Cause A Commotion
Bugzy Malone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shotgun pump action (yeah)
And we cause a commotion
Mista selekta
Put that rewind in motion
Shotgun pump action (yeah)
Let them know what's up
Mista selekta
Better wheel it up
(Pull it up selekt, pull it-pull it up selektah)
Shotgun pump action

I'm in the back seat, I'm on the left flank
Range Rover lookin' like a big tank
Svr soundin' like a Mustang
Grab onto the barrel with your left hand
Ever seen five man hop out of the four-door?
Moncler smelling like a Tom Ford
Greeted them in French, I'm sayin', "Bonjour"
Decorate the face, I'm on that contour
I'm on the free-wheeler with the cleaver
Deep cut, tell 'em free Reetra
If this was '013
Then I'd have the pumpy put down in Moston with Nikita
Man are no stranger to the snub-nose
Everywhere we go we make the snow go
Little bit of pressure and the leg broke
Everybody's bad until they get smoked

Shotgun pump action (yeah)
And me cause a commotion
Mista selekta
Put that rewind in motion
Shotgun pump action (yeah)
Let them know what's up
Mista selekta
Better wheel it up
(Pull it up selekt, pull it-pull it up selektah)
Shotgun pump action

When I'm in the passy, I say, "Shotgun"
Them man are chattin' like they got one
I play games 'cause I never lost one
It's mafia music but not like Rick Ross done
Bottle of the 'Roccy, bottle of the 'TrΓ³n
Do most of my business on the telephone
They still can't believe it when they see me now
They have to look twice because they lookin' at a criminal
Come a long way from trimmin' leaves off
This one's a classic but it's not a Reebok
The creps are boomin', we need a re-stock
Never rustle up the feathers of a peacock
I'm from the 61, I bring the flavour
I'm representin' in Jamaica
I'm givin' it away, it's only paper
Skip, tell 'em all about the danger

Shotgun pump action (yeah)
And we cause a commotion
Mista selekta
Put that rewind in motion
Shotgun pump action (yeah)
Let them know what's up
Mista selekta
Better wheel it up
(Pull it up selekt, pull it-pull it up selektah)
Shotgun pump action

Can't control
This ah di style weh dem can't condone
Some ah dem try fi set all ah badman tone
But when you check it out, dem ah badboy clown (mmh)
Love ramp 'round
How much sake ah joke how dem love ramp 'round
Lion in the jungle, dem last one round
King of kings and Lord of the throne
Uk, Manchester down to Jamaica
Wise up di ting, top shotta

Shotgun pump action (yeah)
And we cause a commotion
Mista selekta
Put that rewind in motion
Shotgun pump action (yeah)
Let them know what's up
Mista selekta
Better wheel it up




(Pull it up selekt, pull it-pull it up selektah)
Shotgun pump action
