Can't Hold Us
[Intro: Macklemore] Ay, ay, ay Good to see you, come on, let's go Yeah! Let's go! Alright, alright, okay Alright, okay Alright, okay
[Verse 1: Macklemore] Return of the Mack Get 'em, 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 me, get up Thrift shop, pimp-strut walkin' Little bit of humble, little bit of cautious Somewhere between like Rocky and Cosby Sweater game, 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 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 shit, hustlin' Chasing dreams since I was fourteen With the four-track, bussin' Halfway cross that city with the backpack, fat cat, crushin' Labels out here, nah, they can't tell me nothin' We give that to the people, spread it across the country Labels out here, nah, they can't tell me nothin' We give it to the people, spread it across the country
[Hook: Ray Dalton] Can we go back? This is the moment Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over So we put our hands up Like the ceiling can't hold us Like the ceiling can't hold us Can we go back? This is the moment Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over So we put our hands up Like the ceiling can't hold us Like the ceiling can't hold us
[Verse 2: Macklemore] Now, can I kick it? Thank you Yeah, I'm so damn grateful I grew up really wanting gold fronts But that’s what you get when Wu-Tang raised you Y'all can't stop me Go hard like I got a 808 in my heartbeat And I'm eating at the beat like you gave a little speed To a great white shark on Shark Week, raw! Tell me go up, gone Deuces, goodbye, I got a world to see And my girl, she wanna see Rome Caesar'll make you a believer Nah, I never ever did it for a throne That validation comes from giving it back to the people Now sing a song, and it goes like Raise those hands, this is our party We came here to live life like nobody was watching I got my city right behind me, if I fall, they got me Learn from that failure, gain humility And then we keep marching, I said…
[Hook: Ray Dalton] Can we go back? This is the moment Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over So we put our hands up Like the ceiling can't hold us Like the ceiling can't hold us Can we go back? This is the moment Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over So we put our hands up Like the ceiling can't hold us Like the ceiling can't hold us
[Interlude] And so we put our hands up And so we put our hands up Oh, oh, oh, oh…

[Hook: Ray Dalton] Can we go back? This is the moment Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over So we put our hands up Like the ceiling can't hold us Like the ceiling can't hold us Can we go back? This is the moment Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over So we put our hands up Like the ceiling can't hold us
