Shot Down Songtext
von Ledisi

Trying hard not to lose my mind
Woke up feeling like I′m losing time
Looked out the window, hoping nothing serious went down today, hey-hey

Oh, no another storyline
Another battle in the sunshine
They pulled the trigger looking down at the ground where he lay, hey-hey

Lord, I don't know
Tell me, is the window gone for peace to win?
Are we born to die?
′Cause the price too high
All because the color of skin

Ooh, he was shot down on this day in the middle of his story, uh-huh
She was shot down in the park in the middle of the day, hey
Shot down on display in the middle of a story, ah-ah
Shot down, "Didn't obey"
That's what somebody said, hey


Oh, I can′t believe we could be so cold
Walk around like we lost our souls
Rocket love is pocket love
And no one cares to stop and make a change, hey-hey

Education is a loaded gun
Shot down ′fore I even had a chance to run
The system says "we matter"
But the black lives only matter certain days, hey-hey-hey

Lord, I don't know
Tell me, is the window gone for peace to win?
Are we born to die?
′Cause the price too high
All because the color of skin

Ooh, he was shot down on this day in the middle of his story, uh-huh
She was shot down in the park in the middle of the day (in the middle of the day, hey-hey)
Shot down on display in the middle of a story, uh-huh
Shot down, "Didn't obey"
That′s what somebody said, hey, hey-yeah, yeah

Shot down

She was shot down

Shot down

Shot down


Hey, hey, I want peace to win
Yes, yes, I want peace to win
Yes, yes, I want peace to win
Yes, yes, I want peace to win
