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
