No Guns Allowed
Snoop Lion Lyrics

Money makes a man and that's a crime
The obsession with money and material things has driven society to commit illegal and immoral acts.

If we all were rich, we'd spend more time With our daughters and sons, they're losing their minds
If we weren't consumed by the pursuit of wealth, we could focus on spending quality time with our loved ones, who are suffering from the effects of societal pressures and expectations.

We all feel hurt, here's mine, hear me now
We all carry emotional pain, and I'm sharing mine to bring attention to the issue at hand.

Cause, no guns are allowed, in here tonight We're gonna have a free-for-all, no fights I wanna get lost in the crowd, in here tonight I need to hear my thoughts, turn the music up loud
Tonight, we are creating a safe space by banning guns and encouraging peace. We want to get lost in the music and let our thoughts run free.

Let the music play, me don't want no more gunplay When the bodies hit the ground, there's nothing left to say, ay, ay Me don't want to see no more innocent blood shed Me don't want to see no more youth dead Come hear me now
We don't want any more violence, and we're tired of innocent lives being lost. We're pleading for change and asking for people to listen.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, news from back home This when it hurts to be gone Two more young names to be carved out of stone One summer day that went horribly wrong Got my dawg on the phone Cryin' and sayin' to leave him alone, but I'm not leavin' his side I know that somebody died, somebody's child Some people ducked down and some people hide Some people just cannot react in time Bullets do not choose a victim It is the shooter that picks 'em They just can't wait to get you in the system The district attorney could use a conviction
Receiving news of the tragic loss of young lives from my hometown is heartbreaking. In moments of crisis, some people have the ability to react and others don't. The responsibility for choosing victims lies solely on the shooters, who are too eager to cause harm, and the legal system needs to hold them accountable.

Told you no guns and then you didn't listen Life is so heavy with that on your soul Dedicate this to Shyanne and Josh And pour sumthin' out for the lives that they stole 416
We have been warning against the use of guns, but some refuse to listen. The weight of such violence is unbearable. I dedicate this to Shyanne and Josh, who lost their lives senselessly. Let's raise a glass in honor of their memory.

No guns are allowed, in here tonight We're gonna have a free-for-all, no fights I wanna get lost in the crowd, in here tonight I need to hear my thoughts, turn the music up loud
Once again, we are reiterating the importance of peace and safety. We want to enjoy the music and the company of others without violence or conflict.

Money makes a man and that's a crime Money makes a man and that's a crime I wanna get lost in the crowd, in here tonight
The focus on material wealth has negative consequences for society. For now, let's seek refuge in the music and forget about our problems for a little while.
