Guard Down Lyrics

Lyrics from Snippet
[Intro]
Ooh, Yeah-ah-eah
Yeah
Bye, Bye

[Verse 1]
I can't control my emotions
Give me a minute
Just tryna find peace
I recognize it’s impossible
I still reach for whatever will run my mind
Recognize I‘m the root of all my afflictions
Oh, you gettin' bored?
Doin' too much just to show you love
I ain’t got the stomach for it
Get it, get it, go be in some other girl

[Chorus]
Hands up for you
Guard down, and you shootin' still
Guard down, and you shootin' still
Guard down, and you shootin' still
Hands up for you
Guard down, and you shootin'
I got my guard down, and you shootin'
Guard down, and you shootin' to kill
Ooh, Yeah-ah-eah
Yeah

Ooh
[Verse 2]
I swear
Could be the way you don't handle all me
It’d be a shame just to say you lost me
I do, I do
Go run away if you really want it
Got me a safe, put your name on it
All for nothing

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
