Gym Class Heroes - Shoot Down The Stars Lyrics
'81 was the year shit hit the fan in a major way
a sad day for inspiring artists
Almost 20 years after the fact I'm still on my hustle
Diggin' graves for an inspiring artist
Pushing daises up
Shit on since the first show
But we turned feces to fertilizer
So when you diss it's just food for the flowers to grow
Sold 15 plus out of backpacks, no trunks
Too young to drive
But live hip hop
And the kids are upstate kids that thought rap was past tense, hence the last name
Got name for playing basements and such and making songs that our friends loved
And when the fish bowl got too small to hold the goldfish
We filled our gills with water and ripped that mother fucker like
So take a step back
And a breath in
Let it out now
Put your chin up
You can do it tiger
You a man now
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
We bring ourselves down
How fragile we are
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
We'll shake up this town
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
So sexy we are
So sexy we are, we just don't know it
This is what you wanted right?
How many nights were spent pouring out your guts dummy?
How many punishments endured for fucking up in school?
How many teachers proved wrong by writing songs instead?
My point exactly
Something producin' to the dreams your pop's dreams lent you
Stay focused when nothing seemed to make sense
Stealing verses with that Cassius Clay confidence
Sometimes you stubborn as shit, that's the McCoy in you
You learn to be a man without losing the boy in you
Just do your thing man
So take a step back
And a breath in
Let it out now
Put your chin up
You can do it tiger
You a man now
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
So take a step back
And a breath in
Let it out now
Put your chin up
You can do it tiger
You a man now
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
We bring ourselves down
And build ourselves up in disappointment
How fragile we are
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
We'll shake up this town
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
So sexy we are
So sexy we are, we just don't know it
We break ourselves down
And build ourselves up in disappointment
How fragile we are
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
We shake up this town
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
So sexy we are
So sexy we are, we just don't know it
So take a step back
And a breath in
Let it out now
Put your chin up
You can do it tiger
You a man now
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
We bring ourselves down
And build ourselves up in disappointment
How fragile we are
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
We'll shake up this town
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
So sexy we are
So sexy we are, we just don't know it

Gym Class Heroes Shoot Down The Stars Comments
We shake up this town and shoot down the stars for our enjoyment. -2020🖤
Almost 14 years later, and I'm still in love with this song as when the album was released. We NEED a comeback album and tour 😭
Who’s here with me in 2020
This song was stuck in my head all through Army basic training since it was one of the last ones I listened to before I got there.
This was when life was good. Not a worry in the world.
Dude ......the memories to this song . Fuck gettin old...
Going strong 2019.
hehehe, i remember that flag! -with T walking around warped tour, in the morning during the am band check-in
🔫🔫🔫🔫
My favorite song ever
here in 2019 boo ya
and i just found that song on spotify...
2019 and I'm still fucking with this
This shit is heat tho
Had a hard time looking this up , tried typing: Travie Mccoy we bring ourselves down 🤣🤣🤣
I really miss this band, but music lives forever 😌
I want more Travie's albums. Man, it's been 10+ years and I still can't forget GCH albums. They were so underestimated! I miss them badly.
I think gym class heroes made this song for anybody and everybody that had to struggle to get to where they wanted to be and the feelings/thoughts that comes with that.maybe that’s what make this such a great song
I love Travie but I came here for Princeton Perez!!
shouldn'tve been censored :(
Travie 💓
12 years later and I'm still listening to cheer my day up.
2019 here, one of the best bands from growing up. I'm a pro musician now. Gotta thank these legends for all the inspiration they gave me. It's been too long since I heard gym class, I remember meeting the guys at Newcastle uni, over 10 years ago when I was a kid, it was round the days when trav was with Katy Perry and she was unknown. such an inspirational dude. Shittt I feel old now.He told me to never give up give me so much inspiration. Much love gym class, love you guys so much love xxx
I know the teacher in this I am basically related to her😝
2018 and I love this song, it brings back memories!
