Keep It Movin’ Lyrics

[Intro: Keke Palmer]
Alright y'all, it's Keke P
Huh, '07, we doin' it real big

[Chorus: Keke Palmer]
Woke up in the morning and I see the sunshine
Only got the summertime on my mind
My girls and I, we kick it all the time
Only got the summertime on my mind
We keep it moving (Way-oh, ayo)
We keep it moving (Way-oh)
We keep it moving (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 1: Keke Palmer]
Everybody know that school's out, no doubt
You know this one goes out to all of my homies
It's what we've been waiting for
It's 92 (outside) let's make our move
And get into a little something
Radio's blasting, let's make this happen
Homies and shorties, stand up
Stand up, let's get this party on
Let's do this now, be young and proud
Let's go and show them how
Get it, get it
[Pre-Chorus: Keke Palmer]
312, yeah, we know how to jerk it
212 and 310 about to twerk it

Get it, get it, get it, come on now, it's going down
(Come on, let's get it)
Everybody feelin' just fine, it's summertime

[Chorus: Keke Palmer]
Woke up in the morning and I see the sunshine
Only got the summertime on my mind
My girls and I, we kick it all the time
Only got the summertime on my mind
We keep it moving (Way-oh, ayo)
We keep it moving (Way-oh)
We keep it moving (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 2: Keke Palmer]
And 106 Park Gon' come on
And my favorite joint's on
It's a block party, so don't be afraid to lose control
It's all about you, so what it do
Can't nobody tell us nothing
Well, I love hip hop music
Let's go ahead and do this
Homies and shorties, stand up
Stand up, let's get this party on
We doing it now, be young and proud
Let's go and show them how
Get it, get it
[Pre-Chorus: Keke Palmer]
312, yeah, we know how to jerk it
212 and 310 about to twerk it
Get it, get it, get it, come on now, it's going down
(Come on, let's get it)
Everybody feelin' just fine, it's summertime

[Chorus: Keke Palmer]
Woke up in the morning and I see the sunshine
Only got the summertime on my mind
My girls and I, we kick it all the time
Only got the summertime on my mind
We keep it moving (Way-oh, ayo)
We keep it moving (Way-oh)
We keep it moving (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

[Bridge: Big Meech]
Okay, it's summertime, 'bout to party like a rockstar
A couple months, speeding by, like a hot car
Cause time flies when you're having fun
So hit the floor, and try to find yourself a summer love
But me, I keep it moving all seven days of the week
I'm like Miami, cause the boy always bring the heat
I got them big thangs popping, like my name was T.I.P
Doing tricks in the whip with Keke P, a million dollar kid
[Chorus: Keke Palmer]
Woke up in the morning and I see the sunshine
Only got the summertime on my mind
My girls and I, we kick it all the time
Only got the summertime on my mind
We keep it moving (Way-oh, ayo)
We keep it moving (Way-oh)
We keep it moving (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

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 [?]

Genius Annotation

Keke Palmer’s first single!! I produced and co-wrote it.

This song was originally a single for my artist Big meech, who got signed to Epic Records around this time. The original chorus had Jah-Free (now Allen Paris) singing. Atlantic Records bought the song for Keke (for a lot) and also had to keep Big Meech as a feature on the single.

Unfortunately, this was a summer song and they released it going into the fall season so it didn’t get the big push at radio for it to be a huge hit.

Atlantic asked us to change the chorus to say “weekend” instead of “summertime”, which we did but it was already out and couldn’t be effectively swapped. oh well…

The music video was dope and kinda cutting edge for the time tho!!
