Tomorrows Bad Seeds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tomorrows Bad Seeds, Indie, Indeed. huh
I told em they be fuckin with a veteran
A warning like a cross bones and skeletons
When slugs hit there melon their brain looks like gelatin
Get it together than strengthen my regiment.
We brought the batterin' rams just incase you dont want to let us in.
The zy man? is on the loose, like o.j. he might kill again
And if im sick of it you loose a ligament
So dont act a fool then you better keep it cool like a peppermint
Focus on stackin chips, keep my aim accurate
All i need from you is some space so back it up a bit
Quick with the knowledge of self and good politics
My motto is i got to get the chips, and alot of it
Sippin on that captain and coke chewing kalonapins
Ridding with Tomorrows Bad Seeds dont even gotta win.
Block it and we walkin it non stop around the clock again
Modeling a new technique and i be hollerin'
Ive been told of a guy a wild gun slinger with a ghost in his eye
Known to rely on one finger and his colt 45
The one thing that he holds to survive
The hunt fiend that gets older with time
Hes unseen till the vultures arive and some think that hes only a lie
A dumb dream from a culture that died.
Its convienient, but folks realize, what i mean is just dont be suprised
When hes approaching a fight, jokin' aside he's supposed to arrive soon,
The suns beamin' over the sky risin a high noon.
I assume the ultimate high is tryin to fine tune
The slight movement from holster to side if ima fire smooth.
If i was you i'd keep my distance quick,
He keeps a victim list inscripted in the thinkness of his pistols grip.
Cause if you're flinichin' when he flicks his wrist, you're done, see ya.
Thats what ya get for fucking with the gift of Gunslinger
(Chorus)
If it dont break me it makes me strong,
What took some time wont take too long,
And im not leavin, wont stop breathin,
Its the truth i've been seekin.
In "Gunslinger," by Tomorrows Bad Seeds, the rapper delivers a warning to whoever doubts his skills as a veteran in the game. He compares himself and his crew to battering rams, ready to break down barriers and get what they want. He also likens himself to a gunslinger, a wild and elusive figure with a mysterious past and a reputation for violence. The gunslinger is described as someone who relies on their instincts and their trusty Colt .45 to survive. They are feared and respected by those who know of them, but also seen as outcasts from society. The rapper warns that messing with him or his crew will result in severe consequences, as they are not to be messed with.
The lyrics in "Gunslinger" are full of metaphor and bravado, and portray the rapper as a figure who is both dangerous and confident. He uses imagery from the Wild West to convey his message, and makes it clear that he is not someone to be trifled with. The gunslinger figure is both a symbol of fear and respect, and the rapper uses it to show that he is not to be taken lightly. The chorus of the song, which states that "if it don't break me it makes me strong," is a testament to the rapper's resilience and determination, and is meant to inspire others to follow in his footsteps.

I told em they be fuckin with a veteran
I warned them that they are dealing with an experienced person
A warning like a cross bones and skeletons
My warning is as obvious as a skull and crossbones

Get it together than strengthen my regiment.
Pull yourself together and make our team stronger
We brought the batterin' rams just incase you dont want to let us in.

I shoot at them like Edison's light bulb and they fly off like pelicans
The zy man? is on the loose, like o.j. he might kill again
The drug addict is on the loose, just like O.J. Simpson, and could cause more harm
And if im sick of it you loose a ligament
If I get tired of it, you might get hurt
So dont act a fool then you better keep it cool like a peppermint
Don't behave foolishly, keep calm like peppermint
Focus on stackin chips, keep my aim accurate
Concentrate on making money and keep my aim precise
All i need from you is some space so back it up a bit

Modeling a new technique and i be hollerin'
I am practicing a new technique and shouting it out
Ive been told of a guy a wild gun slinger with a ghost in his eye
I have heard of a man who is a notorious gunman and has a menacing look in his eyes
Known to rely on one finger and his colt 45
He is known for using just one finger to shoot his colt 45
The one thing that he holds to survive
The only thing he has to survive is his gun
The hunt fiend that gets older with time
The hunter who becomes more experienced over time
Hes unseen till the vultures arive and some think that hes only a lie
He remains hidden until danger is imminent, and some even believe he does not exist
A dumb dream from a culture that died.
An unrealistic idea from a dead culture
Its convienient, but folks realize, what i mean is just dont be suprised
It is advantageous, but people should not be surprised
When hes approaching a fight, jokin' aside he's supposed to arrive soon,
When he is about to engage in combat, he is expected to arrive soon
The suns beamin' over the sky risin a high noon.
The sun is shining bright over the high noon sky
I assume the ultimate high is tryin to fine tune
I believe that achieving perfection is the ultimate reward
The slight movement from holster to side if ima fire smooth.
The smooth movement from the holster to firing position
If i was you i'd keep my distance quick,
If I were you, I would back away quickly
He keeps a victim list inscripted in the thinkness of his pistols grip.
He keeps a list of his victims engraved on his pistol grip
Cause if you're flinichin' when he flicks his wrist, you're done, see ya.
If you flinch when he flicks his wrist, you are done for
Thats what ya get for fucking with the gift of Gunslinger
That's the consequence you face for crossing paths with a gifted gunslinger
If it dont break me it makes me strong,
Adversity strengthens me
What took some time wont take too long,
What has taken some time will soon come to an end
And im not leavin, wont stop breathin,
I am not leaving and will not stop breathing
Its the truth i've been seekin.
It is my quest to find the truth
