Shoot Down The Stars

81 was the year ************t hit the fan in a major way
I sat there for an inspiring artist
Almost 20 years after the fact Im still on my hustle
Diggin graves for an inspiring artist
Pu************ng daises up
And never compromise the arts and make a crowd clap
******** ****t on since the first show
But we turned feces to fertilizer
So when you diss its just food for the flowers to grow
Sold 15 plus out of backpacks, no trunks
Too young to drive
But live hip hop
And the kids are upstate kids that thought rap was past tense, hence the last name
Got name for playing ba************ ts 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 ****** 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 its time to do the best you can now
So break ourselves down
And build ourselves up in disappoin*******ent
How fragile we are
So fragile we are, we just dont show it
Shake up this town
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
So ***y we are
So ***y we are, we just dont know it
This is what you wanted right?
How many nights were spent pouring out your guts dummy?
How many punishments endured for ******* 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 thedreams your pops dreams lent you
Stay focused when nothing seemed to make sense
Stealing verses with that cashs clay confidence
Sometimes you stubborn as ************t, thats 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 its 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 its time to do the best you can now
So break ourselves down
And build ourselves up in disappoin*******ent
How fragile we are
So fragile we are, we just dont show it
Shake up this town
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
So ***y we are
So ***y we are, we just dont know it
We break ourselves down
And build ourselves up in disappoin *******ent
How fragile we are
So fragile we are, we just dont show it
We shake up this town
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
So ***y we are
So ***y we are, we just dont 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 its time to do the best you can now
So break ourselves down
And build ourselves up in disappoin* ******ent
How fragile we are
So fragile we are, we just dont show it
