Take Your Best Shot Now (feat. J.MONEY)

Take Your Best Shot Now - Cowboy Troy

In the winter December of '89

I picked up my pen

Started makin' my rhymes

I appreciate the listener for takin' the time

Cuz I'm pourin' out my soul with every lyric and line

An I remember what it's like

To be the focus of a punchline

Now the phone rings when the party's at crunch time

I was humble but you took it for weakness

Listen close and take notes

While the professor teaches

Maintain' my footin'

No shiftin' sand

It ain't quicksand

Cuz above ground

I still stand

Move from the shadow

On the way to the Big Man

Strive for connection

Without complexion

Changin' the game in a new direction

Keepin' you're attention

While I'm mic flexin'

Band on Grand Ole Opry

You can't stop me

So take you're best shot now

Cuz I'm climbin' so high

You'll run out of ammo

Before you touch the sky

You think you're the first one

To try an bring me down

Buddy you don't realize

How long I've been around

Take you're best shot now

I never lived in the hood

But I used to work there

Say man ain't you work in that shoe store

Yeah I used to clerk there

Rollin' through Dallas

Now they go berserk there

See the corner of my mouth

It's called a smirk there

Twinkle Twinkle Nashville Star

Is that you with the 20's on you're car

Is that you on my t v screen

With the Musik Mafia on you're team

I've been strugglin' and strainin'

Through misery and pain

Tryin' to get the radio dj's to say my name

People used to laugh when I dressed like an offical

Now I'm eattin' steaks 'stead of chewin' on the gristle

I've had breakfast in Hamburg dinner in London

Both in the same day and man it leaves you wonderin'

I hit the restaurants now they play me close

They get their cameras when I butter my toast

So take you're best shot now

Cuz I'm climbin' so high

You'll run out of ammo

Before you touch the sky

You think you're the first one

To try an bring me down

Buddy you don't realize

How long I've been around

Take you're best shot now

You might see me on the television here or there

But when you come

To the show you see them hands in the air

And when I ask Are you with me

You hear the reply

The fans say Aw yeah til the day that we die

Or at least until we're sick

Of what you got to say

Well let me tell you somethin' partner

That ain't happenin' today

So get you somma that and listen to me

To spell country boy you need CBT

So take you're best shot now

Cuz I'm climbin' so high

You'll run out of ammo

Before you touch the sky

You think you're the first one

To try an bring me down

Buddy you don't realize

How long I've been around

Take you're best shot now

Cuz I'm climbin' so high

You'll run out of ammo

Before you touch the sky

You think you're the first one

To try an bring me down

Buddy you don't realize

How long I've been around

Take you're best shot now
