Can't Hold Us Back

[Intro/Chorus: Paris]Is it a, coincidence that we ain't taught truth

A, coincidence that they target the youth

A, coincidence everything is the same

That a message in the music ain't a part of the game

A, coincidence that we livin a lie

A, coincidence that we only get by

A, coincidence that so many are lost

And do prison time 'fore we notice the cost

[Paris]It really ain't difficult to break the mold

And take a close look at the lies we're told

Wipe away the facade, see we got to know

See the plot to control and to rot the soul

You can make anybody that don't read believe

anything that they see on the TV screen

That a lie is reality, the sky is green

That there's weapons in Iraq, and the President's clean

When it's on, thinkin you can trust police

Every black is a beast and our women are cheap

And that brothers gettin murdered is the way of the streets

That it's normal to die when we still in our teens

And that's the way it is, what's the use to try

That school is a motherfuckin waste of time

Slang yay, die young, maybe get rich rhymin

And prison if you black is just a part of life

And that all of America support the Pres'

Religion is the way, and we all full of sin

That it's better after death if we suffer and pray

Even though they fuck us off in this life today

And that white Jesus hangin on the wall in church

ain't a part of a lie to keep a brother subservient

And that the whole world need the word "Amen"

Got troops overseas gettin murdered for free

If you buy that shit, I got a bridge to sell

Like I said I'm a rebel, so I must re-bel

And lies be the truth now, war is peace

Like corporations don't dictate the streets

Like brothers don't die for the diamond or bling

Like brothers don't die over songs we sing

Like patri-ots act like the Patriot Act

While we swing on this bitch 'til we break it in half

[Chorus][Paris]

You guilty if arrested and niggaz are thugs

Only good for welfare, murder and drugs

The media is true, with no bias at all

And Fox News ain't on the President's balls

That Lacey and O.J. and Kobe and Mike

ain't bullshit and really do matter in life

That you shouldn't be insulted they give 'em the time

but never talk about all this corporate crime

That they generatin news stay loose with facts

Relate fake views that'll keep us attracted

like sheep so we don't think, never react

Never question authority, never suspect

Never trip off of why what matters to us

always seem unimportant, and never get love

Why it's never any money for the school support

But it's fallin out the sky for these corporate wars

[Chorus][Paris]They never give real shit space to shine

Just donkey-ass niggaz on assembly line

Cookie cutter pop-slutter make music designed

to pedal Coca-Cola, Motorola and Sprite

No love for the Enemy with video play

But they give Flav a show to take the focus away

from the realest group ever made, whaddya say

when to them it's Eminem that's goin down as the greatest?

When the plan is a shame like we makin a choice

Understand it's a scam who get handed a voice

And it's only a few and they decide in advance

Like votin for the President and both of them fam

All that "God bless America, and nobody else"

But I can smell racism, however it's dealt

Know the real shit never miss, see how it's felt

All around the world, hear the people cryin for help

[Chorus][Outro: Paris]A, coincidence ex-cons can't vote

A, coincidence they can't get no work

A, coincidence that they can't hold heat

Now they know that they enemy don't look like me

A, coincidence that we shit out of luck

The consequence of coincidences all add up

When you never know the reason and you're set up to suffer

The offense is coincidence is never the cause

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
