Exclusive

New Halle

Let's go

[Verse: Halle, *Missy Elliott*]

Days keep rollin' by (*Woo*)

Just tryna keep your head uplifted to the sky

And when you get down, just get dance around like you're a child (*Woo*)

I'll never let you get too low, oh (*Ooh, woo*)

[Pre-Chorus: Halle, *Missy Elliott*]

If you could be a butterfly

And I know God will take you far

Life can never break your soul (*Let's go*)

[Chorus: Halle, *Missy Elliott*]

Every day the sun don't shine, but oh

Keep it movin', keep it movin'

It's up to you what way you chose to go

Keep it movin', keep it movin'

Nothing's gonna take you down, oh

Just let it go (Go)

Life can never break your soul (*Ah, break it down*)

[Post-Chorus: Halle, *Missy Elliott*]

Keep on movin'

Don't stop, like the hands of time (*Let it rock*)

[Bridge: Halle]

Tryin' (Tryin'), prayin' (Prayin')

Pushin' (Pushin'), Amen (Amen)

Smilin' (Smilin'), takin' it all in

Tryin', prayin'

Pushin', Amеn

Smilin', takin' it in (Sun don't shine)

[Chorus: Halle, *Missy Elliott*]

Every day the sun don't shinе, but oh

Keep it movin', keep it movin'

It's up to you the way you chose to go

Keep it movin', keep it movin'

Nothing's gonna take you down, oh

Just let it go (Go)

Life can never break your soul (*Woo*)

[Post-Chorus: Halle, *Missy Elliott*]

Keep on movin'

Don't stop (*Woo*)

Keep on movin'

Wake it up, oh (*I like this*)

Keep on movin'

Yeah, yeah, oh

The time will come your way, yeah (Time will come your way)

(*Oh, let's go*)

[Chorus: Halle, *Missy Elliott*]

Every day the sun don't shine, but oh

Keep it movin', keep it movin' (*Woo*)

It's up to you the way you chose to go

Keep it movin', keep it movin'

Nothing's gonna take you down, oh

Wherever we go (Go)

Life can never break your soul (*Woo*)

[Outro: Missy Elliott]

Oh, Halle, this joint fire
