No, don't shoot me down
No, don't shoot me down
No, don't shoot me down
You so motherfuckin' dangerous
You so motherfuckin' dangerous
You got me by my neck
That's why these other niggas lame to us
'Cause all these other niggas lame as fuck
We show 'em no respect
When the time's right, yeah
When the time's right, baby
When the time's right
(Turn me up a little bit)
No, don't shoot me down
Take your hoodie off, why you hide your face from me?
Make your fuckin' mind up, I am sick of waitin' patiently
How come you're the best to me? I know you're the worst for me
Boy, you sweet as sugar, diabetic to the first degree
My spidey senses, got me on the fences
Whole squad in Ginza, travel bag by Balenci'
Big dawg hittin' big wheelies on the six speed
No, don't shoot me down
You so motherfuckin' dangerous
You so motherfuckin' dangerous
You got me by my neck
That's why these other niggas lame to us
'Cause all these other niggas lame as fuck
They show 'em no respect
When the time's right
When the time's right, baby
When the time's right
(Look)
No, don't shoot me down
Oh, you passive-aggressive? Oh, you fakin' you're mad?
(You started with a mere hello)
Oh, you wanna go home? Cool, you better call you a cab
I ain't takin' you home, yeah, I'm brushin' you off
'Cause this parka is Comme, you're my favorite garçon
Don't leave, stay right here, yeah, I want you right near
You invited me to breakfast, why the fuck your ex here?
Well, let's see if you 'round the God around this time next year
No, don't shoot me down
No, don't shoot me down
No, don't shoot me down
No, don't shoot me down
You so motherfuckin' dangerous
You so motherfuckin' dangerous
You got me by my neck
That's why these other niggas lame as fuck
(Well, I'm here for you)
When the time's right
When the time's right, baby
When the time's right
No, don't shoot me down
You're a gun 'cause I like you on my side at all times
You keep me safe
Wait, wait, depending on, you know
You could be dangerous to me
Or anyone else
Look, they be bringin' us up
Yeah, like now and again
Give a fuck what they talkin' 'bout, I see you as a 10
I'ma leave it at that, I'ma leave us as friends
'Cause the irony is I don't wanna see you again
Stay the fuck away from me
Stay the fuck away from me
Stay the fuck away from me
I ain't gon' repeat myself, but stay the fuck away from me
(You started with a mere hello)
(A boy is a gun)
No, don't shoot me down
(You started with a mere hello)
(A boy is a gun)
