[Intro: Ab-Soul]
Who the fuck asked you, man?
Hahahaha
[Verse 1: Ab-Soul]
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 niggas wack but then I'd be braggin'
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
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
I decorate my emotions in mеtaphors
Tell stories with allegories, so on, so forth
But who give a shit? The long lost lyricist
Niggas got rich talkin' nonsense, get yours
[Chorus: Ab-Soul]
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
I don't know what to think
I don't know what to think
I don't know what to think
Shoot for the moon and keep a gun around (Ayy, man, look)
[Verse 2: Ab-Soul]
Hopped of 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
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, 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!)
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
[Chorus: Ab-Soul & Joey Bada$$]
Shoot for the moon and keep a gun around
In the world so cold at least the sun is out (Soul)
Live in my mind, I question everything
To that point I don't know what to think
I don't know what to think
I don't know what to think
I don't know what to think
Shoot for the moon and keep a gun around (BADMON)
[Verse 3: Joey Bada$$]
Listen kids, best to shoot for the moon 'cause if you miss
You'll still be amongst those stars to live foris
So take a risk and make a wish, close your eyes and picture this
Whatever you do, just don't end up like Icarus
Try and fly too close to the sun, you get your wings burnt
Best you stay close to a gun, shoot for your dreams first
Joey be an army of one, get your whole team hurt
Ain't no telling where they souls gone when they leave Earth
Church, Soulo told me 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
I'm taking bets how long it's gon' take 'em to say that I'm the best
A seasoned vet, 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'm aiming so far they can't tell what I'm shooting at
[Chorus: Ab-Soul]
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
I don't know what to think
I don't know what to think
I don't know what to think
Shoot for the moon and keep a gun around
