Shoot Down the Stars |
| '81 was the year shit hit the fan in a major way |
| A sad day for aspiring artists |
| Almost 20 years after the fact I’m still on my hustle |
| Diggin' graves for an aspiring artists |
| Pushing daises up |
| And never compromise the arts to make a crowd clap |
| Shit on since the first show |
| But we turned feces to fertilizer |
| So when you diss it’s just food for the flowers to grow |
| Sold 15 plus out of backpacks, no trunks |
| Too young to drive |
| Put live hip hop in the ears of upstate kids |
| That thought rap was past tense, hence the last name |
| Got name for playing basements and such and making songs that our friends loved |
| And when the fish bowl got too small to hold the goldfish |
| We filled our gills with water and ripped that mother fucker like |
| So take a step back |
| And a breath in |
| Let it out now |
| Put your chin up |
| You can do it tiger |
| You a man now |
| And in your dream it’s time to do the best you can now |
| We break ourselves down |
| And build ourselves up in disappointment |
| How fragile we are |
| So fragile we are, we just don’t show it |
| We’ll shake up this town |
| And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment |
| So sexy we are |
| So sexy we are, we just don’t know it |
| This is what you wanted right? |
| How many nights were spent pouring out your guts dummy? |
| How many punishments endured for fucking up in school? |
| How many teachers proved wrong by writing songs instead? |
| (My point exactly) |
| But you knew you had a spark, did you? |
| Something producin' to the dreams your pop’s dreams lent you |
| Stay focused when nothing seemed to make sense |
| Stealing verses with that Cassius Clay confidence |
| Sometimes you stubborn as shit, that’s the McCoy in you |
| You learn to be a man without losing the boy in you |
| (Just do your thing man) |
| So take a step back |
| And a breath in |
| Let it out now |
| Put your chin up |
| You can do it tiger |
| You a man now |
| And in your dream it’s time to do the best you can now |
| So take a step back |
| And a breath in |
| Let it out now |
| Put your chin up |
| You can do it tiger |
| You a man now |
| And in your dream it’s time to do the best you can now |
| We break ourselves down |
| And build ourselves up in disappointment |
| How fragile we are |
| So fragile we are, we just don’t show it |
| We’ll shake up this town |
| And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment |
| So sexy we are |
| So sexy we are, we just don’t know it |
| We break ourselves down |
| And build ourselves up in disappointment |
| How fragile we are |
| So fragile we are, we just don’t show it |
| We’ll shake up this town |
| And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment |
| So sexy we are |
| So sexy we are, we just don’t know it |
| So take a step back |
| And a breath in |
| Let it out now |
| Put your chin up |
| You can do it tiger |
| You a man now |
| And in your dream it’s time to do the best you can now |
| We break ourselves down |
| And build ourselves up in disappointment |
| How fragile we are |
| So fragile we are, we just don’t show it |
| We’ll shake up this town |
| And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment |
| So sexy we are |
| So sexy we are, we just don’t know it |
| We break ourselves down |
| And build ourselves up in disappointment |
| How fragile we are |
| So fragile we are, we just don’t show it |
| We’ll shake up this town |
| And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment |
