Gym Cla** Heroes - 2nd Period: Shoot Down the Stars lyrics

'81 was the year sh** hit the fan in a major way A sad day for an inspiring artists 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** 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 whipped that f**er 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 s**y we are So s**y we are, we just don't know it This is what you wanted right? How many nights were spent pouring out your guts dumb s**er? How many punishments endured for f**in'-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 ca**ius clay confidence Sometimes you stubborn as sh**, 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 s**y we are So s**y 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 s**y we are So s**y 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 s**y we are So s**y we are, we just don't know it
