[Repeat Hook:]
The "Gun Sound" by Waka Flocka Flame is a rap song about gang culture and glorifying violent behaviors. The hook of the song is inviting the listener to "ring the alarm" because their gang is in town and they are ready to attack. The lyrics discuss using guns to threaten and intimidate others, while also sharing stories of violent attacks on rival gangs. The chorus repeats the phrase "luh dat gun sound," implying that the gunshots are enjoyable and even exciting to the rapper and his crew.
In the first verse, Waka Flocka Flame boasts about his ability to use a "heavy choppa" (a slang term for a machine gun) and his affiliation with the So Icey gang. He also comments on his appearance, describing himself as a "lite skin rasta" who acts like a "mobstaz." The verse ends with the line "FLOCKA! WAKA FLOCKA!" which is the rapper's signature catchphrase.
The second verse continues the discussion of gang culture, criticizing those who engage in "corporate thuggin" and promoting the use of violence to deal with conflicts. The lyrics use profanity and slang words that may be unfamiliar to some listeners, but the overall message is clear: the rapper and his crew are not to be messed with. The song ends with another repetition of the chorus.
