You Don't Have to Shoot 'em Up [Squishface] [feat. B-Boy Kawaduti]

Shout out to B-Boy Kawaduti for appearing in the video.
Squishface wanted to make a track that might help others to not commit murder suicide. With all the mass shootings and school shootings now a days, to him things have gotten out of hand:

"I shouldn't get too personal here: but I made this song for my little sister. I hope she's doing well. I hope this reaches her before it's too late. I wish I could help her and that she would talk with my family. I just hope she's okay and isn't hurting. Lord, please make sure she's taken care of. None of us are perfect. She just needs time to become comfortable with who she really is.

Thus song is sung from the perspective of a parent and or a close friend, it's about platonic love so don't twist things. The chorus is sung from the perspective of angels." - Squishface

"I just wanted to say that I love you: platonically; and that God made your form perfect. You don't need to change anything about yourself physically-sexually to obtain happiness. I'm sorry that it's not easy growing up; or growing old. But love is the answer not hate. Love casts out all evil. Choose peace, not war." - Squishface

We know this style is a bit outside of the rowdy stuff that Squishface typically does, here's what he had to say:

"Sometimes we make music for others rather than ourselves. Sure I like things rough and tumble, crass and sarcastic, but sometimes we need to get serious about love, hope, and truth. If you've got a problem with that it's a you problem. If you've got a problem with my harder music, that's a you problem too. I mean that with all due respect; show me mercy and grace; I'm only human." - Squishface

FYI this song is designed for repeat listens, although there is a fading tail at the end you can mark it with an A->B repeat feature so you can meditate on the song when you're feeling blue. Thank you for your support. Please hang onto hope. Don't choose despair.

"To be fair, and give credit where it is due: I was inspired by Foster the People. They really helped me through a very rough period of my life, I know that sounds cliché but hey it is what it is. I've been sitting on this track for two years now. I made it before I joined crux. I wasn't sure if I'd ever release it, but here it is. I think it's better to show your inner self uncensored and not deny your nature (physically) [it's something that is unchangeable, unlike becoming a better / stronger person].

If it's something we can't truly change: like our physical nature; or in a third completely different and separate way: like showing your inner emotion healthily; why would we believe we can find happiness through denying it, and giving power to embarrassment and discomfort? That isn't truth, and that isn't love either. God is truth. God is love." - Squishface

Voicemails to a loved one who chose to die before their time:

[Chorus]
You don't have to shoot 'em up (Don't have to shoot 'em up)

[Voicemail 1]
Hey baby
I know you're having a
Really hard time
With your identity
But trust me
You don't really have to
Shoot 'em up
You're just.
You're perfect
The way you are

Well I mean
Nobody's perfect
But God made
Your form perfect
Your form is perfect
The way it is

[Chorus]
You don't have to shoot 'em up (Don't have to shoot 'em up)

[Voicemail 2]
Hey baby
I hope you get this message
Sooner than later
I know you don't
Check your voice mail
But I just wanted to say
You're very special, and
You don't have to change anything
About what you are
Physically
Maybe you just have like
A little room to grow
Personally

[Verse/Chorus]
You don't have to shoot 'em up (Don't have to shoot 'em up)

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't let anybody
Think for you
Don't let anybody
Destroy you
Don't let anybody
Reframe you
No you better not
Deny you

[Voicemail 3]
Hey baby
It's me again
And I know you don't
Check your voice mail
But I just wanted to say
I love you
And not in a sexual way
But more of a Platonical way
You're fine to stay
The way you are
Physically
Yeah physically

[Their final voicemail]
Hey baby
I know you're
Up there somewhere
And I'm so sorry
That you didn't
Get my voice mail
But now you're not suffering
But it didn't have to play out this way
We could've been
We could've been
True friends one day
We could've played all day
In the sun
Having fun
But now you pulled a gun
Now that ain't no fun
Because God made your form perfect
And you had to deny it
You just had to try it
You had to pull your gun
No it ain't no fun.

[Chorus/Outro]
You don't have to shoot 'em up (Don't have to shoot 'em up)
