(Intro)
The building is on fire
(Verse)
I want it here, I want it right
I want to hold it close and tight
I want to put it on my belt so it can help me sleep at night
Nightly freestyles on the regular
I see this verse affecting you
You got it in you too but not in the person next to you
You don't understand what this route is all about
You always lying in the shade, while we dying in the drought
But it's ok, because I've been there done that
I use to think this world was perfect
Until it knocked me on my back
Until it took all of my snacks
Until it robbed my fitted caps
You the bully I'm the nerd, I see that opposites attract
Listen Vadacy, the world is run by greed
You said you hate the money but the money is what you need yea
Yea I know. But I just want to play my banjo
Everybody claim they down but up and leave when bands low
But it's ok. Because I've been there done that
I use to think this world was perfect until it knocked me on my back huh
(Chorus)
I use to be a nice guy
Until they knocked me on my back
I use to ask folks for rides
Until they knocked me on my back
I use to look them in the eye
Until they knocked me on my back
Knocked me on my back
Until they knocked me on my back
I used to help them everyday
Until they knocked me on my back
I used to go out of my way
Until they knocked me on my back
Now I don't care what they say
Because they knocked me on my back
Knocked me on my back
Because they knocked me on my back
(Verse)
I used to care about this world
Until it knocked me on my back
Caught in all the winds and all the whirls
Trying to knock me on my back
It's always money that I lack
So I will not be coming back
I like the shirt, I like the pants but does the outfit come in black
They always want a piece of that
They always want a piece of mine
Sorry sir but you are whack so please stop wasting all my time
Wasting pennies, wasting dimes, send them boys to the dentist
Heard what you said but could you use it in a sentence
Stress on my brain make me grow a bald head
And I always play nice, but I want them all dead
In the middle of the night, thinking twice about your life
Is it worth it, is it worth it, is it worth it for the price
What's the purpose in the life
What's the purpose in the music
Finding what's real I just hope I don't loose it
Don't want to make a mil, I just want to eat a meal
Half the world loosing weight, while the other half is ill
(Chorus)
I use to be a nice guy
Until they knocked me on my back
I use to ask folks for rides
Until they knocked me on my back
I use to look them in the eye
Until they knocked me on my back
Knocked me on my back
Until they knocked me on my back
I used to help them everyday
Until they knocked me on my back
I used to go out of my way
Until they knocked me on my back
Now I don't care what they say
Because they knocked me on my back
Knocked me on my back
Because they knocked me on my back
