Can't hold us

Here we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight till it's over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us

Return of the mack, get up
What it is, what it does, what it is, what it isn't
Looking for a better way to get up out of bed
Instead of getting on the internet and checking a new hit
Get up! Thrift shop pimp strut walking
Little bit of humble, little bit of cautious

Somewhere between like rocky and cosby
Sweatergang nope nope y'all can't copy
Yup. Bad, moonwalking, this here, is our party
My posse's been on broadway
And we did it, our way
Grown music, I shed my skin and put my bones into everything I record to it
And yet I'm on
Let that stage light go and shine on down
I got that bob barker suit game and plinko in my style
Money, stay on my craft and stick around for those pounds
But I do that to pass the torch and put on for my town
Trust me
On my I-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t hustler
Chasing dreams since I was 14 with the four track bussing
Halfway cross that city with the backpack, fat cat, crushing

Labels out here
Nah they can't tell me nothing
We give that to the people
Spread it across the country
Labels out here
Nah they can't tell me nothing
We give it to the people
Spread it across the country

Here we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight till it's over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us
Here we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight till it's over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us

Nah, can I kick it. Thank you
Yeah I'm just so grateful
I grew up, really wanted gold fronts
But that's what you get when wu tang raised you
Y'all can't stop me, go hard like I got an 808 in my heart beat
And I'm eating at the beat like you gave a little speed to a great white shark on shark week
Raw. Gell me go up. gone!
Deuces goodbye. I got a world to see, and my guy he wanna see Rome
Ceasar make you a believer
Nah I never ever did it for a throne
That validation comes from giving it back to the people
Nah sing a song and it goes like
Raise those hands, this is a party
We came here to live life like nobody's watching
I got my city right behind me
If I fall, they got me then from that failure gain humility and then we keep marching you

Here we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight till it's over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us
Here we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight till it's over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us

Na na na na na na na na
Hooooooooooo
Na na na na na na na na
Hoooooooooo

Here we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight till it's over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us
Here we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight till it's over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us
