Bang Bang Bang Lyrics
The youth in the street told me
We love you when shotters
Chicago, shoot first, think last
That's still my deal on the street now
Shoot first, think last
How long will this blood bath last?
Shoot first, think last
That's still my deal on the street now
Shoot first, think last
How long will this blood bath last?
Bang, bang, bang, bang
Everywhere it's a bang, bang, bang
Goons like ragatang
Everywhere it's a bang, bang, bang
Chicago got that bang, bang, bang
It's a bang, bang, bang
Goons like ragatang
Everywhere it's a bang, bang, bang
Welcome to Chicago, where the ghost of Al Capone roams the streets
And the kids they carry heat, and they hungry for the feast
And the dogs will do, whatever it takes to eat
Even if they gotta put your kids to permanent sleep
That's the model on the street, yea
Shoot first, think last
How long will this blood bath last?
Shoot first, think last
That's the model on the street, yea
Shoot first, think last
How long will this blood bath last?
Bang, bang, bang, bang
Everywhere it's a bang, bang, bang
Goons walk around like orangutans
Everywhere it's a bang, bang, bang
Yea, bang, bang, bang
At the mall it's a bang bang bang
Street corner it's a bang bang bang
Even in front of the church they bang, bang, bang
God knows, seen the movie Shakas, I've been richy yes
But on these streets, I know the real richy yes
I got some of my homies, they won't see the next 30 summers
They got them in the cage, somewhere down under
Them boys, they used to
Shoot first, think last
That's the model on the street, yea
Shoot first, think last
How long will this blood bath last?
Shoot first, think last
That's the model on the street, yea
Shoot first, think last
Yeah, show them love
Wanna get the blood out they eyes show them love
Yeah, show the youth love
Wanna get the blood out they eyes show them love
Yeah, show the youth love
Yeah, just a little love, all they need is love
Cause he grew up with no papa

I have a favorite track; Bang Bang Bang. Bang Bang Bang is talking about Chicago. What’s going on in Chicago is going on in every hood in the world. When I sing If I Was President, the kids fuck with me. I’m most comfortable when you just give me a guitar and I just sing. I’m like a hippie. At the end of the day, that’s what my voice caters to. How many mothafuckers can just stop in the middle of a mixtape and say, let me just grab an acoustic guitar and sing a song. The ending is dope because I sing and just show them a little love because most of those kids grew up with no papa. At the end of the day, we’re criticizing them but what do we really do? To me, that’s the song I’m most proud of. That’s me giving the youth my message.
