[Little Simz, Syd - Shotgun lyrics]
Oh, it's official when you know it
Don't say nothin' if you can't show it
Boy, are you a talker or a doer?
Victim or the shooter?
Let me know now 'cause there's some
Niggas that wish they knew her
I'm a complex human being
Man there's more than one side to me
I'm all ears when you need that
You should confide in me
If there's one thing that I ask for
Honesty, don't lie to me
Been dolo for a long time this is God's sign
Let me know when you're on
I'm in the OK space, got my own place
Drive my own whip, run my own ship
All that's missin' is a co-pilot
Ride shotgun with me
Wish you not fight this when I
Roll out one on my hip
When I'm out, you know I got one
If you don't then you better cop one
'Cause I always keep 'em
Rolling shotgun, shotgun, shotgun
Too many for me to keep up
So I never leave home without one
And I always keep 'em
Rolling shotgun, shotgun, shotgun
Oh, caught in the cross fire
My ex nigga wanna know me, lookin' all fire
No, this shouldn't even be my focus right now
I aspire to inspire, way before I'ma retire
That's the shit I live by every day
We can do this if you on it
I'm not tryna play games
Talk to me proper, do not try and spit game
"Simz, I'm just tryna get to know you, " no
You don't say?
"You're the girl of my dreams, " no
You don't say?
I'ma be a minute so you better not wait
Company is maybe all I needed right now
And you're an easy target
Don't take that the wrong way
But ride shotgun with me, ay
When I'm out, you know I got one
If you don't then you better cop one
'Cause I always keep 'em
Rolling shotgun, shotgun, shotgun
Too many for me to keep up
So I never leave home without one
And I always keep 'em
Rolling shotgun, shotgun, shotgun
Can't trust just anyone that you
Meet on the street
That's why I always keep a piece
Don't try to test me
Please, they come in all shapes and sizes
So don't come with no surprises
I ain't got time, baby got time
Oh, gotta see it to believe
Always keep it 100, I didn't come to deceive
I know you probably have wondered if
This was ever to be
Got love for you in abundance
Never worth a discussion
You entertain interruptions
What's with you and assumptions? Damn it
I shoulda known why these niggas is hoes
Shoulda put you to work and kept
You up on your toes
Shoulda listened to Bibi
You're condescendin' and needy
Don't start today, play with my heart today
Won't last a day, it's what the haters say
Now we're partin' ways
You are far from brave
Wasn't worth the time but oh boy, you fine
When I'm out, you know I got one
If you don't then you better cop one
'Cause I always keep 'em
Rolling shotgun, shotgun, shotgun
Too many for me to keep up
So I never leave home without one
And I always keep 'em
Rolling shotgun, shotgun, shotgun
It's a stick up, put your hands in the air
Like it's a stick up it's a stick up
Put your hands in the air
Like it's a stick up yeah, it's a stick up
Put your hands in the air
Like it's a stick up
Yeah, that's right, it's a stick up
Put your hands in the air
Like it's a stick up
Don't say nothin' if you can't show it
Boy, are you a talker or a doer?
