Son of a Gun
Q052 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We’re not the ones with the guns
We’re not the ones with the bullet proof vests
We’re not the fun for your guns!
We’re not the sons of the guns you quest
We’re not the ones with the guns
We’re not the ones with the bullet proof vests
They let their dogs loose in a fit of rage
Took little kids, put’em in a cage
Send money off, call it human aid
It’s Just a distraction that you made
The permit extraction , disturbed the graves
Built by the hostages, turned to slaves
The land of the free, you stole from the brave
We’re gonna taking it all back today!
We’re not the sons of the guns you quest
We’re not the ones with the guns
We’re not the ones with the bullet proof vests
We’re not the fun for your guns!
We’re not the sons of the guns you quest
We’re not the ones with the guns
We’re not the ones with the bullet proof vests
We’re not the fun for your guns!
They wrote history but forgot to read
Every word written, with intent of greed
The waters flow red cause our rivers bleed
They ran from their land for liberty
Formed a clan with a plan, white supremacy
Pushed a poor man into poverty
Dirty paws wrote laws, in policies
For their Genocidal, homicidal strategies!
We’re not the sons of the guns you quest
We’re not the ones with the guns
We’re not the ones with the bullet proof vests
We’re not the fun for your guns!
We’re not the sons of the guns you quest
We’re not the ones with the guns
We’re not the ones with the bullet proof vests
We’re not the fun for your guns!
The lyrics of Q052's song "Son of a Gun" convey a strong message of resistance against oppression and injustice. The song challenges the notion of being labeled as the "sons of the guns," arguing that they are not the ones who possess the weapons or the power to oppress others. The repetition of this statement throughout the song emphasizes the rejection of this identity.
The lyrics also criticize the actions of those in power, highlighting their abuses. The reference to dogs being let loose in a fit of rage symbolizes the brutality unleashed by those in authority. The line about children being put in cages touches upon the heart-wrenching issue of child detention and separation. The mention of "human aid" as a mere distraction implies that the supposed assistance offered by those in power is a facade to divert attention away from their oppressive actions.
Furthermore, the lyrics reflect on the theft of freedom and land, highlighting the historical injustice perpetrated against indigenous people. The graves disturbed and hostages turned into slaves represent the atrocities committed in the past. The line "The land of the free, you stole from the brave" questions the true meaning of freedom and exposes the hypocrisy of those who claim to champion it.
In summary, "Son of a Gun" is a song that raises awareness about societal injustices, challenges oppressive narratives, and advocates for reclaiming freedom and justice.
