Can’t Hold Me Back ’08

Lyrics

[Intro] Detroit! [Verse 1: Awesome Dre] You cannot hold me back, 'cause Ack will attack Just like a mack truck or an Amtrak Locamotive, you never grab a hold of me My ferocity of my velocity Strong, they can feel it in Hong Kong And when I throw a show, you know the lines are long For what I be poppin' You can't hold me back, there's no stoppin' Call me a mailman, 'cause I will deliver Even in the freezing rain, I won't shiver Like UPS, federal express Awesome Dre's an overnight success [Verse 2: Big Herk] Show me some cars, I'll show you how to shuffle 'em Show me a squeeler, I'll show you how to mufflе 'em You wanna rumble? I'll show you how to scuffle, fag Who want a mag? I got onе in my duffle bag Scallywags rollin' up zig zags Wearin' shaggs, smellin' like dish-rags I'm not down with the program, Abraham You better scram with the flim-flam It's Big Herk, yes, that's who I am Proud to say that I passed every day Say I [?] former brother, like yours truly But I didn't get too unruly I stayed calm, and cooly collected Lost my temper, then I wrecked it Snatched a mic right out a sucker hand Another look-alike tryin' to cop my plan [Bridge] Awesome Dre, Awesome Dre... Big Herk, Big Herk... [Verse 3: Esham] Esham, I keep it movin' 'cause my rhymes are numerous In relation to mine, others are humorous Run of the mill, customary, no thrill Mediocre, ordinary, sour as a dill Pickle, make you laugh without havin' to tickle Try to recycle 'em and you wouldn't get a nickel You think they laughin' with you, but they just laughing at'chu Excuse me, "At you", but still, don't let me catch you Bitin' my rhymes, not even just to borrow Even for today or if just for tomorrow You will feel the sorrow, your body will feel sorry You're like a wild lion attacked you at a safari Or you was a horse next door to a glue factory Your days are numbered, right? Exactly [Verse 4: Merciless Ameer] As sure as the planet Earth is my turf Compared to me, these suckers softer than Nerf Squeezable balls that you bounce off the walls That you give to a little kid that's small Yes, I'm a gangsta, you wanna see my hitlist? Peep out the back of my album and get this Straight, 'cause the rhymes that I create Carry a lot of weight and discombobulate All MC's, tryin' to be epitomes Of someone like me, but I consider these Lines, quite close to untouchable And the ladies find me quite clutchable Merciless, just like the rain You can't hold me back or restrain [Bridge] Esham, Esham... Merciless Ameer... [Verse 5: Shaggy 2 Dope] I might look light, but psych, I keep leverage When I down an alcoholic beverage Now it don't get too due from drinkin' brew But if I do, I can still beat you And your weak crew, too Repossess your heart just like a revenue Take a look at your eyes, they look glossy 'Cause you're scared to death of my posse Who rules the city? Hardcore Committee Hard as Frank Nitty, showin' no pity Believe it, though it's hard to conceive Don't be naive like Adam and Eve Just before you think I'm about to leave I pull another rhyme from up my sleeve That's a fact and if you don't believe that I pull it from right up under my hat [Verse 6: Bo$$] Snap! Outta the jaw, all up in a daze Somebody pinched the crowd, PCP amazed Bringin' 'em back, I bit your hoe out on a track God stole the show, the gangsta bitch a kleptomaniac Callin' it [?], can't have enough fury [?] makin' ma feel chewy Like Cheerio! No, not the cereal That means it's time to go, my last scenario Scene! AK goin' routine These [?] bitches history, where my Belley limousine? I'm outta here, all same, hold the gat Because niggas up on the map Awesome Dre, they can't hold us [Outro: Awesome Dre] Awesome Dre, Big Herk, Esham, Merciless Ameer, Shaggy 2 Dope, Bo$$ You can't hold us back! You can never do that! (Detroit, Detroit) You can't hold us back! (Detroit, Detroit)
