When did we let the bar drop so low that radios outright refuse to play these feel good records anymore? Why did we let the standard fall? Why did we stop asking for real music? Why did we stop fighting for the radios and award shows to put REAL artists on stage and on the airways? These songs are golden, forever set in stone as an iconic moment in the history of non-millenials. Music was heartwarming, fashion was at its highest peak for that time, and everything was running smooth. For me, I was in high school (12th grade) when this dropped. This era in music will always remain solidified in the time capsule of our hearts. When I look at you my mind goes on a trip So what we gonna have, dessert or disaster?

OMG you listen to that bitch? Whoa it's me, baby, this is tragic How could a goddess ask someone that's only average for advice So I wrote this love letter right before my classes Let the wind blow the ash right before my glasses They say I move to quick but we can't let this moment pass us We were never meant to be baby, we just happened You was always the cheerleader of my dreamsĪnd seemed to only take the head of football teamsĪnd I was the class clown that always kept you laughin' Tell me now can you make it past your Caspers? I swear to you the pimp in me just died tonight, girl The load never too much, she helpin' me pull it Said if I could go back and make it happen faster Hate to know I'm crashin', don't know how it happened
'Til I met this pretty little missile, shot me out the sky I used to be commander in chief of my pimp ship flyin' high Y'all go ahead, I think I'm gonna kick it with my girl today Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you down Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down 'Cause boy, you came around and you knocked me down You got me thinkin' 'bout our life, a house and kids, yeah I never thought I'd fall for you as hard as I did I never thought I'd.Then you came in and knocked me on my faceįeels like I'm in a race but I've already won first place When I look at you my mind goes on a tripĪnd you came in and knocked me on my face You see the hate, that they're servin on a platter Whether you Louie Vouitonned up or Reebok'in " Knock You Down" by Keri Hilson featuring Kanye West and Ne-Yo Lyrics Keri Hilson also performed the song at the 2009 BET Awards as part of a medley which also included previous hit "Turnin' Me On".
