They know we do it for the culture
Reppin' we do it for the whole squad
We was down but we came back
We lost it all but we came right back yeah
They could never hold us back yeah
They could never hold us no
Can't hold us back cause it's in our D.N.A. (In our D.N.A.)
Got our ancestor inside us they strived and they paved the way (Paved the way)
Went from kings and queens to slavery
Shackles and chains they prayed ya see
Gave us a better life
The ultimate sacrifice yeah (Sacrifice)
Mandela, ended apartheid and he wasn't free
Sojourner, she told the trust and sued successfully (And that's a fact)
So we can
Be the change that we wanna see
No excuse
Can't be our own worst enemy (Enemy)
We gotta
Do betta
Togetha
No matta
What they say so our kids won't go astray (Woo!)
We gotta change they mindset
Cause it's still hard to be Black
But we got the ability
To reshape our own destiny (Our own destiny)
Can't hold us back
No, no, no
Can't hold us back
We the best to ever do it got the proof and that's a fact (And that's a fact)
Melaninated down to my soul, so this Black ain't neva crackin'
Put my people to the test you know we neva lackin' (Neva lackin')
They know we do it for the culture
Reppin' we do it for the whole squad
We was down but we came back
We lost it all but we came right back yeah
They could never hold us back yeah
They could never hold us no
When you was born they said that you'd neva make it (You'd neva make it)
The plan was take away the fathers then defund education (Education)
They rather invest in them prisons
High school you wouldn't finish
In the streets broke Grandma heart
She said "Baby don't be a menace"
Down on her knees she prayed
Hopin' ya find ya way (Find ya way)
That you, get back in school
And then you'd graduate (Graduate)
And then, to their surprise
Eighteen and still alive
Her love, she wrapped you in
A blessing in disguise (In disguise)
We gotta
Do betta
Togetha
No matta
What they say so our kids won't go astray (Go astray)
We gotta change they mindset
Cause it's still hard to be Black
But we got the ability
To reshape our own destiny (Our own destiny)
Can't hold us back
No, no, no
Can't hold us back
We the best to ever do it got the proof and that's a fact (And that's a fact)
Melaninated down to my soul, so this Black ain't neva crackin'

They know we do it for the culture
Reppin' we do it for the whole squad
We was down but we came back
We lost it all but we came right back yeah
They could never hold us back yeah
They could never hold us no
