Lyrics
Chorus
Shots fired
Keep your head down low
Shots fired
Keep your head down low
Because there ain't nobody coming
No rescue, don't you know
Verse 1
Cages and traps, no hope in tomorrow
Echo's snap from the wrong side of borrow
Verse 2
Good people pray when the innocent wander
Their memories stay with their mama's sorrow
Chorus
Shots fired
Keep your head down low
Shots fired
Keep your head down low
Because there ain't nobody coming
No rescue, don't you know
Instrumental
Verse 3
Like cold weather rain
these poor mothers and fathers
Endure the pain that few even follow
Verse 4
You've got to stop all this cussing and fighting
Learn to speak with words that enlighten
Chorus
Shots fired
Keep your head down low
Shots fired
Keep your head down low
Because there ain't nobody coming
No rescue, don't you know
Chorus 2
Shots Fired
Keep your head down low
Because there ain't nobody coming
No rescue, don't you know
