No Guns Allowed
Drake & 2 chainz 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

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 lyrics of "No Guns Allowed" by Drake and 2 Chainz convey the message of violence in society and the need to eliminate it. The first two lines emphasize that money often leads to crime, and if everyone was rich, they could spend more time with their loved ones. The following lines address the issue of the younger generation losing their lives and minds due to gun violence. The chorus then emphasizes the importance of safety and a gun-free environment in public places like nightclubs.
The second verse follows a narrative that depicts real-life instances of gun violence. It talks about the emotional trauma of losing loved ones, the agony of helplessness when a shooting occurs, and the responsibility one must take to prevent such incidents. The chorus repeats the message of safety, the need to be in a crowd without any violence, and the importance of freedom of thought amidst chaos.
This song shows the rappers' sensitivity to the issue of violence and the impact it has on society at large. They convey a plea to the masses to come together and create awareness about the catastrophic consequences of gun violence. The lines "Bullets do not choose the victim, it is the shooter that picks 'em" highlight the need for accountability and the role of the law in preventing gun violence.

The devastating effects of gun violence are felt even by those far away from home. Innocent lives are lost and the shooter is the one responsible. The legal system needs to take action to prevent these tragedies. The weight of these deaths is heavy and we must remember those who are gone.

Am I the only one who feel's like Drake's line "Bullets do not choose a victim, it is the shooter that picks them" is the deepest part of this whole song?
