Shotgun
S.C.O.T.S. Lyrics

Life after prison ain't easy (No no)
The struggles of life after being released from prison are real and it's not easy to cope with.

This neighborhood's no longer safe
The environment has changed and it's not a safe place anymore.

His amigos are dead or in jail (Yeah, yeah yeah)
His friends are either dead or serving time in prison, leaving him alone.

The old hangout's gone (Long, long gone, long gone)
The familiar places where he used to go are no longer there.

Hunters chase their two-legged prey (Can't stand in my way)
It's a dangerous place where people are hunted and you have to be careful not to get in their way.

These lions roar with gunpowder (Oh no, no no)
Gun violence is prevalent in the area and it's scary to hear the sounds of gunfire.

Can't trust the police
The police are not trustworthy and cannot be relied upon for help.

Shotgun Safari
The daily struggle to survive in a dangerous environment is like a safari hunt, where a shotgun is your only way to protect yourself.

No place to go but back underground
The only option is to stay hidden and underground to avoid danger.

This ghetto keeps getting worse and worse (No, no, no)
The living conditions in the ghetto are deteriorating and it's not getting any better.

Crawl through the alleys and stalk your prey (No no no)
Being cautious and vigilant is necessary to avoid danger and stay alive.

Stray dogs roam these streets (Mad dogs, mad dogs)
The streets are filled with stray dogs that are dangerous and unpredictable.

Nobody's king of this jungle
No one is in control in this dangerous environment.

All you can do is hope to survive
Survival is the only thing that matters in this dangerous place.

When you're out at night, stay in the shadows (Nobody, nobody)
Staying hidden in the shadows is the only way to avoid danger when walking around at night.

All of this madness
The chaos and danger in this environment is overwhelming and difficult to cope with.

Watch yourself
Stay alert and careful to avoid danger.

Animals on the street
The environment is so dangerous that people are like animals on the street.

Better watch out
Be careful and vigilant at all times to avoid danger.

Hey, Hey!
A way of emphasizing the message and warning others about the dangers of the environment.
