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 wheel, you steal
You feel, you kneel
Down, down, down, down
I ain't gonna kneel on down
And I won't gonna kneel on down, yeah
Down, down, down, down
Ain't clouds a-burring now
And I ain't gonna kneel on down, no
The same rain cloud followed me
For years but never would let it bother me
Now when the lightning cracks
Think I will 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 mama given me
Then the reaper stole the soul of Timothy
My first friend I ever knew of
The worst thing, forgot about him and I grew up
'Cause then we went and moved away to Broome
Perth wasn't doing much, not for the two of my
Parents staring the journey in the eye
We drove four days and then three nights
And just like that, we started a new life
And just like that, on a bus watching fights
A melee with five packs
'Til one of 'em stayed down, it wasn't the right track
If this is my playground, the day drowned out
Two years passed by and now I just found out
My mum and dad needed time out
Why now? We're just settling in
And then we fly out, never together again
Could've severed a limb with the pain
Could've 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
Down, down, down, down
Ain't clouds a-burring now
I ain't gonna kneel on down
I was twelve, nah, actually 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 led us astray
I was able to see the phase was fatal
Some craved the painful life and they paid full price
For their action, addiction, attraction
To every little restriction fell through the cracks
In the pavement, a slave to the underworld
Wasn't one to tell them that it was dumb as hell
And the summer melt them, said it stayed in the shade
Get found playing with fire, got playing with razors
Amazing how time changes
Amazing how all the popular bullies became laymans
It's a page in the chapter of the living
A riveting practice when your acts aren't forgiven
By Father Time, stars aligned and you missed your chance
But you cannot kneel
Down, down, down, down
I ain't gonna kneel on down
I ain't gonna kneel on down
Down, down, down, down
Ain't clouds a-burring now
I ain't gonna kneel on down
You feel
Down, down
I ain't gonna, I ain't gonna kneel on
I ain't down for no more, no more, no more
Down, down
Rain clouds a-burring now
And I ain't gonna kneel on down
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Went down
