Shot Down Lyrics

Shot down from real high
She's a wet dream, ha
She's so fly
I'm an old coat on a hot day
Got fire in my belly
Baby looking my way

I think she's putting on water
I think she's putting on water
She set my sights on fire
I think she's putting on water

Six lane
Six lane
Bury me alive and I'm not kidding
I said
Six lane
Six lane
Bury me alive and I'm not kidding, c'mon

Now a black cat run fast
Take a hit of this and let's make it last
Come on, switch my lanes to win my friend
I'll take you on a ride, baby, until the end

I think she's putting on water
I think she's putting on water
She set my sights on fire
I think she's putting on water

Six lane
Six lane
Bury me alive and I'm not kidding
I said
Six lane
Six lane
Bury me alive and I'm not kidding
I said
Six lane
Six lane
Bury me alive and I'm not kidding
I said
Six lane
Six lane
Bury me alive and I'm not kidding, baby

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Are we sure it's 'six lane'?

I hate to suggest that most of their songs are pertinent to sex, but this one definitely sounds like it.
