Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's so hard when people knock you down

And tell you that you're never gonna get a shot at glory

But that's when you rise to the challenge

'Cause it's your time, your moment, and nothing can stop us now

[Verse 2]

PTX, get up, what it is, what it does, what it is, what it isn't

Looking for a better way to get up out of bed

Instead of getting on the internet and checking a new hit get up

[Verse 3]

Thrift Shop, pimp strut walking, little bit of humble, little bit of cautious

Somewhere between like Rocky & Cosby sweater gang nope, nope y'all can't copy

Yup, Bad moonwalkin', this here is our party

My posse's been on Broadway, ha and we do it, our way

Grown music, I shed my skin and put my bones (Into everything I record)

And yep, yep, yep, yep, I'm on

[Verse 4]

Trust me on my I N D E P E N D E N T cause ha, slim chasin' dreams since we were 14

With the 4 track, bussing halfway 'cross that city with the backpack

Fat cat, crushing

[Verse 5]

Here we go back, this is the moment, tonight is the night

We'll fight till it's over, so we put our hands up

Like the ceiling can't hold us

Like the ceiling can't hold us

[Verse 6]

Here we go back, this is the moment, tonight is the night

We'll fight till it's over, we put our hands up

Like the ceiling can't hold us

Like the ceiling can't hold us

[Verse 7]

Nah, can I kick it? Thank you, yeah I'm so dang grateful

I grew up really wanted gold fronts but that's what you get

When Texas raised you

Y'all can't stop me, go hard like I got an 808 in my heartbeat

And I'm eatin' at the beat like I gave a little speed

To a Great White Shark on Shark Week

[Verse 8]

(Oh, raise those hands, this is our party)

(We came here to live life like nobody was watching)

(I got my city right behind me, if I fall, they got me)

(Learn from that failure, gain humility, keep marching)

[Verse 9]

Ha ha, here we go back, this is the moment, tonight is the night

We'll fight till it's over, so we put our hands up

Like the ceiling can't hold us

Like the ceiling can't hold us

[Verse 10]

(And so we put our hands up)

Let's go

[Verse 11]

Hey, and so we put our hands up

Whoa (And so we put our hands up)

C'mon

And so we put our hands up

[Verse 12]

Here we go back, this is the moment, tonight is the night

We'll fight till it's over, we put our hands up

Like the ceiling can't hold us (Like the ceiling can't hold us)

Like the ceiling can't hold us

[Verse 13]

Here we go back, this is the moment, tonight is the night

We'll fight till it's over, we put our hands up

Like the ceiling can't hold us

Like the ceiling can't hold us
