Lyrical Analysis of...
Weapons
- (intro ):
- "this goes out to street thugs who thrive on weapons and
- gun violence to survive,the struggles of the hood,
- This is dedicated to those who encounter the dangers of harmful objects
- they get attached to ,life threatening to innocent people "
- (verse 1 ):
- The jungle is another word for life in the hood,
- living here is a major struggle, its always up to no good
- It's the home of gangs, drugs, murders, and street violence
- Its the home to felonies, convicts, killers, police watch and At liens
- as a kid I've been beaten and jacked for my shoes, money, and hoodies
- I used to get jumped and robbed for my gold chains, rings, and watches by neighborhood bullies
- I always stood up for myself I was no punk I would never run,
- Men in the hood see dogs as pets, and man's best friend was a gun
- even moms stashed one,
- then a wise man once told me the dangers of a lethal weapon,
- thugs used them to kill, pops used them for protection
- I was bound to stay away of harmful objects moms and pops had kept in
- I imagine my hand gripping a smith n Wesson, as pointing it at the bullies as they get to step in
- but weapons are what injures your life and get you killed,
- the OG's kept many concealed
- my thoughts about people with weapons are cowards, I took a moment of silence
- thinking about all the close ones I knew that died from gun violence
- I even disregarded using the pocket knife my pops once gave me, and using other weapons makes you a wussy
- I don't kill, there's other ways to handle shit, I'm no pussy
- before pops passed he got away from the streets, and was teaching me how to be a man,
- Instead of using weapons for safety, I was taught the method to use my bare hand
- after many days of training, I got to thank my pops and big brothers for showing me self defense,
- while getting my ass handed to them, fighting made more sense,
- so now I depend on the power of my fist,
- fighting was a safe way to solve the problem and it sometimes got the job done,
- so that's when I threw away my pops gun
- this method help me realize I can live another day,
- a much safer way,
- so I use my bare hands to this day
- bats, knifes, trigger happy niggers,
- and pussy ass killers,
- and those addicted to gun obsession,
- beware of the dangers of a weapon
- (chorus/hook ):
- (their dangerous stay away from them, don't go out like a wussy
- don't use gun violence as protection, don't be a pussy
- stay away ,stay away,
- and these are my confessions,
- I've learned valuable lessons
- beware...
- cause you might encounter the danger of them
- so,
- 4x (beware of weapons )
- Please hear me out I'm no killer, what so ever
- but I can be easily tempted to really hurt a nigger,
- and I think your a straight bitch if you take away someone's life by the trigger
- I fear nothing and no one but God, I'm all man and I don't care who or what I'm facing
- I tell these hard cats to give me a time and destination, and I'm not playing
- I fear the use of weapons, but I'm not scared of people using weapons
- I rather live and die like a real man, than live or die like a punk,
- if you kill a human you'll find yourself behind bars at the bottom bunk
- I'm tired and stressed from these trouble makers trying to tempt me,
- so I show up for the fight alone, unarmed, and empty
- they arrived with beef, as tensions grew quickly,
- within minutes I was knocking fools out simply
- shit got real and I was really serious,
- and I got real furious
- as the battle had begun, things got real dirty
- rolling in the dirt ,all covered up in mud,
- my t shirt was soaking wet with sweat, getting filthy
- taking painful hits, experience drops of blood
- as when I thought my victorious fight was over, dude got slick
- by faking to leave, turned my back before knowing it was a trick,
- another dude came up from behind me and struck me with a brick
- Laying down on the concrete defenseless,
- as the crowd encouraged me to get up, I got real tenacious
- that's when I decided to walk away, crowd booing them off while cheering for me,
- dude was being a sore loser and pulled out a 9 Millie
- heard a voice yell, not knowing the gun pointed at my back,
- then came a loud pop, as I started to see a flash back
- my headache buzzing as I hear my pops words "be a man "
- I'm picturing him grabbing my hand ,
- I started clinching my fist,
- thinking about if my shooter didn't miss
- then I started picturing my pops gun, then imagining my own birth in my flashbacks,
- my heart thumping rampantly, I start hearing monitor beats as I quickly backtracked
- waking up in an emergency room ,nervously shake in
- I hear the doc shouting "hurry he is going to make it "
- my veins started to cringe, my pulse squeezing
- getting electric shots to the chest doc yells "he's breathing ",
- My eyes barely open while coughing and wheezing
- Laying on a bed cautious wondering if I'm dreaming
- after the scarce results of testing,
- I'm made it out alive it's a blessing
- me encountering a person with a weapon,
- asking the lord for me to live, and this is my confession
- 2x (chorus/hook ):
- (their dangerous stay away from them, don't go out like a wussy,
- don't use gun violence as protection, don't be a pussy,
- stay away, stay away
- and these are my confessions,
- I've learned valuable lessons
- Beware...
- Cause you might encounter the dangers of them
- So,
- 4x (beware of weapons !))
- (verse 3 ):
- Later I was checked out of the hospital after long harsh weeks of recovery,
- confused and frustrated especially after losing my incidents memory
- I was fulfilled with anger and revenge had me hungry
- life then was tough for me being escorted in a wheel chair
- too frustrated too take my prescription, my thoughts got me mad of why I couldn't remember
- I can't understand my incident just happened last December
- a dark side of me made me call my partners over so they can help me,
- so they can bring me back the punk that did this shit to me
- I was too mad to talk to moms, as she fixed my breakfast and left for work
- I still just cant get my mind over what happened, and I'm deeply hurt
- later on I was looking at childhood pictures in a bag my moms had kept in
- searched through to find a silver smith n Wesson,
- Holding it in my hands while think of my pops words and my major lesson
- a few second later I hear knocking at my door,
- quickly hiding the bag with gun in my moms drawer
- it was my partners returning at the door coming in, and
- they brought an unrecognizable man
- explaining to me that's my shooter, he's tearing up and stated apologizing,
- my frustration took over my emotion for him when I told him I dong care about your crying,
- as he steadily begs forgiveness while whining
- begging for mercy repeatedly saying he's sorry, but I felt revenge wasn't done
- so I ran to my moms room and opened up the drawer and grabbed the gun
- pointing the gun in his face I see the sadness in his eyes,
- cocked back the weapon I closed mine,
- then another I quickly flashed backed and started to realize
- the memorable words "I'm no killer ",my partners yelling he's not worth it ,don't
- loosened my finger off the trigger and I said to myself I wont
- placed the gun down and told my partners to let him go
- then In a nick if time my moms walked in yelling no,
- hugging me as I started to cry telling me to let it go,
- breaking down next my moms called the Po Po
- as the cops came, my moms got rid of all weapons including the gun,
- I said to myself I'm done, what have I done
- but I didn't let gun violence control me,
- snuggled in my partners arms as my moms started to hold me
- I did nothing wrong just the right thing, and these are my confessions
- All I have to say is fuck weapons
- 2x (chorus/hook ):
- (their dangerous stay away from them, don't go out like a wussy
- don't use gun violence as protection, don't be a pussy
- stay away, stay away,
- these are my confessions,
- I've learned valuable lessons,
- beware...
- cause you might encounter the dangers of them,
- so...
- 4x (beware of weapons ))
