Bulletproof
Unveiling the Tragic Dance of Youth and Firearms
Lyrics
Check check one two on the boom shot
Checking the microphone before addressing a serious issue.
Here's the one on the gun in the street spot
Highlighting the dangerous reality of guns in urban areas.
Little boys in the hood far from L A.
Referring to kids in a neighborhood far from Los Angeles.
Got the heat on the street
Firearms are present and accessible on the streets.
Now they're ready to play
Children are now prepared to engage in violence.
Got the look of a crook
Appearance of a criminal.
Now they got the prop
They now have credibility or respect.
Gassed up head full of lead
Being influenced by violent thoughts.
Might even drop a cop
Potential willingness to harm a police officer.
Or not, who knows, it could go any way
The situation is unpredictable, and consequences are uncertain.
But fun with a gun the games children play
Highlighting the dangerous and careless attitude towards guns.
Why did someone have to be the victim
Questioning why someone has to suffer as a victim.
Of a stupid game you shouldn't be playing
Expressing disapproval of engaging in a risky game.
Don't you know that guns aren't for children
Advising against involving children with firearms.
I tried to tell you but you didn't listen
Previous warnings were ignored or not heeded.
The second verse skit is on the hearse tip
Transitioning to another perspective or scenario, possibly a funeral.
Young fingers on triggers and bodies gonna get hit
Emphasizing the lethal consequences of playing with guns.
Lick the shot's that go bang in the night
Describing the sound of gunshots in the night.
Just that quick you know he lost his life
Life can be lost suddenly and unexpectedly.
Such a shame that the game
Expressing regret that the game led to such a tragic outcome.
Had to end like that
Reflecting on the unfortunate ending of the situation.
Body dies mama cries
Describing the aftermath: a body and grieving mother.
When the hammer cracks
Linking the tragedy to the pulling of the gun's trigger.
I know you didn't mean it
Acknowledging that the shooter may not have intended harm.
The damage is done
Recognizing the irreversible consequences of the actions.
It's what you get
Consequences are the result of playing recklessly with guns.
Playing with gun, son
Reiterating the dangers of playing with firearms.
Bulletproof it's a shame
Using "Bulletproof" ironically to highlight vulnerability.
Bulletproof and you know the game
Acknowledging the risky nature of the game involving guns.
One mistake, a lifetime of pain
One mistake can lead to a lifetime of regret and suffering.
Hell your cell yourself to blame
Conveying personal responsibility for the consequences.
Bulletproof no you ain't
Contradicting the false sense of invincibility associated with guns.
Bulletproof and nobody is
Reiterating that no one is truly immune to the dangers of guns.
A gun ain't a toy, toys are for kids
Stressing that guns are not toys, and children should not have them.
Click-clack-pop-pow look what you did
Highlighting the consequences of playing with a real gun.
