Hip Hop has celebrated 50 years, but most people seem to have forgotten the original idea of getting the youth away from both streets and violence through music, dance, song, poetry and painting…
The single precedes the 2024’s new 10-tracks full length album A Crazy World with Armand Gutheim & The Feel Harmonic Rockestra which concept is about being welcomed into a world of joy and opportunity, but pretty soon realizing that it’s also quite a crazy place.
lyrics
Power Moves!
Power Moves!
Won’t you show us your Power Moves?
Well, this is the way I move!...
Brother, you say that you’re all alone
and you spend your days always on your own
Now, listen to me: do your Power Moves!
Brother, you think that your life's a bore
and you’re on the brink to crawl on the floor
Now, listen to me: do your Power Moves!...
Power Moves!
Power Moves!
Won’t you show us your Power Moves?
Well, this is the way I move!...
Sister, you seek for the perfect guy
who isn’t a freak living in a lie
Now, listen to me: do your Power Moves!
Sister, you dream of an easy life
far from what it seems like a pointless strife
Now, listen to me: do your Power Moves!...
Power Moves!
Power Moves!
Won’t you show us your Power Moves?
Well, this is the way I move!...
Well, Hip-Hop’s a world where you meet
on a beat instead of a fight
That’s Rhythm And Poetry! That’s Rhythm And Poetry!
Well, Hip-Hop’s a world where you’re clean
and your scene is in the light
That’s Rhythm And Poetry! That’s Rhythm And Poetry!
You can sing, you can dance, you can play, you can paint
be creative till you faint
No fight, no blight, no fleece, no grease
‘cause Hip-Hop’s all about peace!...
Power Moves!
Power Moves!
Won’t you show us your Power Moves?
Well, this is the way I move!...
