[Verse One - Nas] From Willie Lynch to Willie Hutch, right on! We Supafly, made Gucci the shit, Louis too, suits and ties, playa trophies, pray to goldie Picture wax museums full of black pimps and triple O.G.'s Aunt Jemima hoes, historic horseshit, girls from long time ago Stagecoach with the horse kid Witchdoctors, good ol' pickpockets, sip moonshine So called coon, shines and darkies I love y'all Pyramids to cotton fields to Wrigley Fields Forgotten men who did get kill Crispus Attucks the first blasted Peace to the rich lady purse snatcher shot in the back I know you're hungry kid I know they hung your dad, burnt your mama crib I know that hurt ya bad Minstrel shows from gold to shackles and back to gold We act like we home, matter fact we are home Bad attitudes, octoroon skin tones Slave food turn to soul food, collards and neckbones Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag Bet she had a nigga with her to help her old ass [Last Poets] As James Baldwin says, you can only be destroyed by believing that you really are what the white world considers a "nigger" [Chorus - Eban Thomas] No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now [Verse Two - Nas] Yo on Dateline the other night they showed hate crimes Gave a blood time 'cause he fought with his K9 Beastiality, humane society Go to China see how they dine, see what they eat Better yet asks PETA whoever what animal makes suede If not for suede would you survive the Dark Ages? Cannibal ways of the anti-caucasians Slay ya like a steak tartar on pinot noir David star on the chain, Sammy Davis he helped pave the way for Southern crankers and them Harlem shakers Now we gettin our papers They try to censor the words that stop our money comin but you can't escape us, haters [Chorus - Eban Thomas] No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
