Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Handcuffs off my wrists, I've had enough of all of these cuts
Voices in my head try to tell me I'm stuck in the mud
Surrounded by melanaliens, I see stars in the dust
Hungry's an understatement, I'm on the front line for more lunch
[Verse 2]
The Government must be mad if they think we don't notice
Clocked the devision, hella revision for these protests
Couple people wanna jump the bridge, they're looking like go next
You're gonna need more than a mask for SARS, this ain't no moment
[Verse 3]
I had to channel the powers of Ogun and Gotenks
No more acting like I no vex
Third eye, I feel the spirits saying let go of the old stress
Be ready to take bold steps, we're going for gold next
[Verse 4]
Your demons are not mine
Don't test me, don't cross that line
Twisted games and twisted lies
I won't fall for it, 'cause you will never
You cannot, you cannot hold me
[Verse 5]
Can't hold me back (No)
Can't hold me back (No way)
Can't hold me back (No)
Can't hold me back (Mm mm)
Can't hold me back (No)
Can't hold me back (No way)
Can't hold me back (No way)
Can't hold me back
[Verse 6]
Can't hold be back hakunakundi bata
Untouchable like mandem nebasa
Pick up the tempo faster faster
All that chat but hauna basa
Man don't work then there's no sadza
Manna man came from sadza
I came from dust then back, fam
To the fire I'm accustomed
Took it, I moulded and shaped it
You took it, got burnt, then blamed them
They say that we're rookies, but we got the rockies that pay them
Burning the fire, manna made men
I take it, I burn it comprende
Got nuff gold from kwekwe
Can't trust hurumende
Nigerian givin' 'em besse
[Verse 7]
Your demons are not mine
Don't test me, don't cross that line
Twisted games and twisted lies
I won't fall for it, 'cause you will never
You cannot, you cannot hold me
[Verse 8]
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
[Verse 9]
Won fe da mi duro, won fe da mi duro
Sugbon omo ba ni mi
Won o le to
Ko sin ton le se
Dem jus de denge de pose
Ika ese mewa on di road
Me I no go stop, I no go slow
Mode teshumole as I go
Tan ba fe kon to me wo
Na today dem go know
Zu get di Afropower
Juju go bother my foes
Won't be no sweat off my nose
Ancestors left man the code to buss
Through any op in my path
I dun said it so dem man shoulda known from the start
You cannot, you cannot hold me
[Verse 10]
Your demons are not mine (Your demons are not mine)
Don't test me, don't cross that line (Don't test me, don't cross that line)
Twisted games and twisted lies (Twisted games and twisted lies)
I won't fall for it, 'cause you will never
You cannot, you cannot hold me
[Verse 11]
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
[Verse 12]
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
Can't hold me back
[Verse 13]
Iwa vakamboezda
Kundibata hapana
Mwana aenda shangwari
Tafaramba kudara, hapana anondinmisa panapa
