Shoot Me
[Verse 1: Beleaf]
I'm only inspired when I'm tired
And I'm tired of suckers telling us they like us
Then they bite us
Cause they wanna be just like us
Do a show around the corner and don't even invite us
These rappers gave me the itis
After I'd devoured them I took my _ to sleep
And then I wake up for a week
My hiatus is just the flyest
I might be your favorite rappers ghost writer
You call him the best but he see me and call me sire
When the wheels fall off and I'm running with just the tires
And the rubber met the road so much you see the wires
Imma still be walking around with the Messiah
No matter how many dummies tell me I'm a liar
Ruslan, Beleaf, and Johnny unite us
Ain't worried about the critics who hate us and can't recite us
All up on the web shooting threads like they spiders
Citizens arrest, we cursed they wanna cite us
They wanna fight us and got no hands
They wanna, change the world but got no plans
They really just want a feature and got no fans
And no funds
Hoping misunderstandings will get you my brothers phone num...

[Chorus]
Yeah go ahead and shoot me
Cause I'll take the bullet
And I'll take the brunt
So go ahead shoot
Cause I'll take the bullet
And I'll take the brunt
Say what you want
You can go ahead and shoot me

[Verse 2: Ruslan]
We all got a short memory don't we
Thinking how society influenced us lowkey
And they the originators of this thing
Don't let the same team mantra fool you
We are not the same thing
That's like
That's like saying Lecrae was the first to do it
Even though before Church Clothes
Sho left for the same movement
Who you think they was kicking it with
Who you think they was pulling from at a time
Where if you weren't preaching explicitly up in your rhymes
You were considered illegitimate
Now everyone's an activist
They thinking that they mastered this
It's accurate that when we did it first it was so sacrilege
And blasphemous
Rapzilla wasn't posting it
Holy culture was roasting us
Now every single blog wants a quote from us
Like we some type of poster kids
For Christian rappers coping with
The toxic culture that was then created by the legal-ist
Believe in this
Be on
So we could speak one to the heathen-ist
The sinners of our time
Which includes you and I
This is not a break up letter
Just me speaking my mind
Probably for the last time
And before you give props
Stop and give it up for the real OG's
Tunnel Rats and Future Shock

[Chorus]
Yeah go ahead and shoot me
Cause I'll take the bullet
And I'll take the brunt
So go ahead shoot
Cause I'll take the bullet
And I'll take the brunt
Say what you want
You can go ahead and shoot me

[Verse 3: John Givez]
I can't feel my face
I hate this whole race
I think it's all changing me
But then it came to me
Ya'll softer than Charles Darwin
In God's garden
Picking God's cotton
Talking about its evolution
Ever since heaven moved me to make some music for planet earth
I planted verses in the hearses
They call it a revolution
And I'm hungrier than I ever been
My brothers tell me I should eat
Don't be neglegant
I think my appetite to some of you is threatening
If you can't beat em then you join them
Nah you never been squad
Swing low sweet chariot and carry them
Son of thunder terrorists
Tearing down walls and the barriers
Barbarians is in your area
With the tactics
Don't you dare have us shake the world up
Tip the axis
When they ask us
If we feeling
Just they slightest bit of pressure
To be better than the competition
I answer I'm never
Cause we clever
They ain't even got a level for this leverage
Just to stop it you gon' have to grab the wop
And you gon' have to go and shoot me

[Chorus]
Yeah go ahead and shoot me
Cause I'll take the bullet
And I'll take the brunt
So go ahead shoot
Cause I'll take the bullet
And I'll take the brunt
Say what you want
You can go ahead and shoot me
