“Step Up”, tells us we are going to get knocked down if we step up to someone, or something superior to us.
[Intro]
One, two, three, go!
[Verse 1]
Broken, yeah, you been living
On the edge of a broken dream
Nothin', yeah, that's the only thing
You'll ever take away from me
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm never gonna stop
I'm never gonna drop
Ain't no different than it was before
So, take some good advice
You better stop and think twice
Before you take your first step out that door
[Chorus]
If you wanna step up (Step up)
You're gonna get knocked down (Knocked down)
If you wanna step up (Step up)
You're gonna get knocked down
You had your chance to walk away
And live to see another day
If you wanna step up (Step up)
You're gonna get knocked down (Knocked down)
You're gonna get knocked down
[Verse 2]
Ah... Sufferin', yeah, that's the only thing
Here that's left for you
Nothin', yeah, that's the only thing
You're ever gonna fuckin' do
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm never gonna stop
I'm never gonna drop
Ain't no different than it was before
So, take some good advice
You better stop and think twice
Before you take your first step out that door
[Chorus]
So, if you wanna step up (Step up)
You're gonna get knocked down (Knocked down)
If you wanna step up (Step up)
You're gonna get knocked down
You had your chance to walk away
And live to see another day
If you wanna step up (Step up)
You're gonna get knocked down (Knocked down)
You're gonna get knocked down
You're gonna get knocked down
[Bridge]
And now you've crossed that line
You must be out your mind
Go!
[Chorus]
If you wanna step up (Step up)
You're gonna get knocked down (Knocked down)
If you wanna step up (Step up)
You're gonna get knocked down
You had your chance to walk away
And live to see another day
If you wanna step up (Step up)
You're gonna get knocked down (Knocked down)
You're gonna get knocked down
You're gonna get knocked down (Step up)
You're gonna get knocked down
You're gonna get knocked down (Step up)
You're gonna get knocked down
