Gunman

(I would like to make a few comments)

Gunman!

This is a question and a bunch of them want an answer

Why you walking and killing off your black brother?

Have mercy!

Gunman

Tell me where unnu get all of unnu gun from

Nuff of dem a tell me from a foreign land

Some of dem a tell me from the politician

Some of dem a tell me that from Uncle Sam

Man, dem never tell me from the Soviet Union

Say, dem a M-16 used to fire Vietnam

Unnu hear me?

Because Jamaica is an island inna di Caribbean

All I see is just competition

And every day is just another nuclear weapon

Every day inna di ghetto where some new gun a run

Just the other day a shipment come down

Police inna station, dem get some

Soldier up a camp, man, dem get some

Rude boy inna di ghetto get dem hand 'pon some

Everything inna di ghetto done upside down

Could-a see di Maga Man, a me a run up and down

Me a run fi mi life, me no want go under ground

So, what dem a go do when the right time come?

Di wicked are gon' melt like butter 'gainst sun

Jah go tread upon those who a fire dem gun

Unnu hear me?

Because a 1981 dem shoot Ronald Reagan

No bother watch that, me say, dem shoot down Sadat

Dem even shoot the singer dem call John Lennon

Say, inna Jamaica dem kill Roy McGowan

Dem shoot Eric Carter and dem kill Smokey Dan

Di gunman of today, dem no respect no one

Dem fling a couple shot upon the innocent man

'Cause Jamaica is an island out of wood and water

All I know, produce of good farm

Nuff a plant sensimilla, some a plant banana

And send it come a foreign fi Bushmaster

And bring it pon di island fi come wipe out sufferer

A what dem a go tell fi we lager Jah Jah?

And every day, Lord, a just a nuclear weapon

Dem shoot down man, dem kill off woman

Every day inna di ghetto where some new gun a run

Just the other day a shipment come down
