The Takedown

The blood starts pumping, the mind's alert
 The goal is in focus, time to work
 I've got raw nerves and a loss for words
 So you better not knock, do not disturb
 My heart palpitates insatiable
 Follow my nose, aimed at a place to go
 On the path I'm a pack of jungle cats
 Who can hunt as long as the hunger lasts
 I'm looking for a yes and I hate resistance
 You can break it down to the basic instincts
 Not gonna wait, better make it instant
 Or else stand back at a safer distance
 (Shhh) demons whispering
 A little idea telling me it's the thing
 So I dive down deep to apply surprise
 Like a great white killing with lifeless eyes
 I might try to stop but I'm out of control
 And I'm not cooling off so now that you know
 Don't allow me to blow cause I doubt I can hold
 And I'm about to (ahhh)
 [Chorus:]
 You better give it to me
 It's the take down
 Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
 I'll take you down
 Deep down inside you know you're wrong
 Ah man, just relax, it's not that bad
 Cause you took it too far and it's time to stop
 Wait, take one minute to think
 You gotta stay calm, you're on the brink
 Of disaster, pause and catch yourself
 Let's make some calls and get some help
 You need to understand what a mess you're in
 Before I notify your next of kin
 It's not that bad, your life's a wreck
 And I came to serve the reality check
 You think that you're slick and sliding by
 When you sit there sipping on cyanide
 With the people in your life left high and dry
 And don't try to hide those lying eyes
 What do you know, I know you're wrong
 I know that it's bad and it can't go on
 Well what do you want me to do, admit it
 Admit it, tell me that I'm right, forget it
 I'm out of here and if I burn a bridge (bleep) you
 I don't know if I'll return to this
 See, It's too late to manipulate
 A twist of fate and a lucky break
 I am what I am, not a role I can act
 And there's no going back and you don't know the half
 So if you want to judge and find a fault
 I'll bring this talk to a grinding halt
 [Chorus x2]
