Shoot Your Kite Down (Acoustic Version)
I got a family but i would say fuck em'
I got a brother If i see him I will cut him
I got a mum who sold her heart so she's worth nothing
Love em' and leave em'
Goes to her kids and her lovers
Her daughter
Spitting image of her mother
Been involved in a murder where her lover killed another
Guy
And its the kids that have to suffer
My two little nephews are somewhere out there in the gutter
In foster care
Probably for the best you see my sister she ain't fussed to care
I always said that she should make that change
But neither me or Michael could of seen what that song done to her
I had an uncle who was homeless and he died an alchi
Grand dad stabbed thirty times died with a crowd around him
I always picture if I'd have found him
Then I have to let them thoughts go
Swear my family think heroin is mad tasty
I got cousin who gave birth to a crack baby
Another cousin who's raising her sisters yutes
Cause her sisters abusing crack and is barely twenty
I got a brother who was raped by his own dad
But cause my mum slept around she probably just ignored that
So he got adopted out
Never to be seen again
I hope he got to smile at last
My little brother passed on
It was his own decision but death was his last one
I know he's always with me
Everything that I achieve
I Know that he's a witness
I got his picture on my arm
I gave his name to my daughter
So I remember what it feels like to say it when I call her
But memories are starting to fade
Unlike the pain of when I found out he passed away
Don't let them shoot
Don't let them shoot
Don't let them shoot your kite down
Don't let them shoot your kite down
Don't let them shoot your kite
You need to find a way to deal with the pain
Don't let them shoot
Don't let them shoot
Don't let them shoot your kite down
Don't let them shoot your kite down
Don't let them shoot your kite
You need to find a way to deal with the pain
I got a brother If i see him I will cut him
I got a mum who sold her heart so she's worth nothing
Love em' and leave em'
Goes to her kids and her lovers
Her daughter
Spitting image of her mother
Been involved in a murder where her lover killed another
Guy
And its the kids that have to suffer
My two little nephews are somewhere out there in the gutter
In foster care
Probably for the best you see my sister she ain't fussed to care

Don't let them shoot your kite down
Don't let them shoot your kite

Don't let them shoot
Don't let them shoot
Don't let them shoot your kite down
Don't let them shoot your kite down
Don't let them shoot your kite
You need to find a way to deal with the pain
