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
