shle berry - shoot me down lyrics

[intro]
you won’t accomplish much
by shoving facts in everyone’s face
i think you change people’s opinions
by opening up your heart
and showing the parallels between you
and another person
that’s how their ideas shift

[chorus]
they’ve been tryna shoot me down
but they don’t see what i see (see what i see)
i’m so persuaded by the sound
just let me be what i’ll be, nah (be what i’ll be)
tryna cross your mind
but they don’t do what i do (do what i do)
yea, i am so one of a kind
sh+t, if they knew what i knew, now (knew what i knew)
they’ve been tryna shoot me down
but they don’t see what i see (see what i see)
i’m so persuaded by the sound
just let me be what i’ll be, nah (be what i’ll be)
tryna cross your mind
but they don’t do what i do (do what i do)
yea, i am so one of a kind
sh+t, if they knew what i knew, now (knew what i knew)
[verse 1]
yea
the reality of my concepts
are so watered down by these comments
but i stay afloat from that nonsense
i want simple things but it’s complex
swerving down these roads
consequences that i chose
keep on tugging at my heart
over these feelings i compose, yea
don’t get me wrong
i want the kudos and the trophies
but your bars get no reception
so that’s how i know you phony, yea
act like they don’t know me
b+tch i’m shle, the one and only
plus i’m genuine as h+ll
that’s why she rides me like a pony, yea
speeding out of that slow phase
i was working hard and got no praise
but i stuck around
turned my luck around
and they wonder now how the flow pays
took the time to be home made
i know i shine cuz they throw shade
but she double taps on my photographs
for the flop top and that low fade
frames and different angles
switching lanes but always thankful
they don’t see me as a starter
‘til i go and break that ankle, boy
faded again cuz i waited again
i prevented myself was afraid to begin
seeing everything that i made with a pen
if i knew back then
would’ve made it again, yea
(would’ve made it again, yea)
you might also like
[refrain]
knew what i knew
do what i do
be what i’ll be
see what i see

[verse 2]
yea
i compare myself and it’s fatal now
i bring so much to the table now
i couldn’t back then but i’m able now
all the cool kids are a fable now
i was scared to climb
i was scared to fall
i’m a rare design with nowhere to call
got a bag of time i never cared to haul
hard to find, i gotta share it all
the frequency that they speak to me
so condescending so easily
cuz we glorify the misogynist
and then we wonder why the boys seek to be
cut deep but let it bleed slow
i’ve been the black sheep
and got a sweet flow
so it doesn’t really matter how the beat goes
there’s less cars
on those steep roads
feet off the ground
when they feed off the sound
+n+lyzing my moves
just to see what i found
i lock my shoulder when i aim (aim)
now these strangers know my name (name)
they start braggin’ ‘bout the ice
but i was cold before the fame, yea (fame)
never knew much about staying in
they fall for the fake, then i lay it in
i’m too headstrong to be caving in
so i’ll set the bar
that i’ll raise again
i’m distant from the person
that they’re asking me to be
unfamiliar point of views
so i’m exactly what they need, yea
(exactly what they need, yea)
[refrain]
knew what i knew
do what i do
be what i’ll be
see what i see

[outro]
they’ve been tryna shoot me down
but they don’t see what i see
i’m so persuaded by the sound
just let me be what i’ll be, nah
tryna cross your mind
but they don’t do what i do
yea, i am so one of a kind
sh+t, if they knew what i knew, now
it’s parallels, b+tch
