Can't Hold Us - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Feat. Ray Dalton
Can't Hold Us - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Feat. Ray Dalton
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 out who hit me, get up
Thrift shop, 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, moonwalking
This here, is our party
My posse's been on Broadway
And we did it our way
Throne 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 14
With the four track bussing
Halfway cross that city with the backpack
Fat cat, crushin labels out here
Nah they can't tell me nothing
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
Here we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight till it's over
So we put our hands up
Like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us
Here we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight till it's over
So we put our hands up
Like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us
Now can I kick it? Thank you
Yeah I'm so damn grateful
I grew up, really wanted gold fronts
But that's what you get when Wu-Tang raised you
Y'all can't stop me
Go hard like I got an 808 in my heart beat
And I'm eating at the beat
Like you gave a little speed
To a great white shark
On shark week
Raw, Time to gone off, I'm gone!
Deuces goodbye, I got a world to see
And my girl she wanna see Rome
Caesar will make you a believer
Nah I never ever did it for a throne
That validation comes from giving it back to the people
Nah 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 ourselves
Here we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight till it's over
So we put our hands up
Like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us
Here we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight till 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 NAna na naNA na"
And all my people say
"Na na NAna na naNA na"
And all my people say
"Na na NAna na naNA na"
And all my people say
"Na na NAna na naNA na"
And all my people say
"Can't Hold Us" is a song by American hip hop duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis from their debut studio album The Heist (2012).

The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, making it their second number-one hit in the United States. It is also their third consecutive number-one single in Australia. The radio edit cuts out portions of the introduction, as well as the extended bridge section and an alternate beat during the last chorus, replacing them with an introduction from Dalton and a clapping beat. The beat is similar to their live performances of the song. The song is in the key of E minor with a tempo set at 146 beats per minute. The music video was nominated for Best Music Video at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards in 2014. The song was also listed as "The Most-Streamed Song of 2013" by Spotify.
