The structure combines "move" with "weight" (a large quantity of drugs, measured in pounds or kilos), forming a verb phrase that treats narcotics as physical cargo. It is used to describe selling or distributing a large quantity of drugs, often at a wholesale level rather than street level retail. People typically say someone "moves weight" when they are a major supplier or trafficker, such as "He's not a small dealer, he actually moves weight." The term originated in American drug trade lingo during the 1980s crack epidemic, later popularized through hip hop lyrics, crime films, and true crime documentaries.
