Kick You When You're Down Lyrics

Love for my love, hate for my hate
strength for my strength and pain for my pain
pride for my pride, match it inside
trust that I find in you
but its hard and its brutal and its nasty and rude and
its dirty and mean when they treat you like yesterdays new
they want you to keep it all downtown, frowned, underground
but no one is keeping it down
fuck no

I’ll keep my head high

cause they will always kick you when you’re down

Life for my life, soul for my soul
truth for my truh and heart for my heart
drive for my drive, match it inside
fight for this fight and don’t you ever never
give up, give up you gotta play like a master of chess
it’s a long road and it’s a mental endurance stress test
sometimes you fight and you win sometimes you fight and
you lose
it’s the fighter in you
not to lose

so keep your head high

cause they will always kick you when you’re down

You have to trust in yourself
you must believe in yourself
you have to follow your heart
you overcome, improve, endure

love for my love, hate for my hate
strength for my strength and pain for my pain
pride for my pride, match it inside
keep up the drive, fight for this fight
because some shit aint right
don’t lose out sight
get your heads right
shine our star to bright
nothing in life is for sure
its just a gamble
so play it for all its worth

and don’t forget to keep your heads high

cause they will always kick you when you’re down
they will always kick you when you’re down
and don’t you let there kicking get you down

You have to trust in yourself
you must believe in yourself
you have to follow your heart
you overcome, improve, endure
