Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh look, it's the president! Hey Mr. President!
Okay, there he go. Easy, easy, don't lose sight, wait
Two, three and NOW!"

Here I go, an angry brother finna make his move (P Dog)
But can I buck him in the city so I never lose? (P Dog)
See I'm a get him the crowd with a couple heavies (P Dog)
And lay the barrel to the ground, hold the gat steady (P Dog)
And now I'm ready for my adversary, talk is cheap (P Dog)
I'm looking for a way to make a plan and keep it neat (P Dog)
And check it out and make around and pick a rooftop (P Dog)
And get a spot where the view's hot, set up shop (P Dog)
'Cause all I want to see is motherfucking brains hanging (P Dog)
Another level when it's me and Devils gang-banging (P Dog)
So don't be telling me to get the nine, violent spirit (P Dog)
Cause when I'm violent is the only time the devils hear it (P Dog)
Rat-tat-tat goes the gat to his devil's face (P Dog)
I hope he think about how he done us when he lay to waste (P Dog)
And get the feeling of the peeling from the other side
From guns given to my people from my own kind (P Dog)
So get with Ollie cause I'm probably fin to make you mad (P Dog)
I'm steady waiting for the day I get to see his ass (P Dog)
And give him two from the barrel of a black guerrilla (P Dog)
And that's real from the motherfucking Bush Killa

I understand that time is running out

Now who is able to make war with the beast?
It starts with "P"
Trumpets sound when I push the program
And set my sight on a serpent man
Swinging the sword of the righteous
Make devils drop and they just can't spite this
Genocide and the minds of men make
Brothers like me fill up with hate
I smell a skunk in the air
'Cause your program still ain't fair
So who you want to blame for the Hate That Hate Made?
When P let off and pigs get sprayed
Y'all want to kill off the black man?
But I know your master plan
So we'll see who stops the black guerrilla
P Dog the Bush Killa

It's P Dog the Bush Killa

Tolerance is getting thinner
'Cause Iraq never called me "nigger"
So what I want to go off and fight a war for?
You best believe I got your draft card
So bad to hate somebody else
But much worse to hate yourself
Victim to the mentacide of the double-wide
Most black folks be made to die
Keeping 'em on and on
Keeping ya on and on
Now my brother down south said "Fuck the Police"
I'm saying "No Justice, No Peace"
So why'd you stick 'em like that?
'Cause everybody want to get the black
But we'll see who stop the black guerrilla
P Dog the Bush Killa

He's been shot!
The president is dead
Yeah, it's P Dog the Bush Killa
Nobody move, just stay where you are

So where's he at?
I just might wait for his motherfucking ass on a rooftop next tour
Bucking stone cause I'm known to play for keeps
Lay low to the flow and keep it neat
And send his ass home belly up
Should've listened to the facts that the black's been telling ya
It's no surprise that a brother's got wise
Now rat-tat-tat-tat, it's an eye for an eye
Now I'm in it, got to die before we see
That motherfuckers don't give a damn for you or me




So wear a vest on your chest and the rest stand still
For P Dog the Bush Killa

Overall Meaning

The song "Bush Killa" by Paris is a politically charged rap song that expresses the anger and frustration of the African-American community toward the U.S. government and its policies. The song is a direct call for violence against President George H.W. Bush for his role in the Gulf War and his perceived lack of support for the black community. The lyrics describe the planning and execution of an attack on the President, as well as a call to arms for other African-Americans to rise up against the injustices they face.


The opening lines of the song, "Ooh look, it's the president! Hey, Mr. President!/Okay, there he go. Easy, easy, don't lose sight, wait/Two, three and NOW!" sets the tone for the rest of the song. Paris sees the President as his enemy and is ready to take action against him. He has no qualms about killing the President as he believes that it is the only way to get the attention of the government and the media.


The song also touches on other issues affecting the black community, such as police brutality, racial inequality, and the lack of opportunities. It is a powerful and raw expression of the anger and frustration felt by many African-Americans at the time.
