Lyrics Shoot Your Shot - James Brown

Shoot the shot before you get a shot
Shot out of view
Shoot the shot before you get a shot
Shot out of view, oh shot

Oh yeah, it′s mine, mine
Mine, ha, it's mine
I do what I wanna do

And you can′t tell me, hey
Who to give it to
Oh, it's yours sometimes
But it's mine all the time
And I do what I wanna do

You can′t tell me
That I′m the man, man, I'll save it for you
High, my life had been empty
Since you went away
I feel so very lonely
I trip from day to day

So shoot the shot before it
Get the shot, shot out of view
It′s my mess
And I do what I wanna do

I'm a dude who don′t talk rude
Who really, really, really don't spin
I′ll save a dollar until the eagle grin
I'm tryin' to get over
Tryin′ to get over
Tryin′ to get over
I, I, I tryin' to get over
Hey, tryin′ to
Tryin' to get over

Shoot the shot, ah, shoot the shot, ah
Shoot the shot, ah, shoot the shot, ah
Shoot the shot, hey, shoot the shot
Shoot the shot, ah, shoot the shot, ah

Shoot the shot, shoot the shot, ah
Shoot the shot, ah
I′m a dude who don't talk rude
Who really don′t, don't spin
I save a dollar 'til the eagle grin
Fred, shoot the shot
Shoot the shot, ah, shoot it, shoot it
Shoot the shot, shoot the shot, shoot the shot

Maceo, shoot the shot
Fred, shoot the shot
Shoot the shot, Maceo
Fred, shoot the shot, Fred
Maceo

Louder!
Hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it
Ah!
Shoot the shot
Shoot it, shoot it, shoot the shot
Shoot the shot, ah
Shoot the shot, ah
