Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now - Big Daddy Kane

Here we go, here we go on the smooth side 
Let's take a ride in stride and I'm the guide 
with the source, and of course - I don't wanna be the king or boss 
I just wanna get my point across 
Cause it's time to organize and open your eyes 
Realize, we on the rise 
to the climax, time to take charge 
Whoever said we can't live large? 
To seek out fortune without distortion 
and stop livin for just a small portion 
There is a move to make, we gotta take a chance to break 
all chains become awake 
Cause this is the new way, to be proud and brave 
and I ain't goin out like a slave 
In eighty-nine, I'm livin like a champ 
Step out my face, talkin bout a food stamp 
Child please, put it at ease 
Freeze, it's time to get paid in times like these 
We can't take shorts or take a loss 
So take it from the Kane and go for yours, because 

* Chorus * 

Uh-huh 
There, comes a time, where we can't be in the rear 
We gotta step up front, to get our share 
Make the change, cause we're not inferior 
For example, there was a black Ms. America 
Let's start to do for ourself 
We can't depend on no one else or the board of health 
So hold your own or else you're gonna find 
that if you play off of crime you go out like Aunt Jemimah 
We gotta put it in overdrive and strive to survive 
to stay alive, that's the reason I've 
came to, motivate us to the length 
Effort of strength makes you grow inch by inch 
Takin no mediums or small at all 
We gotta walk not crawl or else take a fall 
What used to be just hopes and thoughts 
are now in effect, and we can't take shorts, because 

* Chorus *
