Gunned Down
Ghalil Einstein's Powerful Message Against Gun Violence
Lyrics
Yeah
Expression of agreement or acknowledgment
AngelLaCiencia
Reference to "AngelLaCiencia," possibly an alias or a symbolic name
Looky let that s*** bang nikka
Encouragement to release gunfire
Looky let that s*** bang nikka
Repetition of the encouragement to release gunfire
Back in the hood and it feels like a Monday
Returning to the neighborhood, likening the feeling to a challenging Monday
But I know I'm still going through Sunday
Acknowledging ongoing struggles, still facing challenges akin to Sunday
And I don't know if this will be a funday
Uncertainty about the day being enjoyable
Police on the block so this might be a bad day
Presence of the police suggests a potentially bad day
If they gonna shoot
Addressing the possibility of a confrontation and gun violence
We gonna shoot like we mean it
Commitment to retaliate if faced with violence
We don't give a f***
Indifference to consequences, as this is a daily occurrence
Cuz we do this every day
Emphasis on the routine nature of their actions
Gonna let them know that we do this every day
Asserting the regularity of their behavior
Put your guns down you get gunned down
Warning about the consequences of not complying
With your hands in the air you get shutdown
Emphasizing vulnerability when surrendering
I see this every day in downtown
Observation of frequent incidents in the downtown area
Black men no guns getting gunned down
Highlighting the vulnerability of unarmed black men
We just struggle every day till the sun's down
Describing the persistent struggles until sunset
Police pulling up in my own compounds
Encountering the police in one's own living space
I don't f*** with these pigs
Expressing disdain for law enforcement
You're all clowns
Dismissing the police as foolish or incompetent
I'm hoping that God will never let me down
Expressing hope in divine protection
Put your guns down you get gunned down
Repetition of themes, emphasizing the cycle of violence, distrust of the police, and hope for divine intervention
With your hands in the air you get shutdown
-I see this every day in downtown
-Black men no guns getting gunned down
-We just struggle every day till the sun's down
-Police pulling up in my own compounds
-I don't f*** with these pigs
-You're all clowns
-I'm hoping that God will never let me down
-Run and I run
-I'm running for my life
-Run so fast they won't gun me down
-Matter fact
-Most of these cops are clowns
-Abuse of power
-Boy you're clown
-He ain't got no guns
-Why shoot him down
-Judgement day you all going down
-Slam with the hammer
-You won't miss that sound
-Slam with the hammer
-You will hear that sound
-Po
-Po
-Let's go
-Let me live my life before I go
-Police they've been tripping everyday
-We don't know why they acting like this
-Killing us like we some animals
-And dropping all our bodies on the floor
-I fear for my life and they know
-But we know one day everything will stop
-Raa
-Raa
-Raah
-Put your guns down you get gunned down
-With your hands in the air you get shutdown
-I see this every day in downtown
-Black men no guns getting gunned down
-We just struggle every day till the sun's down
-Police pulling up in my own compounds
-I don't f*** with these pigs
-You're all clowns
-I'm hoping that God will never let me down
-Put your guns down you get gunned down
-With your hands in the air you get shutdown
-I see this every day in downtown
-Black men no guns getting gunned down
-We just struggle every day till the sun's down
-Police pulling up in my own compounds
-I don't f*** with these pigs
-You're all clowns
-I'm hoping that God will never let me down
