Yo, it started with a kiss
Ended with an empty clip
You know how these things go
I checked the ten o'clock news
Saw his face on the tube
They say he lost control
(Control)
He's got fire in his pocket
And some pain he wants to share
He's a rebel with a rocket
Bullets flying through the air
And we could all judge him
But why'd we never love him
(Tell me)
The guns, the guns, the guns
The guns won't help us
The guns, the guns, the guns
The guns can't care
The guns, the guns
The guns they're only laughing
Cause they're the ones who'll always be here
We'll be long gone successor (Successor)
We'll be long gone successor (Successor)
(Yeah)
And the thugs
Dem go bang bang (Bang bang)
They like to play with toys
That go bang bang (Bang)
Big guns
Dem go bang bang (Bang bang)
Good girls, they love the boys
That lock and load bang
It started with a kiss
Ended with a scholarship
He said he'd always provide
Till something raised a red flag
She knew it couldn't last
Cause he forgot to tell his wife
She's a gypsy on the road
She's a girl without a home
Yeah, she's trouble on the go
Lining straight up with your dome
And no one ever pitied her
But now we can't forget her
(Tell me)
The guns, the guns, the guns
The guns won't help us
The guns, the guns, the guns
The guns can't care
The guns, the guns
The guns they're only laughing
Cause they're the ones who'll always be here
We'll be long gone successor (Successor)
We'll be long gone successor (Successor)
(Yeah)
And the thugs
Dem go bang bang (Bang bang)
They like to play with toys
That go bang bang (Bang)
Big guns
Dem go bang bang (Bang bang)
Good girls, they love the boys
That lock and load bang
And the thugs
Dem go bang bang
They like to play with toys
That go bang bang
Big guns (Big guns)
Dem go bang bang (Bang bang)
Good girls, they love the boys
That lock and load bang
Another rebel making some noise
Media make him look poised
See him on the t-tv screen
But you gotta make-make that choice
Depending on the skin he's in
People might dance and rejoice
Just another family destroyed
Just another forgotten voice
Gotta keep my ear in these streets
Gotta keep the fear on discreet
Feds wanna own all my pride
Keep me handcuffed no release
Thinking my justice's deceased
Talking no justice no peace
Take the guns from the police
Can I get an amen at least?
(Yeah)
It started with a kiss
And ended with an empty clip
You know it started with a kiss
And ended so tragic
And the thugs
Dem go bang bang
They like to play with toys
That go bang bang
Big guns
Dem go bang bang
Good girls, they love the boys
That lock and load bang
