XV - Shoot Me Down lyrics

You know? I think that
Everybodywell maybe not everybody
But somebody should feel me on this one
Anybody that's just been told no
Nah, you can't do that, you know?
This is my struggle though, look

Gunning for the top, pistol never aimed down
Coming for my spot like Cruella de Vil’s gown
Remember? I said I’d run the town in December
When I was knocking Definition
Out while I entered
I looked in the mirror and said wow
That lost complex boy from
Kansas has been found
Amazing Grace I became this way
Hope I can save this game from
What it’s becoming right now
Ain’t gon’ point fingers
Just turn your radio loud
And you’ll see why saying that I’m
A rapper don’t make me proud
But this game’s like high school and
I ain’t in the crowd
So all I’m trying to say now

Please don’t shoot me down ‘cause I’m
Flying, I’m flying, I’m higher, yeah
Please don’t shoot me down
I'm like on Squaria with
This one man, ‘cause I’m flying, I’m higher
Look

He said Flyboy, how can I join your club?
I told him members only homie, back on up
He said I’m sorry Mister Hoffer
But my rap’s so tough
I’m only fifteen years old but I have so much
Material inside my eerie dome so
While I eat my Cheerios
I memorize so many flows to rap
At lunch while I’m at school
And Everything Is Cool is your best stuff
And the Square In The Circle
I hope that blows up, I
Said thanks, he said wait
Maybe I’m not done
I’ve been waiting all of my life
To run into you son
But, I been handing all my CD’s
To people who won’t listen to
And it just so happens that I have only one
So I’m gonna give this to you
I hope you like my sound
But not as much as I hope that
I don’t see this on the ground
Just put this in your CD player
You don’t have to play it loud
Just check it out and

Please don’t shoot me down, yeah
‘cause I’m flying
I’m flying and I’ve done it
Before, I’m higher, please
Don’t make me do it no more
Please don’t shoot me down ‘cause I’m flying
Watch me soar i’m higher
Where the fuck is my guitar? Now roar
Please don’t shoot me down ‘cause
I’m flying, I’m flying, i’m higher
