Nas, Megaski - You Can't Stop Us Now lyrics

From Willie Lynch to Willie Hutch, right on
We Superfly made Gucci the shit, Louie too
Suit's and ties
Player trophies, pray to Goldie
Picture wax museums full of Black
Panth's and triple OGs
Aunt Jemina hoes, historic horse shit
Girls from long time ago
Stagecoach with the horse, kid
Witchdoctors, good ol' pickpockets
Sip moonshine, so-called coons, shines
And darkies
I love y'all, pyramids to cotton fields
To Wrigley Fields
Forgotten men who did get killed
Crispus Attucks, the first blasted
Peace to the rich lady purse
Snatcher shot in the back
I know your hunger kid
I know they hung your dad
Burnt ya mama crib, I know that hurt you bad
Minstrel shows
From gold to shackles and back to gold
We act like we home, matter of fact
We are home
Bad attitudes, octoroon skin tones
Slave food turned to soul food
Collards to neck bones
Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag
Bet she had a nigga with her
To help her old ass!

As James Baldwin says:
"You can only be destroyed by
Believing that you really are
What the white world considers - a nigga"

Ohh, no matter how hard you try
You can't stop us now (oh, no matter)
No matter how, hard you try
You can't stop us now (no)

Can't be stopped yo, on Dateline
The other night they showed hate crimes
Gave a blood time cause he
Fought with his canine
Beastiality, humane society
Go to China, see how they dine
See what they eat
Better yet, ask PETA, whoever
Which animal makes suede? If not for suede
Would you have survived the Dark Ages?
Cannibal ways of the ancient Caucasians
Stare you like you're steak tartar
Pinot noir
David Star on the chain of 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
And stop our money comin' but you
Can't escape us - haters

Ohh, no matter how hard you try
You can't stop us now (oh, no matter)
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop us now (no)
You can't stop us now
