If I had a dime for every time I heard them ask me why
Don't ask why, cause you won't understand
My mother tried to tell me, she said, “boy, you'd better make a plan” 
Cause they will try to bring you down
Try to bring you down
Try to bring you down
And it goes on and on 

You gotta get out 
Of my head
I'm knocked down
I am not dead
So get out 
Of my head
I'm knocked down 
I am not dead

he said “Are you gonna get a job?”
I said “probably not”. It'll bring me down.
My girlfriend tried tell me 
she said “boy you make a plan” 
“Cause I wont let you bring me down”
Don't you bring me down
Dont you bring me down

So get out of my head
I'm knocked down
I'm not dead
So get out 
Of my head
I'm knocked down 
I am not dead

Don't try to bring me down
