Living The Life Of A Gun
Tarrus Riley Lyrics

Living the life as a gun man
I live as a gun, constantly bringing fear into people's hearts.

Me strike fear inna you heart
I make people scared and they could be my next victim.

All sort a people a walk with me
All kinds of people walk with me, willing to use me to commit violent crimes.

And nuh fear fi pop me off
They do not fear the consequences of using me and getting caught.

When me say blow, see deh, everything dead off
When I am used, everything around me is destroyed and death is brought upon people.

Inna second, look how much trouble I′ve caused
In a matter of seconds, I can cause so much destruction and chaos.

Me black and me chrome
I come in black and chrome, looking deadly and intimidating.

And you can find me on your block or inside your home
I can be found on the streets as well as inside homes, threatening people's lives.

My name is Glock, me parr with a crew weh name Shots
I am a Glock, partnered with a group of guns known as Shots.

A weh dem mek gun for?
Why do people make guns knowing the damage they cause?

Me nuh see no good weh it a do 'round yah
I do not see any good being done with guns around here.

Gun wust dan bull buck and duppy conquer
Guns are worse than a bull's headbutt and ghost conquering.

Some pick me up now and then
Some people pick me up every now and then, making me their source of power and control.

Some call me them best friend
Some people consider me their best friend, relying on me to solve their problems using violence.

And walk with me and talk to me
They walk and talk with me as if I am a living thing, showing how much power they give me.

Like dem and dem gun a parr
They treat their gun as if it is a person.

Like blow, see it deh, somebody lef′ a bawl
When I am used, people cry and are left in pain.

Inna second look how much sorrow I've caused
In just seconds, I can bring so much pain and suffering.

Am used and abuse dem never lef' me out
People use and abuse me constantly, never leaving me out of their violent acts.

When dem a go ′pon dem move
When they are planning their violent moves.

Tonight dem say dem hungry dem a go eat someone food
They commit crimes just to satisfy their own hunger for power and control.

A me give them the strength fi dem a gwaan so good
I give them the strength and power to keep going with their violent lifestyle.

I give you nothing but mischief
I only bring trouble and misery to people's lives.

Hey check you ballistic and statistics
Think about the impact that guns have on people's lives and society as a whole.

Murder people and we don't leave no witness
We kill people without any regard for their lives and without leaving any witnesses.

You better make sure you nuh deh ′pon the hitlist, no oh
Make sure you are not on the list of people who will be targeted by guns.

Blow, blow, people dress inna black one more funeral
Every time I am used, it leads to another funeral for someone who lost their life to violence.

Boom, boom, papa start weep
The sound of gunshots leads to people crying and mourning their loved ones.

Tired fi see badness wrap up inna white sheet
People are tired of seeing the aftermath of violence, with bodies wrapped up in white sheets.
