Send "Can't Stop This" ringtone to your cell

who is it? there comes a time

Last of the red hot lovin' emcees

Who came up poor grits and government cheese

The only thing i ever really loved in my life was a mic

Some of my niggaz fell in love with mp's come on

Work the bass nigga juggle them keys

I'm tryin'a get a piece of this government green

And smack 'em in the melon with another lp

Come on help a couple people in the struggle get free

We from the block where people stay prepared to rock

And it's hard 'cause opportunity be scared to knock

And mo' people in the 'hood found dead from cops

Than guns that drop that sprayed off random shots

But whatcha know good people say they in the hood fo' good

You ain't a prisoner the world got mo' to it

Sky's the limit it don't take but a minute

Don't fear for your people nigga my 'hood's yo' 'hood

Yeah we did it

I know in these tryin' times it feels confusin'

That's why i came to y'all to dance to the music

Unless we face it first and try not to lose it

Even if it gets worse they can't stop this

Can't stop this i want my peoples to rock this

Bang this music in your speakers and boxes

Legs and users 'bout as a deep as my thoughts is

Sit back and i'mma paint you a portrait

This stuff can make you think you are lost

This shit can have you exhausted

Just picture the planet and imagine it's yours kid

Don't ever let nobody knock you outta your orbit

I never seen a bridge we couldn't shuffle across it

We got a lotta people livin' a life that's pure trivia

Real hip hop i ain't tryin'a get rid of ya

Can't have that because here come the city of philly

Put an end to all the trivia really

Where i'm walkin' er'ybody ain't pretty or friendly

It's work my whole life they ain't give me a penny

Comin' up between a rock and a hard watchin' for god

People hip hop and with no option at all

Yo it's how it's goin' down

I know in these tryin' times it feels confusin'

That's why i came to y'all to dance to the music

Unless we face it first and try not to lose it

Even if it gets worse they can't stop this

We bring the [incomprehensible] part of raps the special sounds

The robe's long enough to be considered a gown

Thought's pen is sharp enough to be considered a crown

When the plate come take some pass it around

It's the last of the hip hop lovin' emcees

In front of an audience that never been pleased

I'm comin' from all the streets that never been cleaned

And speakin' for any faith that never been seen

This debeneir style of my words is high-caliber

Speakin' my mind for every day that's on the calendar

'cause i'll'a been quiet about as long as i can handle it

Walked a mile in these boots that i'm standin' in

Mellow soul brother with his lyrical dean on

The stages i'm seen on mic i fiend on

When it's all full of soul that's when it means more

I never hesitate to give a shoulder to lean on yo

Check it out man

I know in these tryin' times it feels confusin'

That's why i came to y'all to dance to the music

Unless we face it first and try not to lose it

Even if it gets worse they can't stop this
