No Guns No Murder
B. Killa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If we all were rich, we'd spend more time
With our daughters and sons, they're losing their minds
We all feel hurt, here's mine, hear me now
Cause, no guns are allowed, in here tonight
We're gonna have a free-for-all, no fights
I wanna get lost in the crowd, in here tonight
Let the music play, me don't want no more gunplay
When the bodies hit the ground, there's nothing left to say, ay, ay
Me don't want to see no more innocent blood shed
Me don't want to see no more youth dead
Come hear me now
No guns are allowed, in here tonight
We're gonna have a free-for-all, no fights
I wanna get lost in the crowd, in here tonight
I need to hear my thoughts, turn the music up loud
Yeah, yeah, yeah, news from back home
This when it hurts to be gone
Two more young names to be carved out of stone
One summer day that went horribly wrong
Got my dawg on the phone
Cryin' and sayin' to leave him alone, but I'm not leavin' his side
I know that somebody died, somebody's child
Some people ducked down and some people hide
Some people just cannot react in time
Bullets do not choose a victim
It is the shooter that picks 'em
They just can't wait to get you in the system
The district attorney could use a conviction
Told you no guns and then you didn't listen
Life is so heavy with that on your soul
Dedicate this to Shyanne and Josh
And pour sumthin' out for the lives that they stole
416
No guns are allowed, in here tonight
We're gonna have a free-for-all, no fights
I wanna get lost in the crowd, in here tonight
I need to hear my thoughts, turn the music up loud
Money makes a man and that's a crime
Money makes a man and that's a crime
I wanna get lost in the crowd, in here tonight
The crux of B. Killa's "No Guns No Murder" is about wanting a safe environment where one can let loose and have fun without all the violence and murder that stems from the rampant use of guns. The artist acknowledges that the world is a dangerous place, and the fact that many turn to guns only exacerbates the problem. The song's initial verse comments on the twisted way that money makes men, leading them to commit crimes like murder. B. Killa believes that if people were not so fixated on obtaining wealth, they would better cherish the time they have with their loved ones, especially their children who are often the innocent victims of gun violence. The artist thus pleads with people to put down their guns, to listen to each other, and to simply enjoy the music to find a brief respite from the violence of the world.
The chorus of the song speaks to the need for a peaceful environment where guns have no place. B. Killa expresses his desire to be lost in a crowd where people come together simply to enjoy the music and leave their differences aside. The artist recognizes that music provides an important space for people to connect with themselves and with others. The subsequent verses delve into the horrible tragedies caused by gun violence, relating the story of someone's friend who is crying on the phone because they lost a loved one to gun violence. B. Killa laments the fact that such occurrences often happen so quickly that many people do not have time to react before someone is killed. The artist further laments the fact that the law often fails to hold those responsible for gun violence accountable. In the end, the artist dedicates the song to two people who lost their lives, wishing for a world where such senseless tragedies never happen again.
