• 44 That validation comes from giving it back to the people. nah sing a song and it goes like
• 45 Raise those hands, this is our party
• 46 We came here to live life like nobody was watching
• 47 I got my city right behind me
• 48 If I fall, they got me. Learn from that failure gain humility and then we keep marching ourselves

• 51 So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us
• 52 Like the ceiling can’t hold us
• 53 Here we go back, this is the moment
• 54 Tonight is the night, we’ll fight till it’s over
• 55 So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us
• 56 Like the ceiling can’t hold us

Cant Hold Us

Macklemore

Lyrics:

ENJOY!!!

• 9) And yet I’m on~
• 10) Let that stage light go and shine on down,
• 11) got that Bob Barker suit game and plinko in my style.
• 12) Money, stay on my craft and stick around for those pounds,
• 13) But I do that to pass the torch and put on for my town
• 14) Trust me. On my I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T hustleing,
• 15) Chasing dreams since I was 14 with the four track bussing halfway cross that city with the backpack, fat cat, crushing

• 16) Labels out here, Nah they can’t tell me nothing
• 17) 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

• 18) Here we go back, this is the moment
• 19) Tonight is the night, we’ll fight till it’s over
• 20) So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us
• 21) Like the ceiling can’t hold us
• 22) Here we go back, this is the moment
• 23) Tonight is the night, we’ll fight till it’s over
• 24) So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us
• 25) Like the ceiling can’t hold us

Lyrics

• 1) Return of the Mack, get up! what it is, what it does, what it is, what it isn’t
• 2) Looking for a better way to get up out of bed
• 3) Instead of getting on the Internet and checking a new hit me
• 4) Get up! fresh out walking, little bit of humble, little bit of cautious
• 5) Somewhere between like rocky and Cosby sweatergang nope nope y’all can’t copy
• 6) Yup. Bad, moonwalking, this here, is our party, my posse's been on Broadway,
• 7) And we did it, our way.
• 8) Grown music, I she'd my skin and put my bones into everything I record to it
