movin' on up, I'm movin' on up, yeah

Movin' on up, made it from the gutter
Don't start it, I know how a brother gonna do it
Filling my cup, distant Tennessee southern
With the gravy and the butter getting to it
Come from little to nothing and now I made it to something
I got a skill so you know I gotta use it back in the sticks
Thinking how I'm gonna get rich
Busy making this trap music
Hot damn, cooking with the pots and the pans
Back when I used to sell grams
My man taught me if I come up with a plan
And I hustle with my hands one day I'll be movin' on up

I used to think that I was stuck
But then I changed, changed, changed, changed my luck
I said I'm movin' on up, I'm movin' on up
I'm movin' on up, I'm movin' on up, yeah

Movin' on up, made it from the broken glass
To throwing cash, swinging on the dancefloor
Changed my look, yeah it look sacrifice
To rap this nice and do it on a damn tour
Now we going state to state to take my place among the great
So what more could I ask for
Keep it going city to city, I put my name on her titties
I'm gonna hit it from the back till it back sore
Gotta like slow down, what you gonna do now
When I come up in your town straight business
Yeah I got taught it ain't a crime if you're never caught
So believe that I'm leaving no witness, movin' on up

I used to think that I was stuck
But then I changed, changed, changed, changed my luck
I said I'm movin' on up, I'm movin' on up
I'm movin' on up, I'm movin' on up, yeah

Movin' on up, made it from bottom
If you got a problem take it to the streets, let's solve it
Got 'em like what, run your mouth see what I'm about
You can get your ass kicked if you talk shit
Made it through the mud, made it through the tears, sweat, blood
Made it when nobody ever said I could
I was clocking in at five, I was getting home at ten
Made a promise to myself, never do that shit again
It's a whole down, look at me now
Back in the 'Ville I'm the talk of the town
Never had much but I made a vow
I'ma play the beat loud, going proud 'cause I'm movin' on up

Yeah we living the hard life now baby
Go on, watch me
Keep up if you can

I used to think that I was stuck
But then I changed, changed, changed, changed my luck
I said I'm movin' on up, I'm movin' on up
I'm movin' on up, I'm movin' on up, yeah

Movin' on up
