Bang Bang
K´naan Lyrics

She shot me, she shot me, Bang, bang, she shot me. [Repeat: x3] She shot me, she shot me, Bang, bang. (Get out the way, yo)
The singer was literally shot by a girl, and he repeats it multiple times. He was shot because the girl was trying to get his attention.

There she goes again, The girl is Ethiopian. In other words, she came through explodin' In the podium, dynamite Napoleon like sodium mixed with petroleum, Slowly but surely, she was walking toward me Cut the convo short 'cause she had to wake up early, But continuing the story, Don't worry she gave me digits for her Blackberry "You're very handsome" is what she said. And the way she looked in my eyes said "Put me to bed."
The girl who shot the singer is Ethiopian and stunning. She caught the singer's attention and gave him her contact number.

Oh my, oh my, I should have known when she said to me on the phone: "You do not know me very well, but I would never hurt a fly." Then she aimed at my chest with love in her eye. I said she aimed at my chest with love in her eye.
The singer should have known the girl was dangerous when she told him she wouldn't harm a fly. However, she shot him with what she called love in her eyes.

She was walkin' around with a loaded shotgun Ready to fire me a hot one. It went bang, bang, bang Straight through my heart. (Straight through my heart) Although I could have walked away, I stood my ground and let her spray. She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang she shot me [Repeat:x3] She shot me, she shot me Bang, bang.
The girl was carrying a loaded shotgun, and although the artist could have left, he chose to stay and let her shoot him, hitting him straight in the heart.

Scorpion, She's so hot she's a scorch-ian, Killing me softly, Lauryn or Kevorkian, Couldn't tell if she's coo-coo or corky, when I asked her her name she said "Call me Ten." Testing, testing Things just got more interesting She's dressed in a vest pin, double-breasted holster, A very Western toaster, She ain't nothing Kosher. Ah, she lets me closer. Hotter than a pepper-crusted Samosa While I try to keep my composure.
The girl is named Ten, and she is incredibly attractive and dangerous. The artist isn't sure if she is peculiar or insane, but he finds her alluring, and she's even hotter than a spicy Samosa.

Am I wrong? But what is love without the pain to go along? And what is pain if not the reason for me to sing this song? And this song is for the weak and for the strong. Cause I was strong and still, She got me, she got me, Bang, bang, she got me. She got me, she got me, Bang, bang.
The singer questions whether he was mistaken about the girl who shot him, and he argues that love without pain is incomplete. Pain is necessary to inspire music, like this song, which is for everyone, strong and weak alike. Even though he was strong, the girl still shot him, leaving him helpless.
