[Chorus: Beyoncé & Grace Jones, Beyoncé, Grace Jones]
Move out the way
I'm with my girls and we all need space (Woo)
When the queen come through, part like the Red Sea
Move out the way
How many times (How many times) I'ma say it?
It's a home run when the team touch base

[Refrain: Grace Jones, Beyoncé, Both]
Brukup, it's Brukup, it's Brukup (Brukup)
Humble like we pon' the come up (Hm)
Don't make it turn into trouble
'Cause we comin' straight out the jungle (Grace)
Brukup, it's Brukup, it's Brukup (Grace Jones)
Humble like we pon' the come up (Grace Jones)
Don't make it turn into troublе
'Cause we comin' straight out the junglе

[Verse 1: Beyoncé]
Move, move, move, move
Yeah, you gotta move, move
Anything you do
Will be held against you

You have to move, move, move, move
Skrrt off, make room
Stampede comin' through
Big boss on the move, yeah
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Bounce it
Everybody around me (Yeah)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Bounce it (Bounce it)
Pick it up like you found it (Found it)
[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]
Me and my girlfriends came out to play (Play)
Fireworks and champagne, Chantilly Lace
Broken glass in the disco, sex on the brain (Ah)
Watch my reflection, **** out my face

[Chorus: Beyoncé & Grace Jones, Beyoncé, Grace Jones]
Move out the way
I'm with my girls and we all need space (Mm)
When the queen come through, part like the Red Sea
Move out the way
How many times (How many times) I'ma say it?
It's a home run when the team touch base

[Interlude: Tems]
Who this girl in the back of the room?
Who this girl in the back of the room?
Who this girl in the back of the room?
It's the groove, it's the Yoncé groove
Who this girl in the back of the room?
Who this girl in the back of the room?
It's the groove, it's the Yoncé groove
It's a party in the hotel room

[Bridge: Beyoncé, Grace Jones]
Find me, I don't need to call him
I don't need no phone, yeah
I don't need to fall, yeah
You know me, I'm vibin'
You and me's a vibe, yeah
Always catchin' vibe, eh
Give me a little fire
Give me a little flame, yeah
Give me a relight and wine
I don't want to contemplate
Give me a little fire
Give me a relight and wine
I want to make you shine (Queen come through)
This is how I move, this is how I move
This is why I live, sweet moments like this
This is how we groove, this is how we kiss
(Queen come through, queen come through)
This is how I move, this is how I move
This is how we live, sweet moments like this
This is how we groove, this is how we kiss (Wow)
[Refrain: Grace Jones, Grace Jones & Beyoncé, Beyoncé]
Brukup, it's Brukup, it's Brukup
Humble like we pon' the come up
Don't make it turn into trouble
'Cause we comin' straight out the jungle
Brukup, it's Brukup, it's Brukup
We come through, we slangin' them bundles
Don't make it turn into trouble
'Cause we comin' straight out the jungle

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“MOVE” explores a mixture of afrobeats, funk & bounce with the help of Grace Jones on the chorus & refrain as well as a brief addition from rising Nigerian artist Tems. This is also the first collaboration between Beyoncé, Grace Jones & Tems and the first song on a Beyoncé studio album to feature two female artists.

The hard-hitting constant bass and chant-like chorus electrifies the listener into a rhythm that details Beyoncé & her girls looking for space on the dancefloor.
