You don't remember what to say, don't remember what to do
|
You don't remember where to go, don't remember what to choose,
|
You will, you steal, you feel, you'll kneel
|
|
Down down down down
|
I ain't gonna kneel on down, I ain't gonna kneel on down
|

|
|
Seen the rain cloud followed me for years
|
But never would let it bother me
|
Now when the lightning cracks
|
I think I would never be where I'm at
|
Cause it had an impact growing up
|
Think back I was way too young then to know enough
|
About the liberty my mum had given me
|
Then the reaper stole her soul [?],
|
My first friend I ever knew of
|
The worst thing forgot about him when I grew up,
|
Cause when we went and moved away to Broom, Perth
|
Wasn't doing much, not for the two of my parents,
|
Staring the journey in the eye,
|
We drove 4 days and then 3 nights and just like that
|
We started a new life and just like that
|
On a bus watching fights, and maybe we'd fight back
|
Till one of them stayed down, it wasn't the right track
|
If this is my playground, the day drowned out
|
The years passed by now just found out
|
My mum and dad needed time out,
|
Why now, we just settling in and then we fly out, never together again
|
Could have severed a limb with the pain,
|
Could have pointed the blame but I will not kneel
|
|
Down down down down
|
I ain't gonna kneel on down, I ain't gonna kneel on down
|
[x2]
|
|
I was twelve nah actually I think I was thirteen,
|
Well darker the day that I first seen
|
The hell mark in the arm of my friend couldn't tell
|
But it felt like a part of me ended
|
Depended on crew to lead the way
|
They sent the wrong message and lead us astray
|
I was able to see the phase was fatal,
|
Some crave the painful life and they pay full price
|
For their action, addiction, attraction
|
Every little restriction fell through the cracks in the pavement
|
A slave to the underwhelmed,
|
Wasn't one to tell them that it was dumb as hell,
|
And the summer melt them so they stayed in the shade,
|
Get burnt playing with fire, get cut playing with razors,
|
Amazing how all changes,
|
Amazing how all the popular bullies became lamers,
|
It's a page in the chapter of the living,
|
Have to put in practice when your rap's unforgiven,
|
But far the times, stars inline, then you missed your chance
|
But you can not kneel down
|
|
Down down down down
|
I ain't gonna kneel on down, I ain't gonna kneel on down
|
[Repeat until the end]
