They Can't Hold Me / Rafters (feat. E$kimo AP)

Remember they call all geniuses crazy first
I am more than a rapper who drop a crazy verse
I am more than a producer with some rhythm to him
My words to linger in they soul, and now they living through em
You ever tried to live yo dreams out wide eyed?
Rapping in public now they looking at you side eyed
I came coming back even when they would doubt me
They put they city on, me I rep the whole county, Broward!

They can't hold me, nah
They can't hold me, nah
Said I been running, I been running, I been running, I been running
Said I been running, I been running, I been running, I been running
They can't hold me, nah, nah

My future bright but the boy got a story past
Me and brothers got a bond that forever last
It's tears you never seen dropped cause you see us laugh
Legend like explaining symbols all through a bar graph
And that graph say, I shouldn't be alive
That it's a miracle that I be seeing 25
Educated, intelligent and I keep my pride
On the road to riches but I feel I barely hit my stride
How does one cope with the feeling of you being stagnant
When your passion feeling far but feel like you can grab it
For that reason alone I been scared of attachment
Because you keep breaking your heart, you bound to lose some fragments
Pain will have someone innocent have em running rampant
Sometimes I'm angry I ain't on, because I know my talents
Weight of the world on your shoulders how do you find a balance
Cause when I needed me some help all of y'all was absent

They can't hold me, nah
They can't hold me, nah
Said I been running, I been running, I been running, I been running
Said I been running, I been running, I been running, I been running
They can't hold me, nah, nah

Rafters

You know, our jerseys gon be in the rafters next to one of the greatest cause we are one of the greatest
OTR, Uh!

They say that all we could do was sports and music
Little do they know that really they was forcing movements
I love to be told I can't do it
Just to prove them suckas wrong I killed the game man view it
This the first moment, when you looking at yo jersey
Hours of practicing just to prove yourself worthy
And in 1994 a future legend was born
Picked up a pen in '08 then a weapon was formed
They was expecting the norm, till I flipped they heads around
I got fam counting on me I could never let em down
I could never walk around here, with my head down
Cause that's the quickest way as royalty that you could lose your crown, I'm a king

And I want you dudes to know that
We certified from the bottom up through the whole tri county area
Broward what's up, uh!

Started from the bottom, worked into the middle
Penny for my thoughts, but now it raised into a nickel
Currently I'm on a wave to make it all triple
Now I'm laughing to the bank, boy I could barely giggle
I was broke as a joke, curved by every chick that I wanted
Now that I got it what I'm supposed to do, not flaunt it?
Make you feel it in your heart, feel it in your endocrine
And if you don't feel that there, must be on that crystalline
I could write a book you in tune with every chapter
And know this is a fact all the comp is not a factor
I'm on it every night hustling until we paid
Until my jersey on the rafters right next to D Wade, know it's crazy!
