Lyrics

You got the moves

You possess the agile and swift movements

Of a cheetah in heat

Similar to a cheetah in heat, suggesting urgency and intensity

You got to prove

You need to demonstrate or validate

It when you hit the street

Proving your capabilities when you're out in public

You make it better

Your actions or presence improve situations or circumstances

You got the fire

You possess intense passion or energy

In your back pocket

You carry this intense passion or energy with you (symbolized as fire) in your back pocket, potentially hidden or reserved

You got the fire

Similarly, you carry this passion or energy in your front pocket, possibly implying it's more accessible or on display

In your front pocket

Your presence causes the surrounding temperature to increase

You make the temperature rise

Others are profoundly affected by your presence, to the extent of extreme discomfort (bleeding from their eyes metaphorically)

You got them bleeding from their eyes

You intensify the atmosphere or situation

You increase the heat

You compel others to move or act in response to your influence

You got them moving to the

You need to utilize or employ certain aspects of yourself, possibly instincts or traits (referred to as fur and teeth)

You got to use

Your innate characteristics are your only justification or explanation

Your fur and teeth

Your agility and ferocity are the only excuses you have

Your only excuse

You have no other option but to make enough money to survive

You got to make ends meet

You contribute to increasing the intensity of situations, potentially financially-driven

You make the temperature rise

Similar to line 9, your presence causes a rise in the surrounding temperature, affecting others significantly

You got them bleeding from their eyes

Others are profoundly affected by your presence, to the extent of extreme discomfort (similar to line 10)

You increase the heat

Reiteration of line 11, intensifying or amplifying the atmosphere

You got them moving to the beat

Your influence compels others to move or act in sync with a rhythm or pattern (beat)
