a boy is a gun*
Tyler the Creator Lyrics
No, don't shoot me down (yeah)
No, don't shoot me down (okay)
No, don't shoot me down
You so motherfuckin' dangerous (you started with a mere hello)
You so motherfuckin' dangerous
You got me by my neck (a boy is a gun)
That's why these other niggas lame to us
'Cause all these other niggas lame as fuck
We show 'em no respect
(You started with a mere hello) When the time's right, yeah
When the time's right, baby
When the time's right (a boy is a gun)
(Turn me up a little bit)
No, don't shoot me down
Take your hoodie off, why you hide your face from me?
Make your fuckin' mind up, I am sick of waitin' patiently
How come you the best to me? I know you the worst for me
Boy, you sweet as sugar, diabetic to the first degree
My spidey sensies, got me on the fencies
Whole squad in Ginza, travel bag by Balenci'
Big dawg hittin' big wheelies on the six speed
No, don't shoot me down
You so motherfuckin' dangerous (you started with a mere hello)
You so motherfuckin' dangerous
You got me by my neck (a boy is a gun)
That's why these other niggas lame to us
'Cause all these other niggas lame as fuck
They showin' no respect
(You started with a mere hello) When the time's right, yeah
When the time's right, baby
When the time's right (I said a boy is a gun)
(Look) No, don't shoot me down
Oh, you passive-aggressive? (You started with a mere hello)
Oh, you fakin' you're mad?
Oh, you wanna go home? Cool, you better call you a cab
I ain't takin' you home, yeah, I'm brushin' you off
'Cause this parka is Comme, you're my favorite garçon
Don't leave, stay right here, yeah, I want you right near (you started with a mere hello)
You invited me to breakfast, why the fuck your ex here?
Well, let's see if you 'round the God around this time next year
No, don't shoot me down
No, don't shoot me down (fucked up)
No, don't shoot me down
No, don't shoot me down
You so motherfuckin' dangerous (you started with a mere hello)
You so motherfuckin' dangerous
You got me by my neck (a boy is a gun)
That's why I start to think it's lame as fuck
(Well, I'm here for you)
(You started with a mere hello) When the time's right
When the time's right, baby
When the time's right (a boy is a gun)
No, don't shoot me down
(You started with a mere hello) you're a gun 'cause
I like you on my side
At all times
Keep me safe (No, don't shoot me down)
Wait, wait, depending on, you know (all the time)
You could be dangerous to me (time, time)
Or anyone else
Look, they be bringin' us up (you started with a mere hello)
Yeah, like now and again
Give a fuck what they talkin' 'bout, I see you as a ten
I'ma leave it at that, I'ma leave us as friends
'Cause the irony is I don't wanna see you again
Stay the fuck away from me
Stay the fuck away from me
Stay the fuck away from me
I ain't gon' repeat myself, but stay the fuck away from me
(You started with a mere hello)
(A boy is a gun)
No, don't shoot me down
(You started with a mere hello)
(A boy is a gun)

“A BOY IS A GUN*” is the seventh track, and was first teased in a 28-second snippet posted by Tyler on May 13, 2019. It is one of the softer cuts on the album with the chorus featuring prominent use of a soul sample, and glittery synths and keys littered through out the background.
Throughout the song, Tyler compares being with his love interest with gun ownership in a few interesting ways.
The first verse describes how Tyler is both aware that owning a gun/being with this person is dangerous and probably unhealthy Read Full Bio“A BOY IS A GUN*” is the seventh track, and was first teased in a 28-second snippet posted by Tyler on May 13, 2019.

Throughout the song, Tyler compares being with his love interest with gun ownership in a few interesting ways.
The first verse describes how Tyler is both aware that owning a gun/being with this person is dangerous and probably unhealthy, but at the same time he feels the need for security because of his wealth and success. He feels safer with the gun/person, even if he pays a price in doing so.
In the second verse, Tyler explores the ways in which he can flip flop even moment to moment when it comes to whether he wants the gun/person or would rather get rid of it/them.
In the third verse, Tyler discusses the stigma that he feels because of his position. Clearly his friends or family do not approve of his gun ownership/relationship, and he in turns agrees with them and feels defiant towards them.
