Bumbo is a Jamaican cuss word meaning backside. Cappa’s gun is aimed at your ass (probably not literally – that would be weird). The “rasta” at the end of the line completes the JA reference.
Could also be a sly reference to the dancehall tune “Bumbo Red”.
Great annotation – I just wanted to add (not for IQ, I obviously don’t care about that, love the system, just don’t pay attention to mine) …wanted to add that indeed people (and I’ve heard this more in urban settings than elsewhere, by far) DO often intentionally shoot someone “in the ass”, and this is literal. I’m not saying Rae definitely meant this, who knows. The idea is usually twofold, involves both the charges one used to stand a chance of getting, but more than that legal mess it would take a minute to explain, to simply “put a N**ga in a wheelchair”, I used to hear that said often, I would think the real life would end up in music, and possibly does here. This is just some “trivia” to add to the great annotation above – and as you can imagine, being shot in a place that often will land one in a wheelchair is (or was, idk how it “it is” now) worse than being killed, so…you get that aspect. Often this wasn’t the buttocks persay, but the hips, etc, some shot that will likely land a guy in a chair, which had a sort of legal bonus depending on where one was, what law enforcement/etc they were dealing with, how the shooting would be seen if discoverd and proven, the general idea being it was not a shot intended to kill. So…you got to give someone something “worse than death” (obviously it’s not…but that depends largely on perspective) AND not risk the same charge being heavily pushed at you were you to have “gone for a headshot”, to put it in some FPS terms. That stuff is going to vary in every way, slang, the law, etc., from place to place and “era” to era. I can only say I heard it more than enough, this would have been in the states, in the late 90’s.
