Shooter, Shooter, that Shooter Gang
Hoover, Hoover Gang
Shooter, Shooter, that Shooter Gang
(Great John on the beat, by the way)
We slide on blocks, we'll leave it in park, look, we balling no parks, huh
Push engine to start, ain't no evidence when it sparks
I done seen fights to backing out straps, couple lil' snakes I thought had my back
'Til I gotta shoot that boy he flinching, spotted them routes he looks suspicious
Look, shit he clinching, ambulance speed that boy to the clinic
Tell 'em bring, paramedics, acrobatics, cinematic hungry hoes with you
Niggas try shooting at us, clapping at us, niggas know that Shooter Gang hit you
Pockets obese, real damage, ain't much love I got in these streets nigga
But I'm street nigga, that's his man, Sleepy hit his ass have him sleep quicker
He deceased with him, tote no straps don't hang around me, stand around me
Look, can't split no cash, no lick around me, stain around me, gang around me
Chillin', only my bitch arouse me, silly
I've done been drilling around these buildings, praying to my God I know he forgiving
Look, more havoc, wanted to taste, bring more addicts
Keep a closed mouth that's smooth traffic, hop in that car that's few 'matics
Hoover, Hoover Gang
Shooter, Shooter, that Shooter Gang
If you ask me, please don't ask me, uh
When it come to bitches, like my shorty super nasty
But if we talking chops, uh, I love 40 Glocks
If we talking blocks, we done spinned a lot, uh
If you talking opps, simple, make your niggas pop, pimple
You ain't sending shots, look, you just send a threat
But we can make a bet, 100K gang get your whole set
It ain't nuttin' less, next, smoking what I stretch
Shooter gang got food on niggas necks
Who the gang got niggas tryna flex
We the gang got bitches tryna sex
I ain't really worried 'bout a bitch, big bro told me worry 'bout a check
Disrespect then you valid for a death
Naw, he ain't no big dog, I swear that man is a rat
He try running we shooting his kicks off, when he trip he get hit with that braat
Wanna know where I got all of this sauce, I just say I do this and do that
Any minute I want niggas clipped off, I can pull up with Sheff and attack, Sheff and attack
The lyrics to "Automatic" by GG Allen and the Jabbers's speak about the gangster life and their ways of dealing with threats from rival gangs. The song mentions the "Hoover" and "Shooter" gangs, which may refer to real-life gangs. The song talks about the gang's lifestyle, including their weapons, their approach to handling threats, their loyalty to each other, and their disregard for authority. The main theme of the song is violence, and the lyrics express the attitude of the gang towards other gangs and anyone who threatens them.
In the first verse, the lyrics describe the gang and their love for guns. The gang is not afraid to show off their weapons, and they have no problem using them to protect themselves. They describe themselves as "balling no parks," indicating their wealth and success in the gang world, and they have no qualms about using their guns to eliminate any threats to their status. The second verse is about the gang's rivalry with other gangs. They are fearless in confronting their enemies and are willing to do whatever it takes to eliminate them. The gang has no loyalty to anyone outside their own circle, and they will not hesitate to turn on anyone who threatens them.

I'm a very big GG Allin fan, but I've gotten so used to the music he made with The Murder Junkies that it's weird to hear it on a normal song like this already.
