When The Guns Come Out
WC E-40 And Christ Bearer Lyrics

When them guns goes off, we be ready for war
We are always prepared for war whenever the guns go off.

When them guns goes off, bitches hit the floor
Whenever the guns go off, people hit the floor in fear.

When them guns goes off, and them sirens roar
When the guns go off and the sirens start to sound off.

Better get that money, and be out the door
It is best to grab any money present in the situation and leave.

Racket, racket, comin' out of the back end
There's a commotion coming from the back end.

Dead at you, he throwin' the hot lead at you
He is shooting at you with deadly intent.

Swang affiliate, X.O. sip, a gold getter
I am an affiliate of Swang, I sip X.O., and I go after gold.

With the rest to gather, my cold killer
I am with the rest of my group, we are cold-blooded killers.

It's "Me Against the World" like 2Pac
I feel like I am alone against the world like 2Pac.

And like Biggie, I'm "Ready to Die" for what you got
I am willing to die for whatever it is that you have, like Biggie.

Got a crew with killas behind me, I'm grimey
I have a group of killers behind me, and I am ruthless.

I'm one of the big body, blowin' cushions where you can find me
I am a big guy who is always smoking weed.

For figures, we bust triggers, who could fuck with us?
We are ready to shoot anyone who messes with us if the payment is good enough.

Dub, E-40, Christ Bearer, plus RZA
A group consisting of Dub, E-40, Christ Bearer, and RZA.

Stick you with the Blade, we gots to get paid
We will use our knives if necessary to get paid.

And for the moolah, we intertwine like French braids
We work together tightly for money, like intertwined French braids.

And I can't fight the feeling like one way
I am unable to control my feelings like the band One Way.

When it comes down to this gangsta shit and gun play
When it comes to gangsta activities and use of guns.

For the loot, we compute it, quick to shoot it
We will shoot immediately for money.

So hit the switch, punk blew it, and bang the music
Turn on the music after dealing with the situation.

I don't care what it takes, we gon' make it
We are willing to do whatever it takes to succeed.

They say the chains too strong for us to break it
People say we cannot break free from our situation due to the strong chains binding us.

Willing to do what it takes for us to make it
We are willing to do whatever is necessary to succeed.

And we can overcome anything we faced with
We can overcome any obstacle that comes our way.

(We are soldiers after all, down by honor we won't fall
As soldiers, we will never fall because of our honor.

After all, all, all, all, all....)
This repetition emphasizes the significance of the previous line.

When them guns go off, bitches hit the floor
People immediately fall to the floor when the guns go off.

Or then forty four slugs gonna hit you, ho
If you do not hit the floor, you may be shot with forty-four bullets.

I don't care what it takes, I pull out a gear
I am willing to do whatever it takes and will pull out the necessary equipment to succeed.

Fuck the snakes, and Kurtis Blow with The Breaks off
I do not care about the snakes around me nor Kurtis Blow with The Breaks off.

Artie Murphy and the Petty Coat Junction
The significance of this line is unclear.

Get two thirty off the head with cold dumplings
Being hit on the head with cold dumplings twice.

Niggaz jump when the AK bark
When the AK-47 is fired, people jump in terror.

Crystal grip pump, make the gun niggaz spark
The crystal grip pump elevates gun violence.

You dig? Niggaz ready for war
Do you understand that we are prepared for war?

Been carryin' the world for so long, it ain't heavy no more
We have been carrying the weight of the world for so long that it no longer feels heavy.

And even when the sirens roar, I taught the violence gore to start firing more
Even when the sirens are sounding, I encourage more violence and shooting.

And when we run out of bullets, and you still want static?
In the event that we run out of bullets, and there is still a desire to fight or argue.

I grab the three eighty and pull out the automatic
I will use the three eighty and the automatic if we run out of bullets.

We better get the money, for shootin' Mossbergs and Beretta's
We must obtain the money to compensate for using Mossbergs and Berettas.

Niggaz ain't shit funny, when it comes to a brawl
There is nothing funny about a brawl.

Suckin' Northstar, trippin' in
It is unclear what this line means.

Guns go off, why'all know why'all strippin'
When guns are used, everyone in the area immediately drops to the floor in fear.

Look out peon, we might of lost the battle, but we won the war
Be careful, we may have lost the battle, but we have won the war.

I grab a bullet, travel, bodies hit the floor
I shoot bullets and people fall to the ground.

Can't be scared of your shadow, you gotta have heart
You cannot be afraid of your own shadow, you must be brave.

Killas on my soil, will turn off the lights and park
The killers on my land will turn off the lights and watch.

Get out the car, unlock, fill out the chopper and let it chop
Get out of the car and prepare the chopper to shoot.

Walk off like nothing happened, give a fuck bout a cop
Walk away from the scene without looking back, and not caring about the police.

Touch you with the Blade, take off your toupee
Stab you with a knife and make your toupee come off.

Put my dirt in your glocks, sometimes I do my dark in the day
I put my secrets in your guns, sometimes I do bad things during the day.

My momma didn't raise no sick, she raised a beast
My mother did not raise a weak child, she raised a strong one.

And I can't rest til my enemies rest in peace
I cannot have peace until my enemies are dead.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall
The larger and more powerful they are, the harder they will fall.

Run up on me, I'ma knock the hell outta why'all
You will regret running up on me when I knock you down.

My back against the ball, strappin' and jackin', I'm puttin' hands on 'em
In a difficult situation, I must use my strength and hands to overcome it.

One hitter, quitter, bob & weavin', karate stance on 'em
A punch to the face is all it takes to take them down, and I will bob and weave in a karate stance.

Dance on 'em, ran on 'em, and land on 'em
I will dance around them and run at them before landing the final blow.

Put my brand on 'em, stand on 'em, because I can on 'em
I will impose my brand on them, stand on them, because I am able to.
