The lyrics to Akon and Sean Paul's song "Gun Session" depict a narrative of violence and aggression. The song begins with Akon introducing himself as the "illegal alien," referencing his immigrant status. Sizzla Kolongi and Shabba also make appearances. The lyrics then delve into the theme of guns and the act of shooting, with phrases like "Duppy we mek" (meaning "we make ghosts") and "shot a fire pon informer" (indicating a desire to shoot informants). The lyrics also assert dominance and power, boasting about the arsenal of guns the artists possess and their ability to eliminate their enemies. The chorus emphasizes the rebellious nature of the artists, expressing a disregard for the law and a commitment to living a risk-taking lifestyle.
Overall, "Gun Session" glamorizes gun violence and showcases a disregard for the consequences, promoting a tough and dangerous image.
