Can't Hold Us
L.E.J Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 me
Get up! Fresh out, pimp strut walking, 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, moon walking, 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

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

Trust me, on my I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T shit hustling
Chasing dreams since I was fourteen
With the four track bussing
Halfway cross that city with the backpack, fat cat, crush shit!

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

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

Na na na na, na na na na
Hey, and all my people say
Na na na na, na na na na
Hey, and all my people say
Na na na na, na na na na
Looking for a better way to get up out of bed
Instead of getting on the Internet and checking a new hit me
To get up!
Na na na na, na na na na
Macklemore

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

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
