Kanye West - Knock You Down lyrics

[Intro: Keri Hilson talking] A huh huh, not again Ohh, this ain't supposed to happen to me [Break: Kanye West] Keep rocking and keep knocking Whether you Louboutin-ed up or Reebok-in You see the hate that they serving on a platter So what we gonna have, dessert or disaster [Verse 1: Keri Hilson] I never thought I'd be in love like this When I look at you my mind goes on a trip Then you came in and knocked me on my face Feels like in I'm a race but I already won first place I never thought I'd fall for you as hard as I did You got me thinking bout our life, our house, and kids Every morning I look at you and smile Cause boy you came around and you knocked me down, knocked me down [Hook: Keri Hilson] Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down Just get back up, when it knocks you down, knocks you down Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down Just get back up, when it knocks you down, knocks you down [Verse 2: Ne-Yo] I never thought I'd hear myself say Y'all go ahead I think I'm going to kick it with my girl today I used to be commander-in-chief of my pimp ship flying high Til I met this pretty little missile, shot me out the sky Hey, so now I'm crashing Don't know how it happened But I know it feels so damn good Said if I could go back and make it happen faster Don't you know I would baby if I could Miss Independent, the load never too much, she helping me pull it She shot the bullet that ended that life I swear to you the pimp in me just died tonight Girl sometimes love [Hook] Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down Just get back up, when it knocks you down, knocks you down Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down Just get back up, when it knocks you down, knocks you down [Verse 3: Kanye West] Tell me now, can you make it past your Caspers So we can finally fly off into NASA You was always the cheerleader of my dream That seem to only date the head of football teams And I was the cla** clown that always kept you laughing We were never meant to be baby we just happened So please don't mess up the trick Hey Young World, I'm the new Slick Rick They say I move too quick but we can't let this moment pa** us Let the hourgla** pa** right into ashes Let the wind blow the ash right before my gla**es So I wrote this love letter right before my cla**es How could a goddess ask someone that's only average For advice, OMG, you listen to that b**h Woe is me baby this is tragic Cause we had it, we was magic I was flying now I'm crashing This is Bad, real bad, Michael Jackson Now I'm mad, real mad, Joe Jackson You should leave your boyfriend now, I'm gon' ask him [Verse 4: Keri Hilson] So you got to take the good with the bad, happy and the sad And let it bring a better future than I had in the past Oh, cause I don't want to make the same mistakes I did I don't want to fall back on my face again I'll admit it, I was scared to act to love's call And if it hits better make it worth the fall [Hook] Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down Just get back up, when it knocks you down, knocks you down Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down Just get back up, when it knocks you down, knocks you down [Outro: Keri Hilson and Ne-Yo] Won't see it coming when it happens But when it happens You're gonna feel it let me tell you now You see when love comes and knocks you down Yeah Won't see it coming when it happens But when it happens You're gonna feel it let me tell you now You see when love comes and knocks you down Yeah
