Dave Parkin - Down lyrics

[Intro] 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 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 [Hook][x2] Down down down down I ain't gonna kneel on down, I ain't gonna kneel on down [Verse 1] 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 pa**ed 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 [Hook][x2] [Verse 2] 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 direction, 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 [Hook][Repeat until then end]
