Bang!
Knaan & Adam Levine Lyrics

She shot me, she shot me
She metaphorically wounded me emotionally

Bang, bang, she shot me (uh)
Her actions had a profound impact on me

Ah, there she goes again, the dopest Ethiopian
She is a remarkable and impressive person from Ethiopia

In other words, she came through explodin' in the podium
She arrived with great charisma and confidence

Dynamite Napoleon like sodium mixed with petroleum
Her energy and presence were explosive and intense

Slowly but surely, she was walking toward me
She approached me with deliberate determination

Cut the convo short 'cause she had to wake up early
Our conversation was brief because she had an early morning

But continuing the story, don't worry
However, the narrative is still unfolding

She gave me digits for her Blackberry
She shared her phone number with me

"You're very handsome" is what she said
She complimented my appearance

And the way she looked in my eyes said, "Put me to bed"
Her gaze conveyed a desire for intimacy

Oh my, oh my, I should have known when she said to me on the phone
I should have realized something was amiss when she spoke to me earlier

"You do not know me very well, but I would never hurt a fly"
She claimed she would never intentionally harm anyone

Then she aimed for my chest with love in her eye
Yet, she took aim at my heart with affection

She was walkin' around with a loaded shotgun
She carried emotional baggage and potential for harm

Ready to fire me a hot one
Ready to unleash intense emotions upon me

Although I could have walked away
Despite having the option to leave

I stood my ground and let her spray
I chose to confront the situation and endure the consequences

Scorpion, she's so hot, she's a scorch-ian
I liken her to a scorpion, captivating and dangerous

Killing me softly, Lauryn or Kevorkian
Her actions, both gentle and harmful, have a profound effect on me

Couldn't tell if she's cuckoo or quirky, when
It was difficult to discern her mental state

I asked her her name, she said, "Call me Ten"
When I inquired about her name, she preferred to be called Ten

Testing, testing
Evaluating the situation

Things just got more interesting
The circumstances became even more engrossing

She's dressed in a vest pin, double-breasted holster
Her attire consists of a vest with a pinned holster

A very Western toaster
Symbolizing her readiness to cause harm

She ain't nothing Kosher
She is anything but conventional or socially acceptable

Ah, she lets me closer
She allows me to enter her personal space

Hotter than a pepper-crusted samosa
She exudes intense heat and sensuality

While I try to keep my composure
Despite the overwhelming situation, I attempt to remain composed

Am I wrong?
Am I mistaken in my assessment?

But what is love without the pain to go along?
Love often involves suffering

And what is pain?
What does pain represent?

If not the reason for me to sing this song?
It serves as the inspiration behind this song

And this song is for the weak and for the strong
This song resonates with both the vulnerable and the resilient

'Cause I was strong
Because I possessed strength

And still, she got me, she got me
Nevertheless, she bewitched me

Am I wrong?
Am I mistaken in my assessment?

But what is love without the pain to go along?
Love often involves suffering

And what is pain?
What does pain represent?

If not the reason for me to sing this song?
It serves as the inspiration behind this song

And this song is for the weak and for the strong
This song resonates with both the vulnerable and the resilient
