If You Knock Me Down (Make Sure I Stay Down)

(Intro – airy pads, distant vocal chops) Ahh—ohh—ahh… (Chopped: “down… down… stay down…”) Soft light fading, drifting slow, Heartbeat echo in the glow, Fell once… but I feel it now— Something stronger pulling out. (Build – bright arps begin, tension rising) Every scar, every bruise I hide, Turns to fire burning deep inside, You thought I’d break, you thought I’d drown— If you knock me down… (pause, vocal chop: “stay down…”) Better make sure I stay down. (DROP – punchy future bass, energetic) I RISE AGAIN—DON’T COUNT ME OUT Through the noise, through the doubt YOU HIT HARD BUT I HIT LOUDER Feel that energy, feel that power IF I FALL—I DON’T STAY THERE I come back stronger, I don’t play fair IF YOU KNOCK ME DOWN—REMEMBER THIS SOUND I’m the one who gets back up off the ground (Verse 1 – rhythmic, melodic vocals) Fragments of a shattered sky, I rebuild while you deny, Every piece you tried to break— Turns into the path I make. You don’t see what’s underneath, All the strength you couldn’t reach, I don’t fade, I don’t drown— I redefine what falling’s ‘bout. (Build – faster arps, percussion fills) Feel it rise, can’t hold it back, Every loss becomes attack, You lit a spark you can’t outrun— Now I’m everything you’ve undone. (vocal chop: “down… stay down… down…”) If you knock me down… Make sure I stay down. (DROP – bigger, brighter, more emotional) I RISE AGAIN—WATCH ME GLOW Through the highs, through the lows YOU TRIED BREAKING WHAT WON’T SHATTER Now I’m faster, stronger, better IF I FALL—I TURN TO LIGHT Burning brighter in the night IF YOU KNOCK ME DOWN—REMEMBER THIS SOUND I’m the one who gets back up off the ground (Bridge – stripped, piano + airy textures) (soft piano) For a moment… I felt the fall… Like I might not rise at all… But the silence taught me how to breathe… And the pain gave life to me… (pads swell, tension builds) Now I feel it… calling out— No more fear… no more doubt… (Final Build – intense, emotional) Every step, every sound, Leads me back from underground, You tried once—but hear me now— (pause, whisper chop: “stay… down…”) You should’ve made sure I stayed down. (Final DROP – explosive, anthemic) I RISE AGAIN—CAN’T HOLD ME BACK Every hit just fuels my track YOU WOKE FIRE YOU CAN’T CONTAIN Now I’m dancing in the flame IF I FALL—I BREAK THE GROUND Turn the silence into sound IF YOU KNOCK ME DOWN—REMEMBER THIS SOUND I’M THE ONE WHO ALWAYS GETS BACK UP— OFF THE GROUND. (Outro – fading pads, soft vocal chop) Ahh—ohh— (“down… down…”) Still standing…
