Public Enemy - Can't Hold Us Back lyrics

Your rating:

[Intro: Revolutionary]

Today we are together, we are unified and on runnin' 

cower

When we are together we got power

That is why we gathered today, celebratin' our own....



[Chuck D]

We spit flows on foes 

Listen to the message that you never know 

Got a plan for the man and it's federal 

The rhyme animal, back to play the part again 

Clear the madness, and put the message in 

D, the Enemy is back to rip the mic 

We come together, so don't believe the hype 

Check my tone, there's a war here at home 

We united and strong, and never move alone 



[Paris]

We rep justice, equality and freedom now 

Put fam first, man, woman and child 

Never mild, keep it hostile 'til we raise 

Where we say, what we mean and we mean what we say 

It's been a long time comin' that we mob as one 

Guerrilla Funk, Hard Truth nigga, that's what's up 

No peace on the street 'til the justice come 

From the ballot to the bullet, if it's on, it's on 



[Chorus: Paris]

I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me

They gon' have to pop me to stop me

See, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me

They gon' have to pop me to stop me

Believe, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block 

me

They gon' have to pop me to stop me

My brother, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or 

block me

They gon' have to pop me to stop me

That's real talk on the one 



[Professor Griff]

Yo, yo, yo, yo, I'm a target, I got proof

My buildin' got an 'X' on it 

Bloomberg threw the hex on it

It's like a pistol with effects on it 

On a nigga with arrest warrants 

Hittin' pigs in their chests Quadrant where they vest 

wasn't 

Now he dead cousin 

All you snitches hit the red buttons, we some Uncle-Tom 

killers 

Mini-nina concealers, political cap-peelers for this 

freedom for rilla 



[Dead Prez]

Yo, if police stop the whip you got to eat them trees 

I ain't got no 'G' to give it to them crackers and 

court fees 

You know my steez, security first, prepare for the 

worst 

Never caught slippin' if you stay on alert 

Malcolm X said send them to the cemetery if they touch 

you 

A revolutionary virtue, a dull blade'll hurt you 

I'm up early workin' my machete 

In war, it ain't no warning, you just got to be ready 



[Chorus: Dead Prez w/ Minor Variations]

I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me

They gon' have to pop me to stop me

My nigga, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block 

me

They gon' have to pop me to stop me

My nigga, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block 

me

They gon' have to pop me to stop me

You see, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block 

me

They gon' have to pop me to stop me, yeah, uha



[KAM]

Yeah, my nigga it's bigger than rap

You really think you gon' be left alone 

On sayin' that you believe and ain't gon' have to get 

your scrap on? 

Then yap on, and will see if that's the right route 

While I get my clap on and turn niggas' lights out 

I tried to be nice, now we gon' have to bleed them 

I'm willin' to do a killin' for the price of freedom 

"that's right"

Comin' from the left, nigga, hood is how we kept it 

"right"

So prison or death is just somethin' I done accepted 

So we'll murder a snake, and we'll kill a skunk "that's 

right"

This ain't the word of a fake, it's Guerrilla Funk 

So right now is the time and you turf the location 

Y'all about to see the Rebirth Of a Nation 

Even if some got de-rebelized 

The revolution still will not be televised 

U.S. Government tellin' hell of lies 

And it's evident, when you look in this president's 

devil eyes 



[Chorus: KAM w/ Minor Variations] 

I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me

They gon' have to pop me to stop me

Yeah, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me

They gon' have to pop me to stop me

No homie, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block 

me

They gon' have to pop me to stop me

My brother, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or 

block me

They gon' have to pop me to stop me



[Paris]

That's real talk on the one 



[Outro: Revolutionary]

That is why, I challenged you now

To stand together, raise your fists together

And engage in our national black messiness

Do it courage and determination..

I AM, "I AM" - SOMEBODY "SOMEBODY"

I AM, "I AM" - SOMEBODY "SOMEBODY"

I LIVE IN POOR "I LIVE IN POOR"

BUT I AM, "BUT I AM" SOMEBODY "SOMEBODY"

I NEED YOUR WELFARE "I NEED YOUR WELFARE"

BUT I AM, "I AM" SOMEBODY "SOMEBODY"

I'm MAYBE YOUR SEAL "I'M MAYBE YOUR SEAL"

BUT I AM, "BUT I AM" SOMEBODY "SOMEBODY"

I AM "I AM" BLACK "BLACK" BEAUTIFUL "BEAUTIFUL" RAW 

"RAW"

I MUST BE EFFECTIVE "I MUST BE EFFECTIVE"

I MUST BE PROTECTED " I MUST BE PROTECTED"

WHAT TIME IS IT? "UNIFICATION"

WHEN WE STAND TOGETHER, WHAT TIME IS IT?

WHEN WE SAY NO MORE ?? WHAT TIME IS IT?

WHAT TIME IS IT?

WHAT TIME IS IT?
