Knocking
[Verse 1]
Can't you leave your fool in the mirror? (He's your reflection)
Blinding you from all pain
Oh, but what would it take to make it clearer? (This lack of freedom)
It got me going insane
(Hey)

[Chorus]
Said why you keep on knocking me down? Ah, uh (Hey)
It's time to let the freedom resound Ah, uh (Hey)
Said why you keep on knocking me down? Huh, uh (Hey)
Said how about a refund now? Uh

Said little girl can't reach her father (The n***a's down)
And they're miles away (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Uh, and the government don't even bother, uh (To care)
To care about what we have to say
Uh, yeah yeah yeah (Hey)

[Chorus]
Said why you keep on knocking me down? Uh (Hey)
It's time to let the freedom resound, oh it's time (Hey)
Said why you keep on knocking me down? Uh (Hey)
Said how about a refund now?
How about a, how about a
[Bridge]
My body is filled with sorrow (You're killing me now) (Aaah)
And yours is filled with pride (Aaah)
So today I learn for tomorrow (I learn for tomorrow)
Let your hatred resign (Said let your hatred resign)
Oh, yeah yeah yeah

[Outro]
You keep on knocking me down (You keep on knock)
You keep on knocking me down (Knocking me down)
You keep on knocking me down (Knocking me down)
You keep on knocking me down
