Shoot Down The Stars - Gym Class Heroes (体操课英雄乐队)
'81 was the year sh*t hit the fan in a major way
I sat there for an inspiring artist
Almost 20 years after the fact I'm still on my hustle
Diggin' graves for an inspiring artist
Pushing daises up
And never compromise the arts and make a crowd clap
Sh*t 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 but live hip hop
And the kids are upstate kids that 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 f**ker 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
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
This is what you wanted right
How many nights were spent pouring out your guts dummy
How many punishments endured for f**king 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 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 sh*t 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
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
We break ourselves down
And build ourselves up in disappointment
So 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
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 in disappointment
So 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
We break ourselves down
And build ourselves up in disappointment
So fragile we are
So fragile we are we just don't show it
