Hey, hey, hey
Good to see you, come on, dude, let's go
Yeah, let's go
Alright, alright, okay
Uh, alright, okay, alright, okay
Return of the Mack
Get 'em, what it is, what it does, what it is, what it isn't
Looking for a better way to get up out of bed
Instead of getting on the Internet and checking on who hit me, get up
Thrift shop, pimp-strut walkin'
Little bit of humble, little bit of cautious
Somewhere between like Rocky and Cosby
Sweater game, nope-nope, y'all can't copy, yeah
Bad, moonwalking, and this here is our party
My posse's been on Broadway, and we did it our way
Grown music, I shed my skin and put my bones
Into everything I record to it, and yet I'm on
Let that stage light go and shine on down
Got that Bob Barker suit game and plinko in my style
Money, stay on my craft and stick around for those pounds
But I do that to pass the torch and put on for my town
Trust me on my I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T shit, hustlin'
Chasing dreams since I was 14
With the four-track, bussin'
Halfway 'cross that city with the backpack, fat cat, crushing labels out here
Nah, they can't tell me nothin' (hey, hey, hey)
We give that to the people, spread it across the country, labels out here (hey, hey, hey, oh)
Nah, they can't tell me nothin' (hey, hey, hey)
We give it to the people, spread it across the country (hey, hey, hey, oh)
Can we go back? This is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us
Can we go back? This is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us
Now, can I kick it? Thank you, yeah, I'm so damn grateful
I grew up really wanting gold fronts, but that's what you get when Wu-Tang raised you
Y'all can't stop me, go hard like I got a 808 in my heartbeat
And I'm eating at the beat like you gave a little speed to a great white shark on Shark Week, raw
Time to go off, I'm gone, deuces, goodbye, I got a world to see
And my girl, she wanna see Rome, Caesar'll make you a believer
Nah, I never ever did it for a throne
That validation comes from giving it back to the people, now sing a song, and it goes like
Raise those hands, this is our party (hey, hey, hey)
We came here to live life like nobody was watching (hey, hey, hey, oh)
I got my city right behind me, if I fall, they got me (hey, hey, hey)
Learn from that failure, gain humility, and then we keep marching, I said (hey, hey, hey)
Can we go back? This is the moment (whoo)
Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us
Can we go back? This is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us
But so we put our hands up
But so we put our hands up (whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh)
Whoa-oh-oh (let's go)
Na, na, na-na, na, na-na, na (uh-huh)
Hey (and all my people say)
Na, na, na-na, na, na-na, na (hey, hey, that's right)
Hey (here we go, all right, uh, and all my people say)
Na, na, na-na, na, na-na, na (you do it, Ray)
Oh (let's go, and all my people say)
Na, na, na-na, na, na-na, na
Mackle-uh, uh, uh, uh, more
Can we go back? This is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us
Can we go back? This is the moment
Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us
