I looked on with a sigh, cause I don’t lie, and I can't cry
We got used to the lie, but we can’t die, we all gotta ride
But if its true what they do to ya, I won’t lie to ya
Ohh
Shoot before your Shot (down)

yea, they really don’t last, gone with a flash and they think we gonna crack
its like a blast from the past, we seen many fall but you haven’t seen the last
But if its true what they do to ya, then it's cool baby
Ohh
You wanna bust but they gonna bust back

Shot through the mind
Shot through the soul
I don’t believe these shots been takin' their toll
They could do it you, they could do it me
One thing I know, I ain't never been free
No winners in war
Shoot before your shot (down)

Shots heard round the world, but not down the street
Shots fired on the block, but nobody speak
They turn a blind eye but never turn the other cheek

Shots fired at a tired heart, they can take away but they remain heartless
Fire on the block, so I strap this guitar and take a shot in the darkness
Cop is herd but they don’t speak, take it all but they stay cheap
Oh ohh
Cheap shots, cheap bullets
