Never Going Down

[Intro: The Tongue]

I’m feelin’

I’m feelin’

Yeah (feelin’, feelin’)

[Verse 1: The Tongue]

Shit, I’m feelin’ like the future

Travellin’ through time (Uh)

A prophet in his prime

Young Muhammad on the grind (Woo)

The power of the mind

If I want it, then it’s mine (Yeah)

I could never aim low

When I always stay this high (High)

I fight for peace and love

Jimi Hendrix on the slide

I gotta heal the world (Ay)

With these seconds of my life (Tick-tick, tick-tick-tick)

I’m lookin’ for an answer

To the questions in your eyes

I warned ‘em I was comin’

Still these suckers act surprised (What?)

They’ll never take a chip out of my paper

They will try

To tear a dreamer down

If he dares to touch the sky

So bullets feel like blessings (Blessings)

Pain is just a lesson (Lesson)

And you can shoot the messenger

Boy, I am the message

[Chorus: The Tongue]

I’m never goin' down

Ain’t you learned by now?

That they could keep on swingin’

And the king’d never bow? (C’mon, c’mon)

I’m never goin' down (Uh)

This brother’s too proud (Uh)

My love was so strong

Let’s go another round

Yo, I’m never goin' down

Ain’t you heard by now?

That they could keep on swingin’

And the king’d never bow? (Woo)

I’m never goin' down

This brother’s too proud

My love was so strong

Let’s go another round

[Verse 2: The Tongue]

You never gettin’ up (Uh)

With the wrong man, you fucked (Yeah)

Too much Sydney in this blood

Not a thug, but I’m rough (Woo)

‘Cause these days ain’t so smooth (No)

Pour bleach onto my blues (No)

I’m thinkin’ if this a game, then every day

I better play my best move

So I’m keepin’ y’all in that groove (Oh yeah)

Got a dance hall gettin’ loose (Uh-huh)

Got a girlfriend lookin’ starry eyed

I’ma take her to the moon

I’ma take back what I lose (Uh)

Which ain’t much, I’ma Scrooge (Gimme)

Not court cases, don’t sue

It’s more like your mother won’t like the news

Seems like these other crews are confused (Yeah)

Claimin’ you a God, then I must be Zeus (Must be, ay)

Claimin’ you a lion, but ain’t got the tooth

Claimin’ you were lying, it sounds like the truth

I been through the fire, survived, livin’ proof

I been suicidal, my neck out the noose

So I don’t wanna hear no goddamn excuse

Gonna stand your ground, you gonna hold the crown

You never goin’ down

[Chorus: The Tongue]

Ain’t you learned by now?

That they could keep on swingin’ (Uh)

And the king’d never bow?

I’m never goin' down

This brother’s too proud (Proud)

My love was so strong

Let’s go another round

I’m never goin' down (Uh)

Ain’t you heard by now? (What?)

That they could keep on swingin’

And the king’d never bow? (Yeah)

Oh, I’m never goin' down

This brother’s too proud

My love was so strong

[Bridge: Ngaiire]

Ay

I’ve been livin’ in a dream (I've been livin' in a)

And I’m

Never gonna let you wake me up from it

I’ve been livin’ in a dream

And I’m

Never gonna let you wake me up from it

I’ve been livin’ in a dream ([?])

And I’m

Never gonna let you wake me up from it

I’ve been livin’, livin’

Livin’ in a dream

[Outro: Ngaiire]

I’ve been livin’ in a dream

And I’m (Uh-huh)

Never gonna let you wake me up from it

I’ve been livin’, livin’ (Yeah)

Livin’ in a dream
