People Under The Stairs - Can't Hold It Back lyrics

In fame we don't lust in funk we do trust The critics dissed us, the crowd kept clapping "Can't hold it back, I-" Fell in love with life pourin liquor for my buddies We the rulers of the night father time can't stop me In the 80's I copy Joseph and D now it's the capitol P Living life like no tomorrow with my OG pa** What's the task I'll take it on the breakbeats breaking "Can't hold it back, I-" Only a few have seen me sober loved ones and all We do it off the wall 8 albums for the stunner like what my nig The p is a big with no chance for parole And when we hit the stage we bust out swole We do it for the half man do it for the whole Doin it for mike turner and chris portugal We a brand my man and some cram to understand From hanging out with chuck d to taking shrooms in Japan We march to our own drum beat discreet street poet Only give it to the one's who got our back ya'll know it We never give it up unless its the funk or respect Where its due this goin out to my west LA crew Who smoke the boo and buggaloo with regards to p crew In fame we don't lust the funk we do trust The critics dissed us, but the crowd kept clapping In fame we don't lust the funk we do trust The labels dissed us, but the crowd kept clapping In fame we don't lust the funk we do trust The radio dissed us, but the crowd kept clapping In fame we don't lust the funk we do trust That label dissed us, but the crowd kept clapping "Can't hold it back, I-" Am forced to smile city lights twinkle in the setting sun Sets across the square miles I turn from the window in a thoughtful pose No shame in a little fame laying out my clothes Gin from the mini bottle, pillows on the bed I look around and try to lock this moment in my head I'm feeling like you can't be stopped when you're near the top A job from a hobby, now drinks in the lobby We'll let the valet rally up the coups for the troops Rolling windows down with the sound banging out the sunroof It must be a dream I wake up in a cold sweat Cause sampling cold sweat couldn't cut cold checks could it? If so then meeting mike was like a lightning strike Crashing down to earth loud sparks lighting up the night There will never be another in the same place and time I raise a toast to the fans online and in line And at the shows and there before because it's sold out But we dont hold out hold back or reroute So tonight I'm opening a tab, it's on me From a soft chair watch the stars twinkle on the sea A menu for the eating moment's fleeting but its beautiful Cause life is beautiful the people keep the music dutiful "But the crowd kept clapping" x5
