lyrics

NO KNOCK

Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you
It’s not what it should come to
Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you
Cause we can do better
I won’t knock you if you don’t knock me
Cause that’s just the way it should be so
Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you
I said we just have to rise

Above all this hatred and destruction,
Cause music wasn’t made for competition
No it was made from a beautiful mind state to cultivate life
and send a message of love
I can understand how it comes to be
the industry is trying to control you and me
We will not give into their games
No there ain’t no way we will play, so...

Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you
It’s not what it should come to
Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you
Cause we can do better
I won’t knock you if you don’t knock me
Cause that’s just the way it should be so
Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you
I said we just have to rise

Step into the fire I found my resolve
I lost my mind it was a desolate fall
In the end I knew I'd find
Just what it takes in this life
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But these words can hurt me
Well, see me thru the lies
and I hope eventually you'll see

Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you
It’s not what it should come to
Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you
Cause we can do better
I won’t knock you if you don’t knock me
Cause that’s just the way it should be so
Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you
I said we just have to rise

Well, my mama once told me
If you've got nothing nice to say
Don't say it at all
Don't say it at all
Don't say it at all
Don't say it at all
Don't say it at all
Don't say it at all

Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you
It’s not what it should come to
Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you
Cause we can do better
I won’t knock you if you don’t knock me
Cause that’s just the way it should be so
Don’t knock me if I don’t knock you
I said we just have to rise
