Art of War & Sin — Can't Hold Me Back feat. Art of War lyrics

Lyrics

Everythin' is gonna be okay
I’ll be damned if they damned hold me back
Remember me from back in the days
No way they can hold me back («Back in the day»)
Everythin' is gonna be okay
Gonna be okay, gonna be okay (Yeah)
Remember when they tried to please
I’ll be damned, they can’t hold me back («Back in the day»)
Let’s take it back to ninety-six
Ten years before I’d write and before I’d mix
Uh, weren’t even Art Of War, three hyped kids
Rap patterns, I built tight kicks
Snares and hats over samples, my hair in plaits
A handful prepared perhaps
I had a flarin' fact, this beat’s been there and back
with rap
See, I though I would fly
With the music under my wings, I waved it goodbye
It’s funny now 'cause I see 'em at our shows
In the front rows, hands up, nodding like they know
Now I know that they know and probably relate
So if I’m doing good, it’ll be okay
My life is real, you can hear it when it plays
Sendin' shivers down your arm, forever when you hear the break
Everythin' is gonna be okay
I’ll be damned if they damned hold me back
Remember me from back in the days
No way they can hold me back («Back in the day»)
Everythin' is gonna be okay
Gonna be okay, gonna be okay (Yeah)
Remember when they tried to please
I’ll be damned, they can’t hold me back («Back in the day»)
I’ve never been held back in my life
Never even thought once, even a hunch that I might
Die, oh yeah, I cry and cry
But when I’m high think of why I whine
But trust me, I know that time flies by
And only now, I’m chillin', thinkin' back in my mind
That it’s worth it, we’ve grown up, you’ve heard it
My home, I’ve served it and I know that I’m perfect
Others did it and now admitted
Shout up in the crowd and say «Wow, he ripped it»
But how can change ya so quickly?
Some say simply all up in the big scene
But I know that ain’t right
They’re just more open than my eyes wakin' up in the daylight
Or drivin' in the rain, right or left
I’m at the end of the road, I’m thinking «No man, I won’t rest»
Everythin' is gonna be okay
I’ll be damned if they damned hold me back
Remember me from back in the days
No way they can hold me back («Back in the day»)
Everythin' is gonna be okay
Gonna be okay, gonna be okay (Yeah)
Remember when they tried to please
I’ll be damned, they can’t hold me back («Back in the day»)
I never dream of better days, I made the most of what I had in my head
Which wasn’t much but had my family, for that I was glad
Or we blazed, had that in a bag, all those days in Essendon
Thought we were making tracks that we mad
At the time, would always feel like we were havin' to rhyme
I got your back, whatever happens, it’s fine
Capitalise, each came back
For rappin' demise at times, we were just happy revivin'
Now we on the internet, watchin' how the ends stack up
Life’s too short for whingin' and bitchin'
Get spittin' the writtens got us in the better position
If I’m livin', I’m winnin', God willin'
We wage a war on the industry, they can’t stop the killin'
I was broke as hell with a jersey and a
I was on the pension, tryna get her up off that
Everythin' is gonna be okay
I’ll be damned if they damned hold me back
Remember when they tried to please
I’ll be damned, they can’t hold me back («Back in the day»)
Everythin' is gonna be okay
Gonna be okay, gonna be okay («Back in the day»)
Remember when they tried to please
I’ll be damned, they can’t hold me back («Back in the day»)
Everythin' is gonna be okay
I’ll be damned if they damned hold me back
Remember me from back in the days
No way they can hold me back («Back in the day»)
Everythin' is gonna be okay
Gonna be okay, gonna be okay («Back in the day»)
Remember when they tried to please
I’ll be damned, they can’t hold me back («Back in the day»)
Everythin' is gonna be okay
I’ll be damned if they damned hold me back
Remember me from back in the days
No way they can hold me back («Back in the day»)
Everythin' is gonna be okay
Gonna be okay, gonna be okay («Back in the day»)
Remember when they tried to please
I’ll be damned, they can’t hold me back («Back in the day»)
