Hook:
Dm Am
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
Dm Am
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
Verse 1:
Dm
The greatest B-Boy of all time, started from small crimes
While others had big tops I was slingin' small dimes
Am
Tryin' to make the come up, the blow used to numb up
A few G's a week, my clique used to sum up
Dm
Till my brother got locked up, my girl got knocked up
My closest homies each, got popped up and shot up
Am
And cops flood the block, no way to eat
So I dropped a half a G on a rented SP
Dm
1200 Sampler, and a Yamaha Four-Track
The bass from the lab used to blow the fuckin' door back
Am
While Ghost was doin' stick-ups, tryin' to make a vic' up
Waitin' outside for the Brinks truck to pick up
Dm
Nothing would work, so we're back to choppin' nicks up
Givin' grown ass women two vials for a dick suck
Am
When I was stressed I would head to the rest
Then the pads on the SP-12 got pressed
Dm
Makin' beats for the streets, so the family could eat
In '93, Wu-Tang Clan dropped their first LP
Am
We went platinum, yeah we flatten 'em
Pockets got fat and um, went and got Cap and 'em
Dm
Staten's on the map and um, Brooklyn Zoo is bombin' 'em
All around the world, Killa Bees start swarmin' 'em
Am
You can't stop us, you can't block us
Rock us or mock us, knock us or top us
Dm
Better sit back and watch us
Hook:
Am
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
Dm Am
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
Verse 2:
Can't stop me man
Dm
No matter how hard, you better go hard
So hard, if you gonna try and stop me now
Am
I be ruckus to rhythm like the blocks be wild
Bad enough I got the cops tryin' to lock me down
Dm
Can't nobody break my stride or shake my pride
Without a homicide, case and trial
Am
It's a long time comin', long nines bustin'
Cradle to the grave I be on my grind hustlin'
Dm
Sometimes when I think about it, have my mind buggin'
The shit that I been through, things that I've seen
Am
The chicks that I ran through, places I've been
I'm a victim of the very song I sing
Dm
That's how it is in the heart of it, most want no part of it
Some will soothe the pain through booze and narcotics
Am
I'm a hold my head, stay true to where my heart is
Either you pay with your life, or you pay dues and homage
Hook:
Dm Am
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
Dm Am
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
Dm Am
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
Dm Am
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
End on Dm
