מילים לשיר Shoot Down The Stars – Gym Class Heroes

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 aspiring artists Pushing daises up And never compromise the arts and 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
Who 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 with 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, didn't you? So inconducive to the dreams your pop's dreams lent you Stay focused when nothing seemed to make sense Stealing verses with that cash's 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 with 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 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 So break ourselves down And build ourselves up in disappointment How fragile we are So fragile we are, we just don't show it 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.
