Stay Down

(Heavy, down-tuned guitar riff kicks in. Low, rumbling bass. A slow, ticking hi-hat creates tension. The volume swells.)

Yeah.

You thought I was gonna keep taking this?

You thought I’d just sit there and smile?

Nah. Your time is up.

Footsteps following, breathing down my neck.

I’m done.

(Drums hit a massive, explosive breakdown beat)

Go!

You’re a shadow in my rearview, a cancer in my space

Always talking, always plotting, trying to match my pace

But you a lil bitch, yeah, you hiding in the dark

Barking like a big dog, but you ain't got no heart

I was chilling, I was patient, gave you room to run your mouth

Now I’m stepping on your lawn, about to tear your house down

You've been pushing every button, now the safety lock is gone

Every single step you took, every boundary that you crossed

Look me in my eyes right now and calculate the cost.

Back it on up! Get out of my face!

You’re a leech, you’re a parasite, a total disgrace!

Keep your opinions, yeah, I’m shaking the floor

I’m gonna shut you down until you don't want no more!

Step back! Step back! You’re running out of breath

You woke a monster up and there's nothing left!

(Rhythm shifts to a heavy, bouncy Nu-Metal groove, Limp Bizkit style)

Check it. You’re obsessed with my life, got my name on your tongue

But your record is weak and your clock has been rung

You wanna stalk me? Walk me down? Try to see what I’m about?

One move, heavy metal, shut your whole operation out

You ain't tough, you a fan, you just begging for a reaction

I’m a weapon of destruction, full chemical detraction

Godsmack heavy rumble, voodoo in the air

I am standing right in front of you and I don’t even care!

You wanted my attention? Now you got it in full

Feel the weight of the pressure, feel the gravity pull.

Back it on up! Get out of my face!

You’re a leech, you’re a parasite, a total disgrace!

Keep your opinions, yeah, I’m shaking the floor

I’m gonna shut you down until you don't want no more!

Step back! Step back! You’re running out of breath

You woke a monster up and there's nothing left!

(The music cuts out completely. Only a heavy, aggressive 808 bass heartbeat remains. Voice drops to a gritty, menacing delivery.)

Look at you. Shaking.

You didn’t think I’d ever flip the script, did you?

You thought I was a target.

I am the hunter.

(Guitars start to choke-scream with feedback, building immense speed)

You wanted to be close to me?

Now get ready to see.

One, two, three, four—

(Total chaotic hardcore breakdown. Maximum energy, double-bass drums, crushing guitars.)

Down to the floor! Down to the floor!

I don't wanna see you sneaking round my block no more!

Step back! Step back!

Yeah, look at you now!

Who’s the one running? Who’s wearing the crown?

Get way back!

(Final, massive explosive drum hit)

Stay down.
