Public Enemy - Can't Hold Us Back Lyrics
[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....
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
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?
[A Great Round Of Applause]

Dead Prez Public Enemy and Paris.. They are all still here raising consciousness.
How by them keeping silent on.the number murderer of Blacks, Kkk Planned Parenthood abd refusing to call.out Deep state non Black owned" Black Lives Matter" for supporting Kkk Margaret Sanger eugenics Negro Project (now known as Planned Parenthood) ? 20 million Black babies murdered by Kkk Planned Parenthood since 1973 and nothing but silence from.these deep state control" pro Black" frauds. Tgeyre too busy getting rich from.the deep state by mindlessly promoting Globalist anti White anti Police divide and conquer agenda. Its Chess but sadly Chuck D and Paris only want to see it as checkers. Muhammad Ali endorsed Ronald Reagan. Kkk now wears Planned Parenthood uniforms . Are these two living in.a cave or what?
Has to BE Hip Hop !!!!!
forever and ah EVER .
Has to BE Hip Hop !!!!!
forever and ah EVER .
RECLAIM THE MUTHAFUCKN STREETZ!!! BIG UP!
uc davis; crime is not a problem when its the only answer
LOL yeah more blacks behind bars than ever. Great answer, moron. What was the question?
This is the soundtrack to my thought process for now.
Dont forget dead prez!!
invite.. talentsofworld
@campuzano18 There is Dead Prez in the song too
Zalute!
Salute! #thorohiphop
America is indeed a stolen land illusion.
Greatness at it's best.
FIRE BEAT
RAPIN FOR FREEDOM JUSTICE AND EQUALITY.
LOL. I just noticed the beat is from 'They Live"
They Live spoke out against Kkk Planned Parenthood, Chuck.d,Paris won't. 20 million Black babies murdered by Kkk Planned Parenthood since 1973 but the deep state will cut off Chuck D,Paris funding if they dare mention that and call out "Black Lives Matter" for supporting Kkk Margaret Sanger eugenics Negro Project now called Planned Parenthood) .Chess Nit Checkers. Its really sad Chuck Doesn't know this.Paris always viewed as checkers so I'm.not surprised in his blue pill state pretending to red pill but I put the glasses on see through his deep state approved lyrics and what his deep state massa from.They Live don't want me to.
because they forgot theyre from Europe, thats why. I dont call myself white, nor american, america's an illusion, a stolen land. perpatrated by the religious from israel, who got mixed up with the"whites", I still consider myself a proud European, I respect Africans for their pride as well. we need to join together and fight the slavery of this government.
white ppl are the only ppl who refer to themselves as just "Americans" whatever the hell that means..?
Shut up you political chump. You won't call out Non Black owned" Black Lives Matter" for supporting Kkk Margaret Sanger eugenics Negro Project (now called Planned Parenthood) .20 million Black babies murdered by Kkk Planned Parenthood since 1973 and all hear sadly from.Chuck D,Paris us endless silence from.them on.thus.they're too busy pushing the deep state anti White anti Police divide and conquer nonsense here.Its Chess bit Chick D,Paris, you,etc only want to see it as checkers.
. yea because people somehow, all of a sudden forgot about it... Hmmm your a goddamn fool, & a devil.
great one of you, and still millions of them, and when i say them.. i referring to devils. u can't act like this is the first time, it has been brought to your attention.. so don't go there. I don't know YOU! But i do know your peoples his-story, and surely could never forget what HE has done. & its very funny how you told me, me in your own words that I should "Stop talking about racism and color" Because one day... one day.. not today.. not yesterday, but ONE day it will be gone..
What the hell are you talking about? I'm white and don't look down on any color.
People like you makes the racism that exist on this earth never stop.
Stop talking about racism and colors and one day it will be gone.
Fuck you.
3 people that listened to this suck at life
Theres only 3 races in the pool of the human family, which leaves u with Mongoloid (euphemism) but none the less still remains fact. And u need to know whites do not like anyone of color and those that do, are ready to use to a privileged lifestyle that they wont ever want to go back to equal. So I say Colored Pride World Wide, Anything white aint right!
We Must Put Down ALL The Vices/Stumbling Blocks, Focus And Channel God, (TMH) If We Are To Succeed!!!!!
Illusionazis are bigger than hip-hop and being black & white! This Is Good vs. evil!!!!!
Public Enemy ft Paris - Can't hold us back
everybody is a racist deep inside them! we all have got hatred come on!
KIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
refrain zwiine
@TehFlood if im not wrong its a sample from a speech i think malcolm x or mayby martin luther king?
@BaneTrogdor lol i bet they clicked the wrong one by mistake proberbly a stoner
I remember Paris said in the credits of one of his albums "Niggas talk about unity, but can't return phone calls". I see Chuck returned his call or called him one or the two. Paris has always been one of the realest niggas in hip-hop. Lon live Panther Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's find the one who disliked this , and shoot him :P ... just kidding...
You might as well say that DEAD PREZ are on the track, cause the shit wouldn't be so real if it wasn't for them
SHIT this is real..
POWER TO THE PEOPLE !!!
P.S. THIS IS FEATURING WITH DEAD PREZ !
yes!!!!
We rep justice, equality and freedom now
Put fam first, man woman and child
Never mild keep it hostile 'till we raise
Where we say what we mean and we mean what we say
It's been a long time coming that we mob as one
Guerrilla funk, hard truth and, that's what's up
No peace on the street 'till the justice come
From the ballot to the bullet, if it's on, it's on
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

the youth in this nation is not racist. Its preached to us!!
Obama is just a distraction for what the evil people behind him are planning. God damn it we are all in danger.
I'm not white nor black. I'm an American. Join the American family fight. We have bigger issues!!!!!
louis farrakas something something is the backround bigit.
Awesome. Old school. Hail Public Enemy.
I don't have a link, but I think It's Rev. Jessie Jackson.
jesse jackson
Man, the hook is so motivating! :D I use to listen to this one before I go in demonstrations.
The real artist in this song is: "Dead Prez, Kom, Paris & Public Enemy"
Who is doing the speech in the background?
This is as political and strong as any track they've done. I wish there was a real video for it. Thanks for posting this though.
