Lyrics
'81 was the year s**t hit the fan in a major way

Diggin' graves for an inspiring artist

So fragile we are, we just don't show it
Almost 20 years after the fact I'm still on my hustle
Shake up this town
So take a step back and a breath in
So fragile we are
We break ourselves down
So break ourselves down
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
Shake up this town
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
How many punishments endured for fucking up in school?
And when the fish bowl got too small to hold the goldfish
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
Was past tense, hence the last name
Shit on since the first show
So sexy we are, we just don't know it
Shake up this town
We filled our gills with water and ripped that mother fucker like
Stealing verses with that cash's clay confidence
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
But you knew you had a spark, did you?
So fragile we are
So take a step back and a breath in
And build ourselves up in disappointment
So break ourselves down
You can do it, tiger, you a man now
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
(My point exactly)
So sexy we are
And never compromise the arts and make a crowd clap
And build ourselves up in disappointment
And build ourselves up in disappointment
So take a step back and a breath in
Pushing daises up

'81 was the year shit hit the fan in a major way
Something producin' to the dreams your pop's dreams lent you
You can do it, tiger, you a man now
Sold 15 plus out of backpacks, no trunks
This is what you wanted right?
We break ourselves down
Shake up this town
We break ourselves down
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
So sexy we are
How many nights were spent pouring out your guts, dummy?
Shake up this town
So take a step back and a breath in
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
So sexy we are
How fragile we are
So fragile we are, we just don't show it

Let it out now, put your chin up
You can do it, tiger, you a man now
I sat there for an inspiring artist
Stay focused when nothing seemed to make sense
How fragile we are
And shoot down the stars
How many teachers proved wrong by writing songs instead?
You learn to be a man without losing the boy in you
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
Got name for playing basements and such
And making songs that our friends loved
So when you diss it's just food for the flowers to grow
So sexy we are, we just don't know it
And build ourselves up in disappointment
So sexy we are, we just don't know it
Too young to drive but live hip hop
Let it out now, put your chin up
But we turned feces to fertilizer
So sexy we are
Let it out now, put your chin up
Diggin' graves for an inspiring artist
You can do it, tiger, you a man now
Let it out now, put your chin up
So sexy we are, we just don't know it
And the kids are upstate kids that thought rap
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
And build ourselves up in disappointment
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
Sometimes you stubborn as shit, that's the McCoy in you
(Just do your thing man)
So fragile we are
