Gun Shot
Akon Lyrics

Anyone in the place tonight
If you're here, you better prepare yourself for what may come

You don't wanna be a witness
If you see something, you might regret it later

Then walk away (Akon!!!)
It's better to be safe than sorry, and the singer is making this very clear

'Cause I'm a soldier that love to fight
Akon isn't afraid of confrontation, and he's hinting that he's looking for trouble

And anyone in my path will die today
He's not joking around, and he won't hesitate to resort to violence

Be my AK (Gunshot!)
The AK-47 is his weapon of choice, and he's not afraid to use it

Have you ever spent one day on my block
Akon is from a rough neighborhood, and he's letting you know it

Had to make good with crooked-ass cops
He's had to navigate a corrupt system to survive

Witness innocent bystanders get shot
The violence around him isn't selective, and it affects innocent people

Made a livin', ready or not
He's had to hustle to make ends meet

(To stay true) to all my niggas
He's loyal to his friends and family

Things gettin' hard but we're still grindin' up
Despite the struggles they face, they're still pushing forward

We done came up and cop cribs by the river
They've achieved success and are reaping the rewards

Before the Feds came down on we
They were targeted and investigated by the authorities

True badman nuh counterfeit G's
He's not a fake gangster, but the real deal

Maybe once, stick around
If you're brave enough to stay, you might learn something

And trust you will see (that)
The truth will reveal itself if you're patient

So playboy, don't make me pull your card (OK!!!)
He's warning anyone who might challenge him not to test him

Buss a shot and separate your squad (OK!!!)
He's ready to fire his gun and break up any opposing groups

Gangstas never know who you are (OK!!!)
You never know who's watching or who's an enemy

And where you from ain't never made you hard (OK!!!)
Just because you're from a tough place doesn't mean you're tough

You could be from Africa or Asia (OK!!!)
It doesn't matter where you're from

America back a yard in Jamaica (OK! OK!!!)
He's specifically calling out Jamaica and America as places he's familiar with

You could be fron unda di equator (OK!!!)
He's emphasizing that he's open to confrontation from anyone, anywhere

Regardless, I will see you later (OK! OK!!!)
He's not afraid to confront anyone, and he's not planning on backing down anytime soon

See you can run but it's hard to hide (OK! OK!!!)
You might be able to escape briefly, but you won't go unnoticed

What will kill you inside (OK! OK!!!)
The guilt of your actions and the fear of retribution will weigh heavily on you

Wait a minute 'til you stand up right (OK! OK!!!)
He's not going to attack you when you're down, but he won't hesitate when you're standing up

That's why we nuh 'fraid of warning signs (OK! OK!!!)
They're not afraid of any warnings or threats, and they won't back down

Badman we a multiply, we nuh fear di law or a rugula guy
He's not afraid of anyone, and he has a team of like-minded individuals behind him

So we mash di place, rud di place, bun di place, dun di place
They're prepared to disrupt and cause chaos wherever they go

Top shotta we a ready to hide
They're the top dogs and they're ready to defend their position

And we nuh easy joy and nuh 'fraid to ride
They don't back down from a challenge or take pleasure in others' misfortunes

So we mash di place, run di place, bun di place, dun di place
They're not afraid to cause destruction and leave their mark

[Chorus]
The chorus reiterates Akon's warning and message of aggression
