Guns
Quelle Chris Lyrics

Just because you packin' out here 'lax fam you ain't 2Pac
Carrying a gun doesn't make you a legendary rapper or immune to danger

Granny keep a loaded .45 right inside the glove box
Even elderly people feel the need to carry protection in this violent world

Brandon shot his first keystone 'fore he could spell his last name
Underage drinking and guns are unfortunately normalized in some communities

Junior learned to load from uncle Charlie at the card game
Children are taught dangerous habits and skills by their adult family members

Kelly lit her school up like it's 4th of July
Gun violence in schools is a horrifying reality in some parts of the country

Where she from, them .22s more patriotic than pie
Guns are viewed as an integral part of certain communities and even a symbol of patriotism

New year, shoot up the sky
Celebratory gunfire is a dangerous and reckless tradition in some places

Shooters boot up and ride
Gun-toting individuals and groups are always ready to use their weapons

Po-pos show up and fire
Police officers also have a tendency to use their firearms in violent confrontations

No, there's nowhere to hide
As long as guns are abundant and easily accessible, no one is truly safe from harm

I pull up, get out, shoot you right in the mouth
The glorification of guns in certain music and culture only perpetuates the cycle of violence

I boot up, shoot up, come right in ya house
The idea of violently invading someone's home is normalized in some circles

They hollerin' give me back my bullets
The reference to a song by Lynyrd Skynyrd highlights the romanticization of guns in certain types of music

Lynyrd Skynyrd, new Van Zants
The mention of these bands further emphasizes the culture of gun worship in certain types of music

If you own it, then you'll pull it
The attitude that owning a gun necessitates using it is a dangerous and misguided one

Maybe so, probably not
The idea that guns actually keep people safe is highly questionable

They spend billions like civilians won't catch trickle from the top
The government's spending on defense and weapons does not necessarily benefit everyday people

Just to protect or to progress what but little bit we got
The emphasis on guns and military power is often at the expense of social progress and equality

Bruh bruh
A casual greeting between friends, emphasizing the normalcy of gun culture in some communities

I'm your friendly neighbor
An ironic statement given the artist's violent and threatening behavior

I stay on yo block
The artist is claiming ownership and control over the area

I protect and service
A reference to the police, who often use their power to harm or oppress certain communities

I big game, buckshot
The singer is asserting their dominance with a reference to hunting and killing large animals

Ain't no cracking that code ain't no safety on locks
Guns are easily accessible and difficult to control, leading to accidents and tragedies

Might as well get you one
The idea that owning a gun is necessary for survival in a violent world is a dangerous one

Procrastinating will get you popped
Delaying the purchase or ownership of a gun can lead to harm or even death in certain situations
