[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Em][F]
[Am][G][Em][F]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Return of the Mac, get em
What it [G]is, what it does, what it is, what it isn't
[Em]Looking for a better way to get up out of bed
Instead of [F]getting on the internet and
checking out who hit me, get [Am]up
Thrift shop, pimp strut walking
[G]Little bit of humble, little bit of cautious
[Em]Somewhere between like Rocky and Cosby
[F]Sweater game nope nope y'all can't copy
[Am]Yup, Bad, moonwalk[G]ing
This here, is our party
[Em]My posse's been on Broadway[F]
And we did it our way
[Am]Grown music
I shed my [G]skin and put my bones into
[Em]everything I record to it
[F]And yet I'm on
[Am]Let that stage light go and [G]shine on down
Got that [Em]Bob Barker suit game
and plin[F]ko in my style
[Am]Money, stay on my craft and stick
a[G]round for those pounds
But, I do [Em]that to pass the torch and put
[F]on for my town

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Am]Trust me, on my I-N-D-E- [G]P-E-N-D-E-N-T
shit [Em]hustlin'
Chasing dreams since [F]I was 14
With the [Am]four track bussing
[G]Halfway cross that city with the [Em]backpack
Fat cat, [F]crushing labels out [Am]here
Nah they can't tell me [G]nothing
We give that to the [Em]people
Spread it across the [F]country
Labels out here
Nah they can't tell me nothing
We give it to the people
Spread it across the country

[Chorus 1]
Can we [Am]go back, this is the mo[G]ment
Tonight is the [Em]night,
we'll fight till it's [F]over
So we put our hands [Am]up
like the ceiling can't [G]hold us
[Em]Like the ceiling can't hold [F]us
Can we [Am]go back, this is the mo[G]ment
Tonight is the [Em]night,
we'll fight till it's [F]over
So we put our hands [Am]up
like the ceiling can't [G]hold us
[Em]Like the ceiling can't hold [F]us

[Verse 2]
[Am]Now can I kick it, thank y[G]ou
Yeah I'm so damn grate[Em]ful
I grew up, really wanted gold fronts
But [F]that's what you get
when Wu-Tang raised [Am]you
Y'all can't stop me
Go [G]hard like I got an 808 in my heart [Em]beat
And I'm eating at the beat
like you gave a little
speed to a great white shark on shark week
[Am]Raw, time to go off, I'm gone!
[C]Deuces goodbye, I got a world to
[G]see, and my girl she wanna see Rome
[Am]Caesar make you a believer
[Am]Nah I never ever did it for a throne
[C]That validation comes from giving it
[G]back to the people
Nah sing a [Am]song and it goes like

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Am]Raise those hands, this [C]is our party
We came [G]here to live life
like no[Am]body was watching
I got my [Am]city right behind me,
if I [C]fall, they got me
Learn from that [G]failure gain humility
and then we keep marching I said

[Chorus 2]
Can we [Am]go back, this is the mo[G]ment
Tonight is the [Em]night,
we'll fight till it's [F]over
So we put our hands [Am]up
like the ceiling can't [G]hold us
[Em]Like the ceiling can't hold [F]us
Can we [Am]go back, this is the mo[G]ment
Tonight is the [Em]night,
we'll fight till it's [F]over
So we put our hands [Am]up
like the ceiling can't [G]hold us
[Em]Like the ceiling can't hold [F]us

[Interlude 1]
[Am][C][G][Am]
[Am][C][G][Am]
[Am][C][G][Am]
[Am][C][G][Am]

[Bridge 1]
Na na na na na na na na na, hey
And all my people say
Na na na na na na na na na, hey
And all my people say
Na na na na na na na na, oh
And all my people say
Na na na na na na na na na
Ma-ckle-e-e-e-e-more

[Chorus 3]
Can we [Am]go back, this is the mo[G]ment
Tonight is the [Em]night,
we'll fight till it's [F]over
So we put our hands [Am]up
like the ceiling can't [G]hold us
[Em]Like the ceiling can't hold [F]us
Can we [Am]go back, this is the mo[G]ment
Tonight is the [Em]night,
we'll fight till it's [F]over
So we put our hands [Am]up
like the ceiling can't [G]hold us
[Em]Like the ceiling can't hold [F]us
