Knock Me Down Music Video
The video is in a gray-scale in a raining day in the city. With us zooming down below we see a typical day but there is a dark moody feeling in the air and you can just feel the depression. Have you ever (x6)
(Hook)
Have you ever lived your dream?
Have everything you could want and need
Know that you reach your goal
But still always wanting more
If so you better stop me now
Please knock me down
As the hook ends we get to see Kidd walking and looking around the grey city even he looks different with him being grey wear a long coat as he sees people as he passes by. The first people and a young black man shot and is lying on the ground.
Black boy, dark look, hard life, good cook
Wrong place, off time, Get caught, 99
Families miss him, while others happy to diss him
Some say it was the environment others blaming the system
His friend is there trying to call for help but you don’t hear his voice and people aren’t paying attention to him like he isn’t there. Kidd walks pass them to continue walking and as he does in the background the camera zooms in to see police brutality, protesting, celebrities and pro athletes preforming, and people walking into jail cells. Uh, so how do you get out but through the sports and music
Get the money and run out of their but the truth is
That not how it always works and you force into a box
Where you either adapt to hard lifestyle or see yourself rot
The Camera cuts back to Kidd and he sees a homeless man with a sign and looks to the other side of the street to see a child with a toy airplane. Kidd faces forward and starts walking again.
Many will look for it but not able to find salvation
To the point where everyone bleed heavy, no menstruation
Bad situation and you will not see another day
People are feeling it but never have the words to say
See it on their faces and know that help isn’t coming for
Makes the young ones hungry in something and want more
Looking in the sky and have the ability to soar
Well, I make it through with these eyes on having all
The only way for me to not reach my dream is for me to fall
As the hook goes on you see images of an ambulance and cop cars going by to go somewhere in the distant, of broken down homes with wood covering the windows, people look to be shooting and arguing.
Have you ever lived your dream?
Have everything you could want and need
Know that you reach your goal
But still always wanting more
If so you better stop me now
Please knock me down
As the next verse start you see the shadows of a car and someone shooting someone else but they get in the car and drive away. A school building and has people having a candlelight vigil for the person that has been shot and show kids being quiet around who they believe to be hang members.
That my friend that got shot for “snitching” on them
That school that had a wake in the “missing” for him
That the girl that no longer has a father to talk about
Those are the kids that witness murder and won’t open their mouth
The camera then cuts to a preacher standing in front of his church and Him looking a Kidd with a disgusted looked.
It’s a sad time, it is a bad hand
People would try to reason but will never understand
By any means they take that shit literal
They do a lot of wrong I pray for their spiritual
And once you’re in you can never escape it
You try to atone but it is funny how twisted fate is
As it goes into the hook again Kidd finds himself walking toward a big crowd. He looks to move them out the way but his hand and soon his whole body goes right through them. As he keeps walking he finds himself at the center with EMS are working to bring him back as his spirit goes back into his body.
Have you ever lived your dream?
Have everything you could want and need
Know that you reach your goal
But still always wanting more
If so you better stop me now
Nothing can stop him, He moving up and shining a light, light, light
He trying to do good, and give people another option, that isn’t right, right, right
Knock me down
(Hook)
Have you ever lived your dream?
Have everything you could want and need
Know that you reach your goal
But still always wanting more
If so you better stop me now
Please knock me down
Knock me down
Kidd opens his eyes and color is back, and sound can be heard outside of the music. The EMT gives a sigh of relief as he looks at Kidd “We thought you were a goner,” he told him as he helps him sit up and holding his side that has blood on his shirt to show that he was shot. Kidd holds his side as well pain shooting into his face “ Nah, it will take more than this to keep me down.” He said getting onto his feet and getting inside the ambulance.
