Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So many times you tried to cut we
You wanna tear we down but you can't touch we
We ain't invincible
But Lord knows we are beautiful and blessed (Check the affirmative)
[Chorus]
Brotha, don't let nobody hold you back
No, no, no
Don't let nobody hold ya
Control ya or mold ya
Brotha, don't let nobody hold you back (Don't let nobody)
No, no, no
[Verse 2]
Am I my brother's keeper?
Yes, I am!
[Verse 3]
So many times you tried to burn we
You wanna break we down
Use and discard
We ain't invincible
But Lord knows we're magnificent and blessed
Check for the positive
[Chorus]
Brotha, don't let nobody hold you back (Don't let nobody)
No, no, no
Don't let nobody hold you back
Keep on moving on
Brotha, don't let nobody hold you back
No, no, no
Don't let nobody
Hold you never, no
Brotha, don't let nobody hold you back (Don't let nobody)
No, no, no
[Bridge]
If nobody told you, brother
I'm here to let you know that
You're so wonderful
You're so marvelous
You're so beautiful
You're splendid
You're fabulous
Brilliantly blessed in every way
Y'all can't touch we
[Outro]
(Brotha, don't let nobody hold you back) Control ya or mold ya
(Brotha, don't let nobody hold you back) You're your own individual, so special
(Brotha, don't let nobody hold you back) Don't let nobody hold ya, control ya or mold ya
(Brotha, don't let nobody hold you back) You're your own individual
(Brotha, don't let nobody hold you back) You're so special, brotha
(Brotha, don't let nobody hold you back) I really love you always
(Brotha, don't let nobody hold you back) I, I know that we can make it
(Brotha, don't let nobody hold you back) It's a guarantee, believe in me
(Brotha, don't let nobody hold you back) I know we can make it
Whatever you want, you can have it
(Brotha, don't let nobody hold you back) Have a little faith and some goals and direction
(Brotha, don't let nobody hold you back) Oh brother, you're my hero
(Brotha, don't let nobody hold you back) If you didn't know
