Young nigga finna pull up with the shooters
Finna, finna, finna pull up, up, pull up
Hey!
I'm finna pull up with the shooters
Finna pull up with the shooters
I'm finna pull up with the shooters
40, knock your head off, fall off with the Ruger
Finna pull up with the shooters
Finna pull up with the shooters
Finna pull up with the shooters
40, knock your head off, fall off with the Ruger
Finna pull up with the shooters
Finna pull up with the shooters
Finna pull up with the shooters
40, knock your head off, fall off with the Ruger
Finna pull up with the shooters
Finna pull up with the shooters
Finna pull up with the shooters
40, knock your head off, fall off with the Ruger
I been ridin' with a couple hittas
And a couple hittas come and do ya
I be ridin' through the Garvey block
And tellin' Mike & Boss to come and shoot ya
All about mula
Turn that 40 to the Ruger
Turn the 40 to the 50
Turn the 60 to a shooter
You a 6 and you a loser
Droppin' Ls for the loser
Heard them L niggas snitchin'
Free Nick, he the shooter
Ivo you a bitch, you a loser
So when we catch you ass, we gon' snooze ya
Turnin' 44 into the Ruger
Finna pull up with the shooters
Finna pull up with the shooters
I'm finna pull up with the shooters
Finna pull up with the shooters
40, knock your head off, fall off with the Ruger
Finna pull up with the shooters
Finna pull up with the shooters
Finna pull up with the shooters
40, knock your head off
The lyrics to Desiigner's song Shooters are expressing the singer's desire to pull up with gunmen or 'shooters' and wreak havoc. The lines emphasize the importance of having a team of shooters and their power to turn a .44 into a 'Ruger.' The hook is particularly catchy, with the repetition of the phrase 'Finna pull up with the shooters' and the emphasis on the word 'shooters.' This emphasis suggests the rapper's admiration for violence and guns as he praises the ability to knock off someone's head with a gun.
The verse also includes 'Ls' for the loser and the snitch, indicating the gun-toting protagonist considers himself part of an elite community where snitches are enemies and 'losers' deserve punishment. The chant-like nature of the chorus further emphasizes the song's call to pull up with shooters, making it a violent and disturbing message.
Overall, the lyrics to Shooters are dark, aligning with Desiigner's gritty and aggressive style. While some may see this kind of music as glorifying violence, it is important to remember that art is a reflection of society, and often, artists like Desiigner are expressing the anger and pain felt by those who grow up in poverty and struggle.
