Hoi!
The song "Bullet Proof" by Popcaan seems to be a commentary on the realities of gun violence and the hardships of living in a dangerous community. Popcaan starts by acknowledging the animosity that some individuals hold towards him and his crew. He highlights the fact that there are those who would curse him, and wish for his downfall. He knows that some people do not want to see him live to pass the age of thirty. He uses his words like a shield, emphasizing that he doesn't carry feelings but instead carries guns, the sharp contrasts between emotions and weaponry. Popcaan associates with other "real, real thugs" such as Skully, Joshie, and Shella, whom he finds solace and protection from.
The song speaks to the struggles of living in an environment where danger lurks at every corner. It's a situation where society, culture, and media have normalized violence through movies, songs, and social media. The chorus repeats that some hearts are dirty and that they don't want Popcaan and his crew to live past thirty. Popcaan isn't afraid to acknowledge the violence, instead referencing that violence is second-hand nature to the people in his environment. He affirms that he will protect himself by carrying his guns, as the danger that arises is one that can't be resolved through mediation or talks. Ultimately, Popcaan's message seems to be one that pleads with people to look after themselves, to protect themselves in a world that isn't always safe.
