Lyrics
You Gotta Go Down - Pete Silva c .2023
I was knocked out cold before my head even hit the canvas
Got squared with a sucker punch that truth be told I should've expected
Can't say I deserved it, but I got in the way
Yeah, you gotta go down before you can ever be saved
There are times that I feel like I'm one breath away from death
When that clock starts counting down and you don't have any strength left
So they ask you for last words but you got nothing to say
Because you gotta go down before you can ever be saved
You gotta go down, you gotta go down
When no one's in the corner calling out your name
Yeah, you gotta go down, you gotta go down
Well you gotta go down before you can ever be saved
You gotta go down, you gotta go down
Well you gotta go down before you can ever be saved
Well I don't go looking for fights, but they sure do come looking for me
Until enough's enough, man I never learn it seems
I end up getting knocked down in a heap and drop into a daze
But you gotta go down before you can ever be saved
You gotta go down, you gotta go down
When no one's in the corner calling out your name
Yeah, you gotta go down, you gotta go down
Well you gotta go down before you can ever be saved
