Metro Boomin' want some more, yeah

I've been running from my problems
I've been running from you
Girl, all this money, all these things, don't feel the same without you
I can't trust these others girls, I got a feeling 'bout you
Even though I'm doing well, I lose my touch without you
I hate to hurt you, cameras showing everything that I do
Piece of shit, I got a side bitch and I lie to her too
My momma asking 'bout you, and I finna lie to her too
I blew up and got lost in the sauce, and changed up on you

But when nobody else was around
She always held me down
She always held me down
She always held me down
Way before I found my sound
She kept my feet on the ground
She always held me down
She always held me down

I've been living life on the road
Feeling lonely, heart is turning cold
I be covered up in sold out clothes
Feeling empty, doing sold out shows
Using drugs to cover up my emotions (abusing drugs)
Every time you see me, I'm either rolling or smoking (I'm rollin')
Everybody love me now, only you make me feel important
When we settle down, everything you buy gon' be imported
All of your friends, they told you, "Don't fuck with a artist"
When I tell you what my body count is, that gon' hit you the hardest

I've been running from my problems
I've been running from you
Girl, all this money, all these things, don't feel the same without you
I can't trust these others girls, I got a feeling 'bout you
Even though I'm doing well, I lose my touch without you
I hate to hurt you, cameras showing everything that I do
Piece of shit, I got a side bitch and I lie to her too
My momma asking 'bout you, and I finna lie to her too
I blew up and got lost in the sauce, and changed up on you

But when nobody else was around
She always held me down
She always held me down
She always held me down
Way before I found my sound
She kept my feet on the ground
She always held me down
She always held me down

Whenever they took my music for a joke
Whenever I ever had my back against the roasts
When I was down and I had no hope
She was always down from the get-go
She was always down, stay ten toes
Lost my girl, found a thousand hoes
She a good girl, don't work on a pole
If I need it, she would stash my pole
She pay for all the dinners when I was broke
If I needed, she would hide my dope
Girl, I know you still wearing my clothes
I know you think about me when you alone
I know you think about texting my phone
I wish you would give in and just let go
I'm happy I found out you was at my show
You're more than my girl
You're part of my soul

I've been running from my problems
I've been running from you
Girl, all this money, all these things, don't feel the same without you
I can't trust these others girls, I got a feeling 'bout you
Even though I'm doing well, I lose my touch without you
I hate to hurt you, cameras showing everything that I do
Piece of shit, I got a side bitch and I lie to her too
My momma asking 'bout you, and I finna lie to her too
I blew up and got lost in the sauce, and changed up on you

But when nobody else was around
She always held me down
She always held me down
She always held me down
Way before I found my sound
She kept my feet on the ground




She always held me down
She always held me down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to NAV's song Shot Me Down tell a story of a man who has been running away from his problems and love. He talks about how money and material possessions hold no meaning without the woman he loves. He confesses to lying and cheating on her, but at the same time, he knows he can't trust any other girl. He admits to losing touch with himself once he lost her and how he changed once he "blew up." However, throughout the turmoil, the woman always held him down, even before he found success in music. The song is a reflection of his journey and how the love of his life was always there for him, even when he lost his way.


The song is a representation of NAV's feelings at the time and is personal to him. The lyrics illustrate the emotional weight he carried and the importance of having someone who supports you in your darkest times. Additionally, the song talks about the downsides of celebrity life, where cameras show everything he does, and how that affects his relationships.
