Lyrics
[Chorus]
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We're on the move
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We've got the groove
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We're on the move
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We've got the groove
[Verse 1]
There's been so many things that's held us down
But now it looks like things are finally comin' around
I know we've got a long, long way to go
And where we'll end up, I don't know
[Verse 2]
But we won't let nothin' hold us back
We're puttin' ourselves together, we're polishing up our act, well
If you've ever been held down before
I know you'll refuse to be held down anymore, well
[PreChorus]
Don't you let nothing, nothing
Stand in your way
I want y'all to listen, listen
To every word I say, every word I say
[Chorus]
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We're on the move
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We've got the groove
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We're on the move
I know, I know
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We've got the groove
[Verse 3]
I know you know someone that has a negative vibe
And if you're tryin' to make it, they only push you aside
They really don't have nowhere to go
Ask them where they're goin', they don't know
But we won't let nothin' hold us back
We're gonna put ourselves together, we're gonna polish up our act, well
And if you've ever been held down before
I know you'll refuse to be held down anymore, well
[PreChorus]
Don't you let nothing, nothing
Stand in your way
I want y'all to listen, listen
To every word I say, every word I say
[Chorus]
Ain't no stoppin' us now
No, no, no
We're on the move
We're movin', we're groovin'
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We're moving
We've got the groove
Yeah, yeah, we're grooving
Movin' movin' movin' move
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We're on the move
I know, we've got the groove
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We've got the groove
Got the groove
[Chorus]
Ain't no stoppin' us now
Oh, no, no
We're on the move
I'm on the move
I really, really got that groove
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We've got the groove
Ain't no stoppin' us now
No need in tryin', no
We're on the move
'Cause I ain't buyin'
Ain't no stoppin' us now
Don't try to stop us, no no no
Got the groove, got the groove, got that groove
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We're on the move
Oh, I really, really got that groove
Ain't no stoppin' us now
No need in denying
We've got the groove
Well, I ain't lying
Ain't no stoppin' us now
I know, I know
We're on the move
It's been far too long
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We've got the groove,
We've got the groove, ain't no stoppin' us
It's been far too long y'all
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We're on the move
Just doin' it while I get in line
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We've got the groove
[Verse 4]
We're leavin' the negative people
Way behind
'Cause it ain't no
Don't wanna stop, please don't make me stop
Please, please, please
I don't wanna stop, please don't make me stop
Don't make it stop, hey
I don't wanna stop, please don't make me stop
See I don't know where we're goin'
I don't wanna stop, please don't make me stop
Or where we're gonna end up
Movin' on, I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
But see we're gonna keep tryin'
I'm movin' on
We're gonna keep tryin' (I'm movin' on)
Over and over, yeah (No stopping us)
I said there ain't no, (No stoppin' us)
No way, no-no, no way, no way
We're gonna pull ourselves together, gotta polish up our act
See, our time has finally came around
[Chorus]
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We're on the move
Say, we're on the move, we really, really got the groove
Got the groove
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We're moving straight ahead
We've got the groove
We've got it, got it
We're on the move
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We're on the move
Yeah, we're on the move
We've got the groove
We really, really got that groove
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We've got the groove
But we're gonna get there someday
We're on the move
Someday, yeah
Ain't no stoppin' us now
Everywhere, to yes, we will
We're on the move
'Cause I'm on the move
We've got the groove
Ain't no stoppin' us
Ain't no stoppin' us now
You can't stop me
We found the groove
I said you can't stop me
We're on the move
Ain't no stoppin' us now
No stoppin' us
We're on the move
