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

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

But we won’t let nothin’ hold us back
We’re puttin’ our show together, we’re polishing up our act now
And if you’ve ever been held down before
I know you refuse to be held down anymore, well

Don’t you let nothin’, nothin’
Stand in your way
I want y’all to listen, listen
To every word I say, every word I say

Ain’t no stoppin’ us now (No, oh, oh)
We’re on the move, huh
Ain’t no stoppin’ us now
We’ve got the groove, huh

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 (We got it)

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 their goin’, they don’t know

But we won’t let nothin’ hold us back
We’re gonna put our show together, we’re gonna polish up our act, well
And if you’ve ever been held down before
I know you refuse to be held down anymore, well

Don’t you let nothin’, nothin’
Stand in your way
I want y’all to listen, listen
To every word I say, every word I say

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 movin’, yeah, yeah, yeah)
We’ve got the groove (We’re groovin’, 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 (We’ve got, got the groove)

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 movin’, yeah, yeah, yeah)
We’ve got the groove (We’re groovin’, movin’, movin’ movin’ move)

Ain’t no stoppin’ us now (Ooh, no, no)
We’re on the move (I’m on the move, I really, really got the groove)
Ain’t no stoppin’ us now (And I know, I know we’ve got the groove)
We’ve got the groove (Makes you wanna really move)

Ain’t no stoppin’ us now (No need in tryin’)
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)
We’ve got the groove

Ain’t no stoppin’ us now
We’re on the move (I really, really got the groove)
Ain’t no stoppin’ us now (No need in denyin’, well)
We’ve got the groove (I ain’t lyin’)

Ain’t no stoppin’ us now [I know, I know]
We’re on the move (It’s been far too long, well)
Ain’t no stoppin’ us now [Ain’t no stoppin’ us]
We’ve got the groove [We’ve got the groove, there ain’t no stoppin’ us]

Ain’t no stoppin’ us now (It’s been far too long, y’all, ah)
We’re on the move [We’re on the move] (Just join me while I get in line)
Ain’t no stoppin’ us now (Yeah, yeah)
We’ve got the groove (We’re leavin’ the negative people way behind)

‘Cause it ain’t no, yeah
{Don’t wanna stop, please don’t make me stop}
Please, please, please
{Don’t wanna stop, please don’t make me stop}
Don’t make me stop it
{Don’t wanna stop, please don’t make me stop}
See, I don’t know where we’re goin’
{Don’t wanna stop, please don’t make me stop}
Or where we’re gonna end up, yeah

[Movin’ on, I’m movin’ on]
[I’m movin’ on, I’m movin’ on, yeah]
But see we’re gonna keep tryin’
[Movin’ on, I’m movin’ on]
We’re gonna keep tryin’
[Movin’ on, I’m movin’ , yeah]
Over and over
[I said it ain’t no]
No stoppin’ us [No]
See, said it ain’t no
No way, no way [Uh]
We’re gonna put our show together
Time to polish up our act
[See our time has finally came around, huh]

Ain’t no stoppin’ us now (No...)
We’re on the move (Said we’re on the move, we really, really got the groove)
Ain’t no stoppin’ us now (No...) [We’re movin’ straight ahead]
We’ve got the groove

Ain’t no stoppin’ us now (Oh...)
We’re on the move (Said we’re on the move, we really, really got the groove)
Ain’t no stoppin’ us now [There’s so many obstacles might be in our way]
We’ve got the groove [but we’re gonna get there someday]

Ain’t no stoppin’ us now (Oh...)
We’re on the move (Said we’re on the move, we really, really got the groove)
Ain’t no stoppin’ us now [There’s so many obstacles might be in our way]
We’ve got the groove [But we’re gonna get there some day, some day]

Ain’t no stoppin’ us now
We’re on the move
Ain’t no stoppin’ us now [‘Cause I’m on the move, ain’t no stoppin’ us]
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
