Lyrics for When the Gun Draws by Pharoahe Monch
Songwriters: Porter, Denaun M; Jamerson, Troy Donald
Then darkness falls and oh, your heart beats rapidly
Flesh, bone, ain't nothin’ for me to penetrate
One false move just might shift me
Grab a gun so easily and shoot a bullet
Then darkness falls and oh, your heart beats rapidly
Strange that is, when all exits are final
Whether domestic violence or coke deals
Be prepared because war is coming
First the gun draws and you know that something's happening
Good evening, my name's Mr. Bullet
But yet remains so painful to rekindle?
You can't be scared now when the streets is calling you
First the gun draws and you know that something's happening
Then darkness falls and oh, your heart beats rapidly
I respond to the index when you pull it
If the cost of a single bullet was more than the firearm?
Something is wrong
Fatality shot entered from the right temple
Quick man, nickname's Quaker Oates 'cause
Just get in 'em, then I renovate
Who the fuck told you to put they names on me?
Be prepared because war is coming
Would the new method of murder be arson or firebombs
Be prepared because war is coming
Into the middle of a child’s face as my daughter experienced
You can't be scared now when the streets is calling you
See how less has changed, brain matter to oatmeal
My attitude is cold and callous
If I'm in lodged then your soul's not claimed
First the gun draws and you know that something's happening
Point blank range that is
And when I kill kids, they say shame on me
It's what made a widow of Jackie O.
Was not fired from a six story window
And if the past be known, at last we know
What happened that afternoon on the Grassy Knoll
And it can happen so swiftly
Especially when I'm in the hood, I never discriminate
I come through your city, I'm hot whether you're jiggy or not
Whether your Biggie or 'Pac when the gun draws
The trigger, so make a note, take a vote
Killed Kings in Tennessee, presidents in Dallas
Can it be that it was all so simple
I will remind that ass when it's about to rain like
The government hired Lee Harvey to blast me though
White man made me venom to eliminate
