Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Who the fuck asked you, man?

Ha, ha, ha, ha

[Verse 2]

It's kill or be killed

Not heal or be healed, fake is the new real

I wanna say, "What happened to hip-hop?" but then I'd be naggin'

I wanna say you **** wack but then I'd be braggin'

[Verse 3]

Huh, the last dragon, flame thrower

Lawn mower, charge toward

Your greener grass, bypass your bandwagon

'Til it's all over, bring the white flag in

[Verse 4]

Towels get thrown, thrones get new kings

Feelings go numb 'cause you've been through things

Balls get dropped, pause, think hoop dreams

Get fried over the gravy, that's poutinе, see

[Verse 5]

I decorate my emotions in mеtaphors

Tell stories with allegories, so on, so forth

But who give a shit? The long lost lyricist

**** got rich talkin' nonsense, get yours

[Verse 6]

Shoot for the moon and keep a gun around

In a world so cold at least the sun is out

Live in my mind, I question everything

To that point I don't know what to think

[Verse 7]

I don't know what to think (Think)

I don't know what to think (Think, think, think, think)

I don't know what to think

Shoot for the moon and keep a gun around (Ayy, man, look)

[Verse 8]

Hopped off the porch like, "One of these days

I'ma hop out the Porsche", caught up in a daze

Had a pack of Newports, couple dollars to my name

Some knowledge in my brain and my best foot forth

[Verse 9]

I never been afraid, I'm protected by a force

I can't really explain and I'm guided by the source

Fuck up out my way 'fore I knock you off course

I was donkey of the day, now I'm on my high horse, I

[Verse 10]

Shoot for the moon and keep a gun around

Janky promoters always gave me the run around

Hard times like, huh, bad trips like, huh

Head to the sky like "Can I win one time?" (Fuck)

[Verse 11]

Yeah, 'tis the question

I had to eat, the industry was giving me indigestion

But opting out ain't a option in my profession

You don't know what I'm talking 'bout 'though, here's the lesson

[Verse 12]

Shoot for the moon and keep a gun around

In the world so cold at least the sun is out (Soul)

Live in my mind, I question everything

To that point I don't know what to think

[Verse 13]

I don't know what to think (Think, think, think, think)

I don't know what to think (Think, think, think, think)

I don't know what to think

Shoot for the moon and keep a gun around

[Verse 14]

Listen kids, best to shoot for the moon, 'cause if you miss

You'll still be amongst those stars, deliver this

So, take a risk, and make a wish

Close your eyes and picture this

Whatever you do, just don't end up like Icarus

[Verse 15]

Tryin' to fly so close to the sun you get your wings burned

Best you stay close to the gun, shoot for your dreams first

Joey be an army of one, get your whole team hurt

Ain't no telling will their souls go on when they leave Earth

[Verse 16]

Church, serotonin, lay 'em to rest

All these death stares, but I'm still taking steps

I've been looked up to so long, I'm starting to break necks

I shoot sharp like the Glock, came with a bayonet

[Verse 17]

I'm taking bets, how long it's gon take 'em to say that I'm the best

It seems they found a legend in the making, so they see me as a threat

My biggest flex is I did it all and never really broke a sweat

I made it so far they can't tell what I'm shooting at

[Verse 18]

Shoot for the moon and keep a gun around

In the world so cold at least the sun is out

Live in my mind, I question everything

To that point I don't know what to think

[Verse 19]

I don't know what to think (Think, think, think, think)

I don't know what to think (Think, think, think, think)

I don't know what to think

Shoot for the moon and keep a gun around
