ABK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Chorus)
Oh no! Oh, oh oh oh no!
Ain't nothin holdin me back now, holding me back now!
Oh no! Oh, oh oh oh no!
Ain't nothin holdin me back now, holding me back now!

Oh no muthaf**ka, suck up that lip!
Cause I'm back in this muthaf**ka and I'm ready to trip!
So I hope u never doubted me, cause here I am
Packed in ya ear drum, like a can of span
And I wouldn't give a damn if u hated me now
Because my family hears me out and bumps this shit out loud
You can call us psycho,crazy,insane, with noone to blame
So we just sit in the rain
Waitin for the right day to get what we deserve
Like respect from the cops on the curb at the concert
Nice titties, my oh my, but when the tear gas fire
You better close your eyes
Every time a new adventure, punch a horse in the face
Smoke a blunt blunt in the forest while you piss in the lake
Situations f**ked up, fun and foul
But it's a whole new year so try and stop me now

(Chorus)

Do you believe in what you do?
Don't stop,don't let noone hold you
Back from what you really wanna do
Besides in this life all you got is you
Keep your heart clear(Keep your heart clear)
Don't let go…go..go.. So emotional
Believe me.. I know!!

(Chorus)

You can't hold me back, because I'm comin for a throttle
Hand on my hatchet, who wanna see a head bobble?
I see my streets, like it's a native warfield
And im the only white-skin left, standing with no shield
So I started to chop cause I can't stop
Its looking too peaceful up there on the top
So im, doing everything that I must
Even if I gotta bust on the ones I can't trust
Aint nothing hold me back! Aint nothing stopping me from takin whats mine!
(You Can't Stop Me! You Can't Stop Me! You Can't Stop Me!)
Aint nothing hold me back! Aint nothing stopping me from takin whats mine!




(You Can't Stop Me! You Can't Stop Me! You Can't Stop Me!)
(Chorus Repeat til the end)
