Barrel Of A Gun Lyrics
Track 8 off Electric Highway – has sort of a reggae vibe to it.[Verse 1]
Swagger, the newest nigga, I'm winning
This is just the genesis, homie, it's the beginning
I'm traveling 'round the world and I'm getting paid with my crew
It's a lot of people wondering why I do what I do
When I think about my mother who put your boy through summer school
When I was failing classes, waiting kiss these teachers' ass
And I think about my pops who worked that five to five
On the nights I should've died just to keep the dream alive
Now I'm standing here with twenty gold chains, I never run
Try to harm either one, you gon' have to meet the barrel of a gun
[Pre-Chorus]
You only got one shot
You only got one shot
You only got one shot
Don't fuck it up, yeah
[Chorus]
When you get your shot, you better take it, nigga
When you get your shot, you better take it, nigga
'Cause I'ma take mine and I will not miss
I'ma take mine, homie, watch this
[Verse 2]
A lot of these rappers be out here wilding
Out here talkin' all violent, I prefer to move silent
I know I'm on fire and ain't nobody flyer
These niggas say they hustle when they life is like The Wire
Well, my shit a little different, I'm living like Breaking Bad
I got them white boys cooking up in the lab
And we don't see our peers, we only see the legends
I rarely talk guns, my mind is more a weapon
I'm murdering these rappers, going hard in every session
And my money got it coming, faster than a bullet from—
[Pre-Chorus]
You only got one shot
You only got one shot
You only got one shot
Don't fuck it up, yeah
[Chorus]
When you get your shot, you better take it, nigga
When you get your shot, you better take it, nigga
'Cause I'ma take mine and I will not miss
I'ma take mine, homie, watch this
[Outro]
Homie, watch this
Homie, watch this
