Gunshot
Ini Kamoze Lyrics

Hey, run for cover
Take cover, danger is imminent

Gunshot respect not, booma
Gunshots don’t show respect, they cause destruction

Gunshot in the respect notch
Gunshots can happen to anyone, regardless of their status

Shot, respect not, gunshot in the respect notch
Gunshots are dangerous and show no respect for anyone, they can happen to anyone

Now cats and dogs and men and people
All living beings are vulnerable to gunshots

For some it's good and some, stupid evil
Some people consider gunshots beneficial, while others recognize the stupidity and evilness of them

For Kings and Queens and El Presidente
Even people in powerful positions are not immune to gunshots

Or passer-by and spy or could wind up in the cemetery
Anyone can be a victim of gunshots, including innocent bystanders or even spies

Hey dunno what a bullet won't do, hey
Anything can happen with a gunshot, it is unpredictable

Even the minister and the sinister
People of both good and bad intentions can be killed by gunshots

A marine of Brigadista
Even highly trained individuals like Marines and Brigadistas are not immune to gunshots

Some win, some lose
Some people survive gunshots, while others do not

And some skip across the border
Some people flee to other countries to avoid gunshots

When men were bold
In the past, people used to be more accepting of violence and gunshots

This thing wasn't plenty
Gun violence was not as common as it is today

Now that heaven and earth are old
As times have changed, gun violence has become more prevalent

Hey, one fool makes many
One person’s foolish decision can lead to others making the same mistakes

Gunshot respect not, skeng-eh
Gunshots don’t show respect, they cause destruction

Ow, oh, oh
Exclamation of pain or surprise

Follow you round the corner
Gunshots can chase you even if you try to hide

Follow you across the border
Gunshots can force you to flee to other countries

When it hits, it hurts
Gunshots cause physical and emotional pain

Throw ya down in the dirt
Gunshots can bring you down to the ground

They have to cover ya with earth
Gunshots can unfortunately lead to death and burial

Tear drops like rainbow
Crying is a common and emotional response to gun violence

Tracks you down to ya mother
Gunshots can affect your loved ones, including your mother

Running you down into the streets and lanes
Gun violence can even take place in public areas

Hits the juice out of ya veins, hey, hey
Gunshots can cause fatal injuries by damaging vital organs

I dunno what a bullet won't do
Anything can happen with a gunshot, it is unpredictable

Gun shot in the respect notch, ow, ow, ow
Gunshots can happen to anyone, regardless of their status
