A song about street gang violence, and how it often starts early in broken homes. The subject of the song is a literal child, age unspecified but clearly still in school, who buys a gun to “exorcise their demons”.
[Verse 1]
Still raw out a violent streak
In the office a couple times a week
Emotional, got flustered
Every time he tried to speak
When things at home are tough
You can't contextualize the meaning
So to exorcise your demons
Sometimes you jeopardize your freedom
[Pre-Chorus]
Well we hangout on the corner like some fuckin' street signs
And when we pose in pictures we don't make no peace signs
Well wе hangout on them corners like somе fuckin' street signs
We knew we wouldn't live forever but we would be fine
[Chorus]
Well you got yourself a new gun
(Got yourself a new gun)
But you swore you'd never shoot one
(Swore you'd never shoot one)
Now they calling you a hoodlum
(Calling you a hoodlum)
Somebody fired some shots, somebody called the cops
Now you're just another kid in a box
[Verse 2]
The young bloods all got somethin' to prove
And nothin' to lose
The OGs all got somethin' to lose
And nothin' to prove
Well the young bloods all got somethin' to prove
And nothin' to lose
And the OGs all got somethin' to lose
And nothin' to prove
[Pre-Chorus]
Well we hangout on the corners like some fuckin' street signs
And when we pose in pictures we don't make no peace signs
Well we hangout on them corners like some fuckin' street signs
We knew we wouldn't live forever but we would be fine
[Chorus]
Well you got yourself a new gun
(Got yourself a new gun)
But you swore you'd never shoot one
(Swore you'd never shoot one)
Now they calling you a hoodlum
(Calling you a hoodlum)
Somebody fired some shots, somebody called the cops
Now you're just another kid in a box
[Bridge]
Hold your tongue or hold your gun
Shoot off your mouth but never loaded one
Hold your tongue or hold your gun
Shoot off your mouth but never loaded one
[Chorus]
Well you got yourself a new gun
(Got yourself a new gun)
But you swore you'd never shoot one
(Swore you'd never shoot one)
Now they calling you a hoodlum
(Calling you a hoodlum)
Somebody fired some shots, somebody called the cops
Now you're just another kid in a box
