Ini Kamoze - Gunshot

Hey, hey, hey
Run for cover

Gunshot respect not, boom
Gunshot it no respect notch
Shot respect not
Gunshot it no respect notch

Now cats and dogs and "men and people"
For some it's good and some stupid evil
For Kings and Queens and El Presidente
Or a passer-by and spy, oh
Could wind up in a cemetery

Gunshot respect not, boom
Gunshot it no respect notch
Shot respect not
Gunshot it no respect notch

Hey, don't know what a bullet won't do
Hey

Even a minister and the sinister
A marine of Brigadista
Some win, some lose, hey
Some skip across the border
When men were bold, this thing wasn't plenty
Now that heaven and earth are old, hey
One fool makes many

Gunshot respect not, skeng-eh
Gunshot it no respect notch
Shot respect not
Gunshot it no respect notch
Aw, aw, aw

Run for cover
I don't know what the bullet won't do

Follow you 'round the corner
Follow you across the border
When it hits it hurts
Throw you down in the dirt
They have to cover you with earth
Hey, hey, hey..
Tear drops like rain, whoa

Even a minister and the sinister, hey
A marine of Brigadista
Some win, some lose, hey
Some skip across the border
When men were bold, this killing wasn't plenty
Now that heaven and earth are old, hey
One fool makes many

Gunshot respect not, skeng-eh
Gunshot it no respect notch
Shot respect not
Gunshot it no respect notch
Aw, aw, aw

Run for cover
Don't know what a bullet won't do
Hey
I don't know what a bullet won't do
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Follow you 'round the corner
Follow you across the border
Tracks you down to your mother
Running you down into the streets and lanes
Hits the juice out of your veins, hey, hey

I don't know what a bullet won't do
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I don't know what a bullet won't do
Hey

Gunshot respect not, skeng-eh
Gunshot it no respect notch
Shot respect not
Gunshot it no respect notch
Aw, aw, aw
