Can't Stop Us Now Lyrics - Nas

[Verse One - Nas] 

From Willie Lynch to Willie Hutch, right on! 

We Supafly, made Gucci the shit, Louis too, suits and ties, 

playa trophies, pray to goldie 

Picture wax museums full of black pimps and triple O.G.'s 

Aunt Jemima hoes, historic horseshit, girls from long time ago 

Stagecoach with the horse kid 

Witchdoctors, good ol' pickpockets, sip moonshine 

So called coon, shines and darkies 

I love y'all 

Pyramids to cotton fields to Wrigley Fields 

Forgotten men who did get kill 

Crispus Attucks the first blasted 

Peace to the rich lady purse snatcher shot in the back 

I know you're hungry kid 

I know they hung your dad, burnt your mama crib 

I know that hurt ya bad 

Minstrel shows from gold to shackles and back to gold 

We act like we home, matter fact we are home 

Bad attitudes, octoroon skin tones 

Slave food turn to soul food, collards and neckbones 

Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag 

Bet she had a nigga with her to help her old ass

[Last Poets] 

As James Baldwin says, you can only be destroyed by believing that you really are what the white world considers a "nigger" 

[Chorus - Eban Thomas] 

No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now 

No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now

[Verse Two - Nas] 

Yo on Dateline the other night they showed hate crimes 

Gave a blood time 'cause he fought with his K9 

Beastiality, humane society 

Go to China see how they dine, see what they eat 

Better yet asks PETA whoever what animal makes suede 

If not for suede would you survive the Dark Ages? 

Cannibal ways of the anti-caucasians 

Slay ya like a steak tartar on pinot noir 

David star on the chain, Sammy Davis he helped pave the way for Southern crankers and them Harlem shakers 

Now we gettin our papers 

They try to censor the words that stop our money comin but you can't escape us, haters 

[Chorus - Eban Thomas] 

No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now 

No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
