Nappy Roots – Ain't Gon Stop lyrics

[Chorus]
They tell us no, but we ain’t gonn stop saying yes
We gotta keep on marching this road
Till we make it to the top,
And we ain’t gonn stop, no we ain’t gonn stop, no
No we ain’t gonn stop, no, no we ain’t gonn stop, no
Till we make it to the top
And we ain’t gonn stop, no we ain’t gonn stop, no

Yesterday we made it through but what about tomorrow
Everything we thought was wrong we locked it in a bottle
The world we from to many coming into pain and sorrow
Dollar can I borrow, yep, yep that is the motto
Follow your heart and you can never get the wrong direction
Listen to yourself before you ask someone for they suggestion
If any question, raise your hand and make it known
No, no, no you not alone
Come on and sing right along
You have to master what’s internal first and shout it out
We gotta help each other up and build without a doubt
Bizness still the same the projects…
Rise above this pety and don’t worry set it hit to hit
Look how far we came and tame the fame to keep a grip
Trust in him will never fail, what we lack is strong black males
To teach the youth, that’s why we need to speak the truth
Nappy’s only part of it, but we can’t forget the rules

[Chorus]
They tell us no, but we ain’t gonn stop saying yes
We gotta keep on marching this road
Till we make it to the top,
And we ain’t gonn stop, no we ain’t gonn stop, no
No we ain’t gonn stop, no, no we ain’t gonn stop, no
Till we make it to the top
And we ain’t gonn stop, no we ain’t gonn stop, no

Suit for my martin dukes, pops he can come too
I ain’t scared to hate you for snakes I got a mongoose
Freeword got my back, everend got my back
Bigweather randy was with me before my similac
A town’s where I live, ky where I grew
…ville is where I’m going, till this day I put it on
Plan to show the world to my people who ain’t never flown
Hit the hood exclusive kids take em where they never gone
Mind on my partners on parole, help em get along
Grab me a single mother, take her out to buy a home
Roxanne Adams be the angel that I’m leaning on
Even when I’m weak be the reason I be singing strong
Elevate your mind up, straighten up your spine cause
Heaven’s up above and you can’t know when your time come
Sweet potato pie, whip cream and I’m killing it
Man it be the simple things in life that be the realest shit

[Chorus]
They tell us no, but we ain’t gonn stop saying yes
We gotta keep on marching this road
Till we make it to the top,
And we ain’t gonn stop, no we ain’t gonn stop, no
No we ain’t gonn stop, no, no we ain’t gonn stop, no
Till we make it to the top
And we ain’t gonn stop, no we ain’t gonn stop, no

Unstoppable forces, immovable objects
Circumstances force us to move out the projects
This a slow process, but there’s no progress
Without struggle, frederic douglas
That’s before the drugs hit,
Banging pac in my uncle’s ’87 cutlass
Smoking out, screaming thugging only god can judge us
If everybody does they part like assembly line
We’ll eat when it’s dinner time, sprinting to the finish line
It feels better breaking bread with your brethren
Individually we hell, but together we heaven
Use the open door policy to exit whenever
That’s the only way the family ties can ever be settled
It’s nappy forever, in capital letters
Like birds of a feather, we flocking together
I ride for my fellows, still close shots
Taking ours off top, let’s march on the hop
Can’t stop, till we make it to the top

[Chorus] x 2
They tell us no, but we ain’t gonn stop saying yes
We gotta keep on marching this road
Till we make it to the top,
And we ain’t gonn stop, no we ain’t gonn stop, no
No we ain’t gonn stop, no, no we ain’t gonn stop, no
Till we make it to the top
And we ain’t gonn stop, no we ain’t gonn stop, no
