[Intro] (Heavy 808 beat kicks in) (Record scratch: "Fresh!" "D-D-D-Dance!") [Vocoder: Breakdance! Breakdance!] ​[Verse 1: Long Scratch & Vocal Chop Section] (Scratch: "A-A-Ain't No... Ain't No...") Out in the street, you don’t survive by being weak (Scratch: "Check it!") This is the time, walls were made for us to climb Don’t you try to lock the doors, wait, we’re breaking down the doors And we’re prepared to fight, yeah, yeah! ​[Pre-Chorus] Something to prove, it’s more than just a dream come true (Deep bubbling synth bass swell) ​[Chorus] Ain’t no holding us, no holding us No one does it better Ain’t no holding us, no holding us Life doesn’t matter ​[Verse 2: Long Instrumental Section] (Heavy ARP Odyssey & Pro-One Bass Solo / Analog Sequence / 808 Percussion only) ​[Verse 3] Nothing to do, no playing games or being used We have waited far too long, for this moment to arrive [Vocoder: The time is now] ​[Bridge 1: Super Scratch & Vocal Chop Section] (Record Scratch: "A-A-A-Ain't no...") (Vocal Chop: "H-H-H-Holding...") (High Speed Scratch: "Us! Us! Us! Us!") (Word Scratch: "B-B-B-Break! D-D-D-Dance!") (Backspin sound: "Wh-wh-wh-what!?") (Vocal Chop: "Check it out! Fresh!") [Vocoder: A... I... N... T... NO... HOLD... ING...] (Heavy Scratch: "G-G-G-Go!") ​[Verse 4] Concrete stage under the streetlights' glow Spinning like a cyclone, putting on a show Electric soul moving through every vein Breaking the gravity, breaking the chain ​[Verse 5] (Turntable Scratch: "Go Turbo! Go!") Turbo’s sliding, spinning on the broom Ozone’s flying, lighting up the room From the sidewalk to the silver screen The baddest crew that you’ve ever seen ​[Verse 6] (Heavy Funk Guitar Scratches) Step in the circle, show 'em what you got Headspin, windmill, give it all you've shot No permission needed, we own the night In the heat of the battle, we shine so bright ​[Verse 7] (Vocal Scratch: "O-O-O-Ozone!") Ozone, show 'em how the street feels! Turbo, spin 'em like the chrome wheels! Kelly's dancing, breaking every rule Old school spirit, keeping it cool ​[Bridge 2: Street Shout-out] (Beat intensifies) Dance, Turbo, Dance! Spin, Ozone, Spin! The street is ours, we’re gonna win! [Vocoder: No... Holding... Us...] ​[Verse 8] Look at the crowd, they’re feeling the heat Heartbeat syncing with the sound of the street No more waiting, the future is here We’re the masters of the atmosphere ​[Verse 9] (Heavy "Bu-yo-bu-yo" synth bass solo) Every pop, every lock, every single move Is a testament to the funky groove We don't need a stage, we don't need a floor Just a piece of cardboard, then we want more! ​[Verse 10] Ain't no holding, ain't no stopping The bass is pumping, the crowd is popping Final round, we're taking the crown The kings of the street in this whole town! ​[Chorus] Ain’t no holding us, no holding us No one does it better Ain’t no holding us, no holding us Life doesn’t matter ​[Outro] (Heavy scratching: "Ain't no... Ain't no... Holding us!") [Vocoder: Break... break... breakdance...] (Long 808 fade out with cowbell and record wind-down)
