Church on the Move

## Song by Ab-Soul

To B.Dot on the *Rap Radar Podcast*, Ab-Soul clarified that he did not diss Kid Cudi, where the Crip slang was mistaken as a shot at fellow American rapper. He continued, "You think I would diss Kid Cudi? The great Kid Cudi? On a song called 'Church on the Move'? Peace be unto you. Come on, B.Dot. And y'all trust this guy with the lists?" He continued, "Cuddy is a term that we use, it's kinda on some Crip shit, you know what I'm saying?"

**Lyrics**
[Intro]

(*Here I am*)

(*Here I am*)

Ayy, man (Soulo)

[Verse 1]

I sip my drink, I do my dance

Don't throw no stones, don't hide my hands

I play my part, I play it well

I trim the fat, still tip the scale

I brought that fight, I fought like hell

I ran that race, I tripped, I fell

I got right back up

Quick, they callin' for back up

I might bend 'em like Beckham

Spin around and pull right back up

Can't be faded like haircuts

My faith wasn't in handcuffs

It wasn't killin' in stages

Reachin' new levels and stages

Had me goin' through phases

I done been patient for ages

Should've got booked like pages

Now we just bussin' like pages

Nah, cuddy, you don't want drama at all, cuddy

I don't be hatin' at all, cuddy

I said love is the law, cuddy, ayy

Yeah, so you can fuck off, cuddy

I just be talkin' that talk, cuddy

Get lost and go find God, cuddy, mad

[Chorus]

Church on the move, church on the move (Church on the move)

Church on the move, church on the move (Church on the move)

You feel me, I feel it too (I feel it too)

Yes, indeed, teach me and you

We go to church on the move

I can't tell no lie, I might testify

Everything above me now

Send your money up, count your blessings

No cap shit, can I get a witness?

[Verse 2]

Keepin' the faith (Keepin' the faith)

(I'm just keepin' open my eyes) I'm diggin' the grave

(They say murder she wrote) But this ain't on the page

(They be claimin' they woke) You better be awake (Sleep)

It ain't easy, bitch (It ain't easy)

Seen the light, shared the light, ayy

Paid the price, takin' flights, ayy

We call that church on the move

Got them hoes twerkin' in the pews

This ain't vacation bible school

[Chorus]

Church on the move, church on the move (Church on the move)

Church on the move, church on the move (Church on the move)

You feel me, I feel it too (I feel it too)

Yes, indeed, teach me and you

We go to church on the move

I can't tell no lie, I might testify

Everything above me now

Send your money up, count your blessings

No cap shit, can I get a witness?
