I've had enough, I'm taking you down
Taking you down

You've been all up in my face
Out of line and out of place
Blurring views, distorting facts, every time I turn my back

I'll make you know your position
Don't talk, just shut up and listen
No way out, now you can't play dumb
Get up get up and come get some

I've had enough, I'm taking you down
Taking you down...
