XV - Shoot Me Down lyrics

[Intro] You know? I think that everybody...well 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... [Verse 1: XV] 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… [Hook] 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... [Verse 2: XV] 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… [Hook 2] 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 f** is my guitar? Now roar Please don't shoot me down ‘cause I'm flying, I'm flying, I'm higher
