Shoot You Down
Avii Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It should be on your mind
But I know
It's just been a good game
It's true lie
For sure
What I'm worried about is what comes after, that you gone
Boom you gone
I think your cute I see all these girls running after you but you killing me with
Your corny lines, if you play that shit again, I'ma bring out the gun like
Boom Boom
I'ma shoot you down
I'ma break your heart boy
You gon' hear the sound
Coming like, Boom Boom
I'ma shoot you down
La La La
Shots fired,
As you hit the ground
All you brown fellas at the bar
I don't give a fuck
Oh! You drive a nice car?
I don't give a fuck
Boy you better think again,
If you think I'll give it up
If you play that shit again, I'ma bring out the gun like
Ooh
You say
That I'm playing with your heart
And you cannot believe it
But I know
That I got you wrapped
And baby, if we go slow
Then maybe I'll see if we can make this
Person know.
Just don't blow it, cause you got a long way to go.
I'ma tell you like I told you the first time,
Try it on me, and I must decline,
Saying "Baby I'ma do you right"
Ugh, well if you play that shit again
I'ma bring out the gun like
Boom Boom
I'ma shoot you down, I'ma break your heart boy,
You gon' hear the sound
Coming Like
Boom Boom
I'ma shoot you down
La la la
The lyrics to Avii's "Shoot You Down" showcase a woman who is at the end of her rope dealing with a man who is playing games with her. She's heard his corny lines one too many times and is threatening to "shoot him down" if he keeps it up. Throughout the song, Avii sends a clear message that she's not interested in playing games and wants the man to step up or step out. She also makes it clear that she knows what's at stake and is fully prepared to walk away if things don't improve.
The chorus, "I'ma shoot you down, I'ma break your heart boy, you gon' hear the sound coming like, boom boom" further emphasizes her frustration and anger towards the man. The repeated use of "boom boom" also adds an element of threat, making it clear that Avii is not to be messed with.
The verse where Avii addresses other men at the bar also shows her confidence and disregard for materialistic things, stating that she doesn't care how much money or status a man has. The song's repetitive and catchy melody emphasize the seriousness of the lyrics, and the use of "La La La" and "Boom Boom" make it memorable and relatable.
Overall, "Shoot You Down" is a powerful message to men who are playing games with women's hearts, and Avii's strong vocals and lyrics make it clear that she's not one to be messed with.

You say, every second of the day
It should be on your mind
But I know
It's just been a good game
It's true lie
For sure
You keep telling me that you're always thinking of me, but I know you're just playing games. You're lying to me, and I'm sure of it.
What I'm worried about is what comes after, that you gone
Boom you gone
See I really want to stay
I'm worried about what will happen after you leave me. You'll be gone just like that, and I really don't want you to go.
I think your cute I see all these girls running after you but you killing me with
Your corny lines, if you play that shit again, I'ma bring out the gun like
Boom Boom
I'ma shoot you down
I think you're attractive, but your cheesy pickup lines are getting on my nerves. If you try that again, I'm going to get really mad and threaten violence.
I'ma break your heart boy
You gon' hear the sound
Coming like, Boom Boom
I'ma shoot you down
You better watch out, because I'm going to break your heart. You'll hear the sound of me shooting you down like a gun going off.
All you brown fellas at the bar
I don't give a fuck
Oh! You drive a nice car?
I don't give a fuck
Boy you better think again,
If you think I'll give it up
I don't care that you and your friends are hanging out at the bar, and I don't care if you have a nice car. You better think again if you think I'll just give myself up to you.
You say
That I'm playing with your heart
And you cannot believe it
But I know
That I got you wrapped
And baby, if we go slow
Then maybe I'll see if we can make this
Person know.
You accuse me of playing with your heart, but I know that I have you wrapped around my finger. If we take things slow, maybe we can figure out if this relationship is worth it.
Just don't blow it, cause you got a long way to go.
I'ma tell you like I told you the first time,
Try it on me, and I must decline,
Saying "Baby I'ma do you right"
Ugh, well if you play that shit again
I'ma bring out the gun like
Boom Boom
I'ma shoot you down
Don't mess this up, because we still have a lot of work to do. I already told you that your promises don't impress me. If you try to woo me with those same lines again, I'll threaten you with violence once more.
La la la
This is just a catchy chorus with no real meaning.
