Cuatro nominaciones en los premios MTV Video Music Awards y un número 1 inmediato en la lista del Billboard norteamericano son las mejores pruebas de que el trabajo conjunto de Macklemore y Ryan Lewis ha sido mucho más que una buena idea. Ya se intuía con 'Wings', su anterior sencillo, pero este 'Can't Hold Us' ('No pueden pararnos') da además el salto al cine con el 'blockbuster' biográfico de Steve Jobs.
En España la canción también está gozando de mucho éxito. No ha llegado a número 1 como en Estados Unidos, Reino Unido y Australia, pero ya se encuentra entre las 30 más vendidas, una cifra a aplaudir sobre todo si tenemos en cuenta que el hip hop no es uno de los puntales comerciales de la música en nuestro país.
Return of the Mack, 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 me
Get up!fresh out pimp strut walking, little bit of humble, little bit of cautious
Somewhere between like rocky and cosby sweatergang nope nope y’all can’t copy
Yup. Bad, moonwalking, this here, is our party, my posse's been on broadway,
And we did it, our way.
Grown music, I shed my skin and put my bones into everything I record to it
And yet I’m on.
Let that stage light go and shine on down, got that Bob Barker suit game and plinko in my style.
Money, stay on my craft and stick around for those pounds,
But I do that to pass the torch and put on for my town
Trust me. On my I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T shit hustler,
Chasing dreams since I was 14 with the four track bussing halfway cross that city with the backpack, fat cat, crushing
Labels out here,
Nah they can’t tell me nothing
We give that to the people,
Spread it across the country
Labels out here,
Nah they can’t tell me nothing
We give it to the people,
Spread it across the country
Can 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
Can 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
nah, can I kick it? thank you. yeah I'm so damn grateful.
I grew up, really wanted gold fronts
But that’s what you get when wu tang raised you

Y’all can’t stop me, go hard like I got an 808 in my heart beat
And I’m eating at the beat like you gave a little speed to a great white shark on shark week
Raw. Tell me go up. Gone!
deuces goodbye. I got a world to see, and my girl she wanna see Rome,
Ceasar make you a believer. nah I never ever did it for a throne.
that validation comes from giving it back to the people. nah sing a song and it goes like
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 and then we keep marching ourselves
Can 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
Can 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
na na na na na na na na
and all my people say
x4
Ma-kle-more
Can 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
Can 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.
