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
from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis (Ft. Ray Dalton) – Can't Hold Us Lyrics on Rap Genius
He is going to promote his music across the country, because the labels where he is won’t listen. He is telling them to watch out and they have no idea what they are saying. What they tell him doesn’t matter, they can’t tell him nothing
He’d rather take the two cents of his fans, “the people” instead of a corporation. His relationship with his fans is direct. All communication on every social network, website, youtube vids, are all put out there by Macklemore himself, Ryan Lewis, or someone from their hand-picked team. They’re blowing up virally and taking over the underground scene because of how much they push to connect with the fans.
